Eric Floehr will present at February meeting.
Erin thinks she might have a presentation for the March meeting.
I think we have a presentation for the April meeting:
Jon would like to give an Arduino I/O boot camp presentation:
    crimping connectors
    switch input
    relay output (could control motor)
    pwm output to servo motor
    how about a variable knob input (potentiometer)?
        (that would be a good way to control servo)
