DPRG’s monthly meeting for March is on Saturday, the 10th,  at the Dallas
Maker Space. The meeting starts at Noon.

The meeting will begin with a graduation competition for those who attended
the “Make More Robots!” tutorial series. Participants will use the robot
that they constructed in the class to compete in Quick Trip and Line
Following contests.

After the competitions, DPRG member Ron Grant will present a short talk on
low-cost Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). The presentation will include a
demonstration of  the MPU-6050 sensor using a low-cost and readily
available hardware module. This gyro and accelerator sensor chip has
available orientation sensor code that can be executed on an Arduino or
other suitable micro-controller.
