Arduino (https://arduino.cc), the maker of a collection of microcontroller hardware, is marking its 20th year with what has become an annual worldwide event, Arduino Days (formerly just one Arduino Day), this year on March 21-22, 2025. More information about the event can be seen on their website at https://days.arduino.cc/events which includes a world map of scheduled events which is being updated daily. At the time I’m posting this, February 26, 22 days before and counting down, there are already 97 events on the map. (UPDATE: 227 events as of March 21)

One of those events, already on the map, is an Arduino Days 2025 event I am putting together, titled Arduinos and Model Railroads. It will be a demonstration of a variety of my personal applications of Arduino-type processors being designed for applications in model railroads… as described extensively in this blog 😉. The location will take place on Saturday, March 22, 2025, in the corner courtyard of North Ashland Shopping Plaza in Ashland, Virginia, at the intersection of N Washington Highway (US 1) and England St. This location is also in front of the club space of the Richmond Area NTRAK group, a division of the Richmond Freelance & Prototype Model Railroaders. If weather does not cooperate, the demos will be held inside the club space. (There will be a sign.) The event will run from 12 noon until at least 4 PM that day.

The official address of the location is 233 N Washington Hwy, Ashland, VA 23005.

Also adding a poster for the event, kindly provided by Sonja at Tiny Tim’s Trains and Toys in Ashland. 😉
