CARPE on CARPE — Columbus Arduino & Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts

September Meeting — Open forum & show your project

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 18:30:00 -0400

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow makers for a night of creativity and collaboration.

This session is open forum — share whatever you’re working on. Complete or in progress, it’s all interesting. Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, chasing a new idea, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired.

New to electronics, or just curious about tinkering? You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner who wants to experiment, we’ll have a couple of starter kits on hand so you can try things out — blink your first LED, put something on a display, or play with a few simple sensors. No pressure, no experience required — just an interest in learning and building.

About CARPE

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

CARPE — the Columbus Arduino & Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts — is an informal group of makers, hobbyists, and curious tinkerers in central Ohio. We meet in person twice a month to build things, show off projects, swap ideas, and help each other get unstuck.

The name doubles as our motto:

Creative · Applied · Retro · Pi & Edge

Who it’s for
#

Everyone. Total beginners who’ve never plugged in a breadboard are just as welcome as folks who’ve been soldering since the ’70s. If you like making things with small, cheap, powerful hardware — or you’re just curious what’s possible — you belong here.

FAQ

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Do I need any experience?
#

Nope. Complete beginners are genuinely welcome — a lot of us love helping people get started. Curiosity is the only prerequisite.

What does it cost?
#

Nothing. There’s no membership, no dues, and no registration. Just show up.

What should I bring?
#

Just yourself. If you have a project you’re working on, bring it — finished or not. A laptop can be handy if you want to tinker, but it’s optional.

If it blinks, beeps, senses, moves, or computes, someone here is probably into it. A sampling of what turns up at meetings:

Microcontrollers
#

Arduino, ESP32, RP2040, STM32 — the little brains behind most projects. Reading inputs, driving outputs, and talking to the world over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Single-Board Computers
#

Raspberry Pi and friends — full Linux machines for home servers, media boxes, camera rigs, retro emulation, and anything that needs more horsepower than a microcontroller.
