SUMMARY:Port Townsend Web Developers Meetup #90: Raspberry Pi Programmable 
 I/O
DESCRIPTION:The Port Townsend Web Developers meetup is back online after a 
 holiday hiatus\, and we’ve got a great presentation coming up! Next Mond
 ay 1/26\, local hardware guru Robin Hodgson will talk about Programmable I
 /O (PIO). What is PIO you may ask? Here’s how Robin describes it: “The
  RP2040 processor in the Raspberry Pi Pico introduced the notion of PIO (P
 rogrammable I/O) blocks. Each PIO block is a collection of up to 4 tiny\, 
 deterministic programmable state machines\, operating independently or in 
 coordination with each other. PIO processors have their own simple instruc
 tion set\, their own tiny instruction and data memories\, but most importa
 ntly\, their own programmable connections to the outside world. Their supe
 rpower is performing custom high-speed IO operations with precise timing\,
  operating completely independently of the CPU cores. We will take a look 
 at what they do\, how to include them in your code\, and some of the weird
  and wonderful things that people are doing with them.” If that sounds i
 nteresting\, come join us at the General HydroStatics building on the sout
 h side of the Rainer Street roundabout at 5:30pm on Monday January 26 for 
 the talk. We’ll have pizza and beverages on hand and time to catch up wi
 th your fellow PTWDers afterward. Sponsored by group members and Harmonic
