  Talk:  Inexpensive System-On-a-Chip devices have radically changed the application of digital signal processing to common problems.  The Raspberry Pi has now become the third most prevalent general purpose computer (after the PC and Apple devices) in the world. It can also be used to implement instruments and serve as a system integration device. Tom will discuss what you need to produce a product or a device for home use.  In particular, he will demonstrate several audio devices, the Raspberry Pi 3 and Pi Zero devices, and a RaspberrryPi controlled robot (Turtlebot 3) running ROS.
  
  A second speaker will discuss how to use the Pi Zero in a low-power, battery operated use for biomedical applications. Dennis Bahr has simplified the process of adding code to the Raspberry Pi family utilizing a fast booting, "bare metal" format instead of a version of Linux.
  
  Speaker(s):  Tom Kaminski is a retired instructor of Automation from Madison College. He has been working on using SoCs to solve system integration problems for years and has several products using SoCs under development, including a Sonic Boom recorder for use by NASA.
  
  Dennis Bahr, PhD, VP of R&D at HelionX, LLC has a long history of Research and Develoment in Biomedical systems.  is the founder and president of Bahr Management, Inc., a company that develops and helps bring to market innovative medical devices for use in the cardiovascular, trauma, life support, and surgical markets. He also spends time doing research, such as designing new technologies, developing new mathematical algorithms, and doing computer based modeling. Dennis enjoys being involved with Science, especially developing new ideas and theories. One great enjoyment is developing new mathematical methods and algorithms to solve complex problems that people have said couldn't be solved.
