Let's build mesh radios from scratch.We will bring 20 PCB kits, containing all parts. Soldering is difficult but doable in the Congress. You have to be very proficient with soldering to get this done during Congress, but the Eternal Soldering Workshop is open and nearby.We also have solder paste and stencils for the real pros!If you don't want to get into soldering now, you can take one of the kits home. During the workshop you will get to know everything necessary to get the job done.

Building Autonomy: Mesh Radio Hardware Workshop

Decentralized communication infrastructures require more than finished devices: understanding the hardware level enables critical engagement with proprietary designs and creates autonomy beyond commercial dependencies. The workshop covers complete assembly of an nRF52-based mesh node in Heltec form-factor, where participants gain practical comprehension of decentralized radio network architecture through soldering components, integrating LoRa modules, and installing firmware. Critical decentralization means not merely using distributed networks but mastering their technical foundations: building custom boards reveals trade-offs between energy efficiency, range, and cost, enables design adaptation to specific requirements, and develops capabilities for repairing and modifying existing infrastructure. Control over hardware design and firmware variants dissolves dependence on manufacturer decisions and permits experimental topologies that commercial solutions cannot accommodate. The workshop targets advanced participants with mesh operation experience, as technical fundamentals are prerequisite knowledge.

Prerequisites: Operational experience with mesh nodes (advanced)
Materials: PCB kits available, pricing will be announced
