After three days of conference and talks, what better ways to wind out the day than to get together in a relaxed atmosphere and try to build some hardware?
This workshop is intended for beginners who want to learn how to build their own lora/meshtastic/meshcore/reticulum hardware. These little devices can be used to message each other and build a network utilizing only some small antennas without the need of internet or a phone network. Together, we will build our own solar powered outside LORA nodes that can be used with mesh software such as Meshtastic, Meshcore or Reticulum without the need of a power outlet. We will bring the required parts and an easy to follow "how to" manual. There will be little to no input but we want to create a cozy atmosphere to come together to learn, to solder and teach ourselfs how to create our own communication devices from scratch (well at least almost).
Each node will consist of a solar panel, a low power lora node, batteries, antennas and a few other parts so everything works together nicely.
There will be only a limited amount of seats available. Please come to the hardware hacking area an hour before this workshop starts to get the hardware (35€, cash preferred). This workshop is intended for beginners in Lora hardware and hardware hacking. Some previous soldering experience is helpful but not required.
