Following the success of the session at last year\u2019s RSGB Convention, we\u2019re delighted to be repeating it at Norbreck Castle Hotel, the day before the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/narsa.org.uk\/\">NARSA Rally<\/a><\/strong>. So why not make a weekend of it?<\/h4>\n<h4>The six-hour workshop, run by RSGB Board Directors Stewart Bryant, G3YSX and Mark Jones, G0MGX is intended for RSGB members who already have a basic knowledge of Arduino programming. Attendees will learn how to control and program a Direct Digital Synthesizer using a microcontroller and will use this to generate RF. As well as covering the maths behind the programming process, attendees will also gain an insight into vibe coding.<\/h4>\n<h4>So, if 2026 is the year you want to develop your programming skills, this is the event for you!
