LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is becoming increasingly popular, thanks in part to public networks such as The Things Network, which allow users to dispense with their own gateways. LoRaWAN also promises potential in terms of range and energy efficiency. But how does the standard perform in practice?
The aim of the presentation is to shed light on the technical background and demonstrate how practicable LoRa is in the field using real tests. It will be shown how the standard behaves in urban and rural areas, how differences in height of the gateway and different antennas influence the transmission quality.
LoRaWAN in Theorie und Praxis: Ein Ausflug durch München
LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) erfreut sich wachsender Beliebtheit, dazu tragen unter anderem öffentliche Netzwerke wie The Things Network bei, die ermöglichen, auf eigene Gateways zu verzichten. Potenzial verspricht LoRaWAN auch in den Punkten der Reichweite und Energieeffizienz. Aber wie verhält sich der Standard in der Praxis?
Ziel des Vortrags ist es, die technischen Hintergründe zu beleuchten und an realen Versuchen zu demonstrieren, wie praktikabel LoRa im Feldeinsatz ist. Es soll gezeigt werden, wie sich der Standard im urbanen und ländlichen Raum verhält, wie Höhenunterschiede des Gateways und unterschiedliche Antennen die Sendequalität beeinflussen.

A Gentle Power Off for ZEReader: Replacing the Hard Switch with a Latching Power Circuit

With the second revision, the way ZEReader is turned on and off got a massive redesign.
The hard on/off switch in the first revision was dead simple and worked great—with one big flaw from a user’s perspective. You could not recognize if the reader was on or off on the first sight. The old switch just closed or opened the loop with the power supply, and due to the E-Paper display just holding the state, you had no chance to tell.
Besides, there was no possibility at all to implement some kind of graceful shutdown mechanism, which would allow me to save all important state information and show a clear device off indicator.
This situation was totally fine for the very first prototype, but it started to get annoying very soon. A new approach was needed!

Building a Yocto Pipeline with KAS, GitHub Actions and AWS

Using KAS makes handling Yocto Projects easy. By shipping its own container with all needed dependencies, building sophisticated CI pipelines becomes pretty easy - in theory, or when using Gitlab.
But using GitHub as a code hosting platform with self-managed Action runners on AWS comes with a set of unexpected challenges.
Anna-Lena will talk about her quest through GitHub Actions, the Cloud and how to tame them.
The talk aims to point the audience to the obstacles when building CI pipelines for the Yocto Project with KAS, GitHub Actions, and custom action runners on AWS and strategies to handle them.

The ZEReader Project - Adopting Agile and Software-First Methods in Open Hardware

The ZEReader project is an open-source E-Reader that originated as an electrical engineering thesis. As a hobbyist project, it faces the typical rigidity of hardware iteration. To manage this, I applied an agile, software-first methodology, leveraging my background as an embedded systems developer. Instead of writing drivers for fixed hardware, I utilized the Zephyr driver ecosystem to let software requirements define component choices. This inverted approach enabled rapid proof-of-concept testing before committing to physical designs.
