Physical NERP is actually remote NERP [COVID again, Jan 2022]

NERP is not exclusively Raspberry Pi, the small computer, embedded control, electronics, special, and general interest group at Pumping Station:One in Chicago.

NERP will meet on a Jitsi Meet videoconference at 7:20pm. A link to the conference will be posted to https://kineticsandelectronics.com/nerp-nite.txt at appx 7:00pm.
