Building electronics has never been easier, cheaper, or more accessible than the last few years. It's also becoming a precious skill in a world where commercially made electronics are the latest victim of enshittification and vibe coding. And yet, while removing technical and financial barriers to building things, we've not come as far as we should have in removing social barriers. The electronics and engineering industry and the cultures around them are hostile to newcomers and self-taught practitioners, for no good reason at all. I've been teaching advanced electronics manufacturing skills to absolute beginners for a decade now, and they've consistently succeeded at acquiring them. I'm here to tell you why it's not as hard as it seems, how to get into it, and why more people who think they can't should try.

Despite how widely used the ESP32 is, its Bluetooth stack remains closed source. Let’s dive into the low-level workings of a proprietary Bluetooth peripheral. Whether you are interested in reverse engineering, Bluetooth security, or just enjoy poking at undocumented hardware, this talk may inspire you to dig deeper.

Almost everyone has a household appliance at home, whether it's a washing machine, dishwasher, or dryer. Despite their ubiquity, little is publicly documented about how these devices actually work or how their internal components communicate. This talk takes a closer look at proprietary bus systems, hidden diagnostic interfaces, and approaches to cloud-less integration of appliances from two well-known manufacturers into modern home automation systems.

With PTP 1588, AES67, and SMPTE 2110, we can transmit synchronous audio and video with sub-millisecond latency over the asynchronous medium Ethernet. But how do you make hundreds of devices agree on the exact same nanosecond on a medium that was never meant to care about time? Precision Time Protocol (IEEE 1588) tries to do just that. It's the invisible backbone of realtime media standards like AES67 and SMPTE 2110, proprietary technologies such as Dante, and even critical systems powering high-frequency trading, cellular networks, and electric grids.

Presenting FEX, a translation layer to run x86 apps and games on ARM devices: Learn why x86 is such a pain to emulate, what tricks and techniques make your games fly with minimal translation overhead, and how we are seamless enough that you'll forget what CPU you're using in the first place!

This project transforms a classic rotary phone into a mobile device. Previous talks have analyzed various aspects of analogue phone technology, such as rotary pulse detection or ringing voltage generation. Now this project helps you get rid of the cable: it equips the classic German FeTAp 611 with battery power and a flyback SMPS based ringing voltage generator - but still maintains the classical look and feel. The talk demonstrates the journey of bridging analog and digital worlds, explaining how careful design connects a vintage phone to today’s mobile environment - in a way that will make your grandparents happy.

A 595€ wheelchair remote that sends a handful of Bluetooth commands. A 99.99€ app feature that does exactly what the 595€ hardware does. A speed upgrade from 6 to 8.5 km/h locked behind a 99.99€ paywall - because apparently catching the bus is a premium feature. Welcome to the wonderful world of DRM in assistive devices, where already expensive basic mobility costs extra and comes with in-app purchases! And because hackers gonna hack, this just could not be left alone.

Ein geschlossener Kreislauf aus Klang und Störung. Kein Instrument, kein Ursprung, nur das Rauschen, das sich selbst gebiert. Frequenzen kratzen an der Grenze zum Bewusstsein, Feedback wird zum Atem einer Maschine ohne Körper. Aus dem Dunkel des Signals erhebt sich ein sirrendes Mantra — chaotisch, unheilig, autark. Eine Beschwörung der Leere durch elektrische Selbstzerstörung.
tippel radio
Das "tipple radio" ist eine Collage von Singer-Songwriter-Konzert und szenischer Lesung. Es trägt gecoverte und selbstgeschriebene Songs und Medleys von Punk über Hamburger Schule bis Schlager mit Gitarre und Gesang vor und verknüpft die Inhalte der Songs miteinander. Es entsteht ein Geflecht von Musik und Text, dass Aufbrüche in Abgründen aufzeigt und Hoffnung macht sich gegen die Faschisierung in der Gesellschaft zusammen zu schließen.

All styles Punk from hc, grunge and garage to indie, pop and post, female fronted only.
Einschiss
Einschiss ist DER Ausnahmekünstler zwischen den Stationen Paracelsus Bad und Rathaus Reinickendorf der U8. Gefangen im Körper eines Mannes mit Charaktermodell German_default_3_bearded.obj macht Einschiss Musik gegen die Dinge die nerven: Nazis, Arbeit und Consent Forms (und Arbeit). Dabei setzt er modernste Technologien ein, um einen Typen so klingen zu lassen, als wäre es ein Typ mit Backing Track. Für mehr Musiker:innen hat das Bier nicht gereicht. Sorry.

Man muss nichts können. Mit charmanter Anleitung manövrieren wir uns zusammen durch kollektive Dissonanzen!
Katja Ruge
„Planetary Visions“ with Katja Ruge (Can Love Be Synth/Synthesizerstudio HH, Electric Lights/Planetarium HH) Katja Ruge’s DJ sets are a seamless fusion of Italo, New Wave, Cosmic Sounds, 80s, Dark Disco, and Electro.
RSS Disco
From crackling Kraut and Disco records to hyper produced Techno tracks - dance music has come a long way in the last six decades, and was always strongly influenced by evolving technology. Dance music’s history is a feedback system between culture and circuitry. Each new invention—from the disco subwoofer to today’s neural-driven mastering tools—reshapes sound itself. RSS Disco’s timeline approach celebrates this continuum: a story of machines learning to groove, and humans learning to listen differently through them.
Steve
Als Part der ToxicFamily, die seit mittlerweile 25 Jahren Label, elektronisches Magazin, Veranstalter und einfach eine Institution in Frankfurt ist, fördert Steve, der übrigens einer der dienstältesten Residents des Tanzhaus West in Frankfurt ist, aktiv die Frankfurter Underground Clubszene und vor allem den Nachwuchs. Ob es ein Gig bei der Toxic Family Radio Show im lokalen FM Radio ist, ein CDJ Lehrgang oder einfach nur aufmunterte Worte während eines Sets - viele Frankfurter DJs haben eine Geschichte über Steve zu erzählen. Wenn Steve House Musik spielt, sieht man oft DJ Kollegen mit gespitzen Ohren an der Bar stehen - oder auch mal mitten auf der Tanzfläche - weil das Barpersonal selbst auf der Theke tanzt.

Festnacht
Festnacht is a fixture in Hamburg’s music scene. Together with L.F.T., he has steered the Neoprimitive label and event series for nearly a decade, releasing a broad range of mostly experimental electronic music from artists like Rosaceae, Children of Leir, and Alobhe, and inviting names such as Skee Mask, Anthony Rother, Bloody Mary, and Interstellar Funk to the iconic Golden Pudel Club. His DJ sets span the spectrum of Detroit-rooted techno and electro - always unpredictable, shaped by the night’s energy, and known for his skill in slowly and subtly warming up a room.

Afidissima & Alice
Afidissima and Alice, two millennial stereotypes sharing music tips as emotional currency. Gabby radio host Afidissima delivers genre-chaotic sets drenched in dubby vibes and oozing with groove. A relentless cratedigger with questionable priorities. Alice unites musical moments and moods that refuse to be united. Seductive, whimsical, followed by familiar paths, so as not to upset the ear and inner balance. Mixed feelings becoming multiple emotions. Everything as usual – just enhanced momentum.

The Uncontrolled Manifold works with electronics and machines that possess autonomy and obstinacy. These machines are brought into interaction with each other, creating danceable polyrhythms and, at the same time, a fascinating shadow play, because the machines are mounted on an overhead projector and their interaction is projected. Analog oscillators generate self-organizing coordination dynamics and organic patterns, while motors strike rubber strings producing deep, resonant bass sounds reminiscent of shamanic drumming. Supported by the visuals spectators may feel like being dragged into the vortex of a living clock, compelled to join the performance through movement and dance.
