Are you experiencing computer issues? NESIT will be holding a computer Clinic Saturday February 18th from 10 AM to 5 PM. Stop by and let our team of volunteers clean spyware, adware viruses and more from your PC, Mac or Linux computer. We can also help with wireless and email issues.
This type of work typically costs hundreds of dollars when performed by the likes of consulting firms and even retail stores like Staples, Best Buy and the Geek Squad. Our volunteers are certified IT pro’s with decades of experience all at your disposal to help you get your computer running again. We simply ask that if you’re able to please make a donation of at least 25 dollars so that we can continue to offer this excellent service to the public.

Micro Monday
Just wanted to let everybody know that we will be reviving and kicking off the embedded development workshop Micro Mondays Tonight starting at 7 PM.
Tonights agenda will be very informal, and will consist of establishing a barebones circuit to test and demonstrate the basic functions of the chip. We’ll learn to write a simple program, power up the chip, and run the program using a flashing LED as an output indicator.
Our microcontroller of choice is the PIC, however, feel free to bring your favorite microntroller (ie arduino) and necessary development tools for a side-by-side comparison.
No guarantees on how much ground will get covered, We have not prepared a lesson or anything like that and will be doing this off the cuff. We’re not expecting a huge turnout anyway due to the short notice. However, if you are interested, feel free to stop over, I’ll be in the electronics department.
We’ll planning on doing this regularly every Monday, unless it conflicts with another event.
Hope to see you there!
