Get a hands-on introduction to MeshCore and LoRa, the long-range radio technology behind small, low-power devices. The workshop is aimed at curious adults and young people aged 15 and up who are interested in electronics, IoT and communication technology, and no previous experience is needed.
You will first learn how mesh networking works and what MeshCore, a protocol for decentralised long-range communication, can be used for, from sensor monitoring to communication in areas without ordinary network coverage. Then you will set up a MeshCore companion node yourself and test it in practice by sending messages between devices placed in different spots in and around the building.
