Sorry dtothill this is a couple of weeks late. Doesn't seem like I was subscribed to the thread for some odd reason
Not sure I've seen enough interest for hosting a meetup. There are already few groups that have a few arduino/rpi/embedded enthusiast in their midst
however, Concentrated interest a local area in more of the issue. More than finding a venue, I already have a couple of places in mind where I have contacts.
Something I didn't mention in the previous post.
Most wednesdays at lunch there is a geek lunch at an eatery somewhere around elm st - Facebook
For instance tomorrow at the farm
If anyone wants to get in touch just pm me here or DM me @inof8or on twitter
I would love to help someone getting started or talk about my open source JesterType project- GitHub - PaulBeaudet/JesterType: Gesture based keying / HID device that using Arduino with boards capable of acting as HID such as the Leonardo, Micro and USB Lillypad. This was my first real programming project it exist on github for reference purposes. See Tenkey for a more up to date iteration of most functionality
