IEEE Princeton Central Jersey Section

Please join us for a fun filled hands-on workshop sponsored by the IEEE Princeton Central Section, from 1015 am 1215 pm atat the New Education Building room 112. The event will take place during the 46th annual original personal computer festival, Saturday March 29, 2025. (https://tcf-nj.org/) The main goal of the workshop is to introduce participants to electronic devices and basic circuit theory. The Arduino is an affordable, flexible, open-source microcontroller platform using a simplified C programming language and it is designed to make it easy for hobbyists to create homemade projects. Participants are expected to bring a PC and in order to save some time they are also encouraged to download the Arduino software ahead of time. Step by step instruction can be found at the website. https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software. 2000 Pennington Rd, Ewing, New Jersey, United States, 08618

Abstract: This amateur radio project was the most rewarding project I built recently and it is based upon the OpenWebRX+ Linux project found on github (https://luarvique.github.io/ppa/). This is a web-based SDR, which consists of a RF.server, which sends I/Q sampled data, at a typical 2,4 Mb rate (USB limits), via a TCP/IP connection to any HTML5 browser. The browser user-agent can be anywhere in the world that an internet connection can be had as long as you have an open port you can define on your router to pass through to your RF server. This project evolved into four phases - first phase installing the code on an i5 multicore Ubuntu-based laptop. and configuring the system for a $30 V3 SDR hardware dongle, Second phase was to add an improved hardware SDR, one with tracking RF bandpass filters, larger sampling instead of an 8-bit width to a 12-bit ADC which gives improved RF dynamic range overload protection when the Airspy HF+ Discovery hardware SDR was added. Third phase was to move the RF server code to a Ras Pi 3. While this worked well for 1-2 online users, it was nowhere near the 15-20 simultaneous internet users I obtained with an i5 processor. The fourth phase was the port to a tiny, and very cute, Ras Pi Zero 2W. To give you some idea how cute, the optional metal housing comes with a lanyard so you can wear it around your neck!. Architecturally, the Zero Pi 2W, with its 4-cores, is software compatible to the Pi 3. All 4 phases will be shown during the presentation and the installation, configuration. and the detailed operational manual may be found at https://fms.komkon.org/OWRX/ Bio: The speaker, Joe Jesson, W2JEJ, co-founded & was CTO of a General Electric business, Asset Intelligence, a GE business which designed and sold remote IoT smart sensors for the logistics and energy sectors.

Abstract: This presentation is to be more than a list of all Al's significant accomplishments as an educator, microwave expert, electronics business owner, amateur radio and EME hobbyist ,but more of what I learned from Al as his friend who shared interest in many of his hobbies. It became clear to me over the 25+ years we were friends and colleagues, that Al's motivation was to have fun with EME (Earth-Moon-Earth) by counting microwave EME contacts made across the globe. EME contests drove both his theoretical and practical knowledge. This presentation attempts to explain Al's fascination with EME by presenting the technical opportunities and challenges of EME, and how this knowledge is connected with his Electromagnetics engineering classes and successful business ventures. Al's proudest moment: https://www.ok2kkw.com/next/eme1976wac.htm Connecting an approximate 60-year Amateur Radio hobby to becoming a microwave successful expert .....I was introduced to Al Katz in the 1960's through reading his microwave articles in CQ and QST, two amateur radio publications, while I was employed at Allen & Hurley,a commercial radio communications shop located in Trenton, NJ.. I moved to Chicago in 1970 and when Al co-created TCF in 1976, I would often fly back to NJ to attend TCF and visit Al, As soon as I received and accepted a job offer and move package from General Electric in Connecticut, I immediately was "drafted" by Al to be on his TCF steering committee, join his microwave-centered clubs - the SETI League and PACKRATS. Also, Al asked me to teach classes at TCNJ and provide research assistance for his microwave company, LTI while remaining my best friend.

MongoDB (its name is derived from "humongous") is an open-source, document-oriented, NoSQL database that provides high performance, high availability, and automatic scaling. It has become the leader in non-relational databases as Fortune 500 companies have been migrating to MongoDB among others. This presentation will be an introduction and overview of MongoDB. It will also demonstrate some basic CRUD operations (with some "mapping" to MySQL) on working MongoDB databases.
