ATTENTION: Today's meeting is not in the usual location! We are supporting a presentation from one of our community members at the Chaostreff Bern on the topic of smart meters in Ostermundigen. You are welcome to join us there for an IoT/TTN related discussion. We will be back to Effinger next month.
📆 Thursday, April 25, 2024
⌚ 19:00 - open end
🏤 Kyburgstrasse 13 Effingerstrasse 10, Bern
🗣️ English, Deutsch, Français*
💰 Free as in beer**
Our regular meetups take place +/- monthly, usually at the back or Atelier of the Effinger Kaffeebar. Sometimes we invite our community to do a tour or take part in a Hacknight in the region of Bern. If you have good ideas for a future meet-up somewhere in the canton, please get in touch!
What do we do at our events? A local gateway will be available, along with some nodes and sensors for anyone who wants to try to build their first TTN application - if there are beginners present, we will do a brief introduction. We will check the status of nearby gateways, show you how to update TTN Mapper (optionally going for a short walk to collect data), share the latest news in Open Hardware, takeaways from community workshops and conferences for a comfy show & share and friendly chitchat.
* If you speak another language, please bring a payload formatter ;-)
** There is no cover charge, but you are welcome to buy a round.
What is TTN all about?
The TTN Bern meetup is a regular occasion to build a free radio network for Internet of Things (IoT) projects in the Bern area. We use the open source technology stack provided by The Things Network (TTN) to run LoRaWAN gateways for communications, usually with sensor nodes, and aim to create new IoT applications together. Our local group is made up of passionate amateurs and professionals who believe in and uphold the responsible use of open networks.
