We only had four people for most of tonights meeting, which is about half the size of the first meeting. We hope the low participation in tonights gathering was because the other people from the first meeting just couldnt make it to tonights meeting but are still interested and will be at future meetings.
About 2/3 of the way through the meeting, another person joined the group. He first had to find

I apologize to anyone who attempted to come to the meeting tonight and was locked out. To address the issue of the front door being automatically locked after 5:30 PM, for the next meeting (on June 12) we will:
- Put the wedge in the door to hold it open and write the meeting info on the laminated sign.
- Check on the door at 6:30 and 7:00 PM to make sure its still open.
- Put a Humboldt Microcontrollers Group meeting sign on the front door with a phone number of someone in the meeting to call if the door is locked.
We also might meet down in the front lobby area at the big round table. That way we can see the front door and know if it gets closed during the meeting.

For the June 12 meeting of the group, well be focusing on the #5 Blum video tutorial, which covers motors and transistors. If there are people new to microcontrollers at the meeting, a group will split off into a separate area to talk about the first Jeremy Blum Basics of Arduino videos. The more experienced people will cover breadboarding or other work they did on the topic of motors and transistors, as well as any specific exercises or questions they had from the #5 video.
Hope to see lots more people at the June 12 meeting, including anyone who was inadvertently locked out tonight...
