Hardware, Robotics & IoT Events in Europe
Hardware, robotics, and IoT events in Europe run a wider range than most categories, from evening workshops where beginners solder their first ESP32 weather station to week-long industrial trade shows. On one end sit the big anchor conferences: Embedded World in Nuremberg (probably the largest event of its kind in the world), Hannovermesse, Battery Tech Expo, Quantum Industry Day, IoT Tech Expo. On the other end sit the community workshops: 3D printing for beginners, laser-cutter training, drone filming workshops, Raspberry Pi and Arduino club nights, microbial fuel cell experiments, and the long tail of fab-lab and makerspace sessions that introduce new people to the tools.
Topics include firmware development (Rust on embedded, Zephyr, FreeRTOS), hardware design and prototyping (KiCad, EDA tools), robotics (ROS user groups, hobbyist and industrial robotics, drones), 3D printing and CNC communities, the RISC-V ecosystem, sensor networks and LPWAN (LoRa, NB-IoT), industrial IoT, broadcast and video-over-IP engineering (SMPTE ST-2110), energy and battery tech, and the growing "physical AI" conversation that bridges robotics with ML. Kids-focused robotics series also run regularly in Italy and elsewhere.
Berlin, Munich, Zurich, Delft, Eindhoven, Grenoble, and the Nordic capitals are strong hubs, but the community-workshop layer spreads much further. Ireland, Italy, Austria, and Belgium all run active calendars. Brainberg aggregates this broad range, so you can see the full European schedule, from evening Arduino sessions to week-long industrial trade shows.

Taller de Meshtastic para Makers – Comunicarse cuando todo falla
Cala de Bou, 🇪🇸 Spain
📡 ¿Y si pudiéramos seguir comunicándonos cuando no hay Internet ni cobertura móvil?
Este taller se realizará como una actividad más del Ibiza Makers Experience 2026, que reunirá en Ibiza a makers, aficionados a la tecnología y personas con ganas de aprender, experimentar y construir.
Meshtastic es una plataforma de comunicación libre y de código abierto que utiliza radio LoRa para crear redes malladas (mesh) independientes de Internet y de las redes de telefonía móvil.
Estas redes permiten intercambiar mensajes y datos directamente entre dispositivos, incluso en lugares sin cobertura, sin necesidad de operadores ni de una infraestructura centralizada. Cada nodo puede comunicarse con otros nodos y ayudar a que la información viaje a través de la red.
Y para conocer esta tecnología, vamos a hacerlo como más nos gusta a los makers: construyendo y experimentando. 🔧😊
El objetivo será que los participantes conozcan los fundamentos de una red Meshtastic y aprendan a montar diferentes tipos de nodos, instalar su firmware, configurarlos y utilizarlos para enviar mensajes y datos.
La agenda que hemos preparado incluye:
- 📡 ¿Qué es Meshtastic y cómo funciona una red Mesh?
Conoceremos los fundamentos de Meshtastic, LoRa y las comunicaciones malladas, además del estado actual de la red Meshtastic en Illes Balears. - 🔧 ¿Qué tiene un nodo y cómo podemos fabricarlo?
Abriremos la caja para conocer todos sus componentes: microcontrolador, radio LoRa, antena, batería, electrónica, GPS, sensores y piezas fabricadas mediante impresión 3D. - 🛠️ Montaje, instalación y configuración de diferentes nodos
Trabajaremos de forma práctica con distintos dispositivos y diseños:
- Heltec V3
- SenseCAP T1000-E
- Albastastic PRO
- Albastastic Compact
- XIAO ESP32S3
Veremos cómo instalar Meshtastic, actualizar el firmware, configurar los parámetros básicos y poner cada nodo en funcionamiento.
4. 📶 ¡Ponemos la red a prueba!
Realizaremos pruebas reales de comunicación entre los nodos para comprobar su alcance, el envío de mensajes y cómo estos pueden propagarse a través de una red mesh.
5. 🌍 Apadrina un nodo
Terminaremos planteando diferentes propuestas de apadrinamiento e instalación de nodos que permitan ampliar y mejorar la cobertura de la red Meshtastic en Ibiza y el resto de Illes Balears.
💻 Importante: si puedes, trae tu ordenador portátil. Así podrás instalar las herramientas necesarias, configurar los dispositivos y llevártelo todo preparado para seguir experimentando después del taller.
No es necesario tener experiencia previa con Meshtastic, LoRa o electrónica. Solo ganas de aprender, cacharrear y comunicarte cuando todo lo demás falla.
📡 🔧 ¡Nos vemos en Ibiza Makers Experience 2026!

öbu Backstage bei KYBURZ Switzerland AG
Embrach, 🇨🇭 Switzerland
Mit der Reihe öbu Backstage besuchen wir mehrmals im Jahr Mitgliedsunternehmen und werfen einen Blick hinter die Kulissen.
Am Mittwoch, 11. November 2026, lädt öbu zum Firmenbesuch bei unserem Mitglied KYBURZ Switzerland AG in Embrach ein. Erlebe vor Ort, wie einer der grössten Schweizer Hersteller von Elektrofahrzeugen Nachhaltigkeit konkret umsetzt, von der Fahrzeugentwicklung über die Produktion bis zum Recycling der Batterien.
KYBURZ ist bekannt vor allem durch die gelben Dreirad-Zustellfahrzeuge für Postorganisationen im In- und Ausland. Nachhaltigkeit ist dabei Teil des Geschäftsmodells: Mit dem MultiLife-Konzept durchlaufen die Batterien mehrere Leben, ausgediente Fahrzeuge werden zu vollwertigen 2ndLife-Fahrzeugen aufbereitet, und in der gemeinsam mit der Empa entwickelten Recyclinganlage gewinnt KYBURZ nach eigenen Angaben bis zu 91 Prozent der Batterie-Rohstoffe zurück, ohne Einsatz von Chemikalien. Das Verfahren hat das Unternehmen bewusst nicht patentiert, sondern offen zugänglich gemacht.
Was du mitnimmst: Konkrete Einblicke, wie sich Kreislaufwirtschaft, Ressourcennutzung und Lieferketten im Produktionsalltag umsetzen lassen, weit über die Elektromobilität hinaus.
Was dich erwartetZum Auftakt gibt CEO Dr. Stefan Breu Einblick in das Unternehmen und die Nachhaltigkeitsreise von KYBURZ. Anschliessend führt dich ein Rundgang durch den Betrieb, bei dem du Produktion, Prozesse und den Kreislaufgedanken hautnah erlebst. Und weil sich Elektromobilität am besten selbst erfährt, testest du die Fahrzeuge bei einer Probefahrt gleich persönlich. Zum Abschluss bleibt bei einem Erfrischungsgetränk Zeit für den Austausch mit Fachpersonen und das Netzwerken.

Our Friends Electric - Software and Electronics Social (and Public Open Night)
Birmingham, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
The second Wednesday of every month is now a software and microelectronics social as well as our usual public open night - a great opportunity to muck about with like-minded hackers to discuss electronics projects, bounce ideas off each other for your latest coding challenge, or just to pop down and ask for some help getting started!
Everyone welcome - from beginners to advanced. Come talk to us about your home automation projects, bring your empty breadboard to be filled with ideas, or bring your stories of projects past. Ask for some help mastering a programming language - or find out you're the relative expert in the room, and offer others light instructionals* on the subject. Bring your Python, your JavaScript, your Go and your Rust - or regale us with C/C++ and 6502 Assembly. Your Robot Vacuum or your blinkenlights, your Raspberry Pi's, your Arduinos, your ESP32s..
fizzPOP has a well-stocked electronics room and some great spaces to crack out your laptop, so if you're not a member then this is a great time to pop down and check it out - and if you are a member, this is a great chance to get cracking with all the tools and equipment.
See you there!
*we have some very helpful members, and welcome people of all skill levels - but this is not an organised event, we cannot commit to formal teaching, and we probably won't build your project for you (yes, people have asked)! This is a themed social event; please calibrate your expectations accordingly, and look forward to a great night!

Azure IoT Operations & Fabric apps - Sander van de Velde
Azure IoT Operations and Fabric app, living together in electric dreams - Sander Van de Velde
In the 1980s synth-pop hit "Together in Electric Dreams," the lyrics tell of a connection that transcends physical distance through a shared vision. Today’s industrial landscape faces a similar challenge: Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) have long been "miles apart," separated by legacy protocols and data silos. This presentation demonstrates how Microsoft’s ecosystem finally brings these worlds into perfect sync.
The journey begins at the edge with Azure IoT Operations. By leveraging Azure Arc-enabled services, we synchronise chaotic data from industrial protocols into a clean, unified stream. This creates the "Electric Dream", a digital heartbeat of the factory that is consistent, scalable, and cloud-ready.
Once the data flows, we transition to Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Intelligence (RTI). If IoT Operations is the nervous system, Fabric RTI is the brain. We explore how the Real-Time Hub captures high-frequency events using KQL (Kusto Query Language) and visualizes them.
Finally, Microsoft Fabric Apps is introduced as a pro-code layer for visualizations and taking action. This way, we can go beyond what Fabric offers for end users and citizen developers.
By the end of this session, attendees will see that through edge connectivity, IT and OT will "always be together" in a seamless, electric dream of operational excellence.
This session is for data professionals, architects, and Fabric enthusiasts who want to see how Real-Time Intelligence becomes truly powerful when streaming analytics, vibe coding, and business context come together.
Our Speaker:
Sander Van de Velde:

Mobile Robots #14 – Startups & Makers
Nuremberg, 🇩🇪 Germany
A robotics startup, a maker project, pizza, drinks - and plenty of time to talk robots 🤖🍕
For this edition, we're bringing together talks with two different backgrounds: a startup building autonomous systems, and a hacker/maker showing what you can build when you just start experimenting!
We'll be hosted by codecentric, who are also taking care of pizza and drinks for the evening!
What's on the menu?
1️⃣ Building Autonomy at Nouma
Speakers: Leon Seidel, CTO & Christopher May, CEO - Nouma Autonomy
Leon and Christopher will give us a look at what Nouma is building, why they started the company, and where they want to take it.
The main part will be technical: we'll dig into the systems, software, and engineering behind their approach to autonomous robotics. But we'll also hear some of the startup story around it - what problem they're solving, where they see the market going, and what's next for Nouma.
A good chance to see both sides of building a robotics company: the technology and the business around it.
2️⃣ Robotics from the Maker Side
Speaker: Karim Kohel - karimkohel.com
For the second talk, we're switching gears completely.
Karim will bring along one of his maker projects and show us what he's been building, how it works, and what he learned along the way.
No startup pitch, no big industrial system - just hands-on engineering, experimentation, and the kind of project that usually starts with: "I wonder if I can build this..."
Startup meets hacker/maker - which feels like a pretty good combination for a robotics meetup.
⏰ Agenda
- 18:00 - Doors open
- 18:30 - Welcome & intro
- 18:45 - Talk: Nouma Autonomy
- 19:45 - Maker Project with Karim Kohel
- 20:30 - Open networking, drinks & robotics talk
- 21:30 - Wrap-up

Have you ever wondered what the tall masts at Wychbold, near Drotiwich are or were used for? They are visible for miles around, especially on clear nights when the red aircraft warning lights on them are clearly visible. If so, then come to hear about their history. As a little background, the site was a transmitting station for both medium and long wave radio for much of the last 100years. They provided coverage across a large area of the country so many generations of radio listeners would have depended on their broadcasts, prior to the use of VHF radio.
Speaker:
David Porter
Radio engineer
Dave Porter G4OYX joined the BBC Transmitter Dept as an 18 year old Technical Assistant in 1970 and after training at Evesham and Daventry continued there for a further two years transferring to Droitwich Transmitter in 1972.
After qualifying as an Engineer in 1974, the next station was Washford in Somerset followed by a spell in TV Transmitters at Holme Moss. Then in 1975 a return to radio at Westerglen in Scotland and then a permanent base at Daventry.
After marrying the Station Cook at Daventry we both went to Brookmans Park in Hertfordshire just 18 months before the MF frequency changes in November 1978.
As is often the case modernisation results in automation so a move to the BBC-operated "Voice of America HF Relay Station in the UK" at Woofferton was made in 1982.
30 years later I retired only to return some 11 years later in 2023 for 18 months to supervise the removal of a Marconi 250 kW HF sender from 1963 and installation of a Riz 250 kW sender from 2009 transferred in from the BBC Singapore HF relay upon its closure.
Our son Matt is now a Transmitter Engineer at what is now Encompass Woofferton having been an Installation Technician there in 2008 for 22 months after University.

Allen & Heath Live Mixing Lab
Burgebrach, 🇩🇪 Germany
SQ+, Avantis & dLive – From Soundcheck to Showtime +++Melde dich an und erhalte einen 50€ Thomann Gutschein vor Ort+++
Allen & Heath Live Mixing Lab
SQ+, Avantis & dLive – From Soundcheck to Showtime
17. & 18. November 10:00 bis 17:00 Uhr (09:30 Uhr Get In)
Zielgruppe:
Der Workshop richtet sich an Live-Tontechniker, Verleiher, Systemtechniker sowie ambitionierte Bands, Kirchen-, Event- und Haustechniker. Egal ob du bereits mit Allen & Heath arbeitest oder über einen Umstieg nachdenkst – hier bist du richtig.
Teilnehmerzahl
Maximal 20 Teilnehmer, damit genügend Zeit für Fragen, Diskussionen und vor allem fürs Arbeiten an der Konsole bleibt.
Zwei Tage Live-Mixing mit einem klaren Ziel: weniger trockene Theorie, sondern gemeinsam neue Ideen, Sichtweisen und Workflows entwickeln – und das Gelernte direkt an der Konsole ausprobieren.
Das Workshop-Konzept ist bewusst anders aufgebaut als eine klassische Produktschulung. Wir starten jedes Thema gemeinsam im Plenum, zeigen unsere Herangehensweise, diskutieren verschiedene Lösungsansätze und erklären die Hintergründe. Danach geht's direkt an die Konsolen. Dort kannst du alles selbst ausprobieren, Fragen stellen, experimentieren und deinen eigenen Workflow entwickeln.
Uns geht es nicht darum, dass am Ende alle exakt gleich arbeiten. Viel spannender ist der Austausch unterschiedlicher Denkweisen und Erfahrungen – denn genau daraus entstehen oft die besten Ideen für den nächsten Job.
Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Konsolen SQ+, Avantis und dLive – vom ersten Showfile bis zum fertigen Mix.
Das erwartet dich
- Showfiles sinnvoll aufbauen statt einfach drauflos patchen
- Strukturierte Workflows, die im Live-Alltag wirklich funktionieren
- Gain, EQ, Kompression und Effekte praxisnah einsetzen
- Schneller an der Konsole werden
- Avantis und dLive optimal auf den eigenen Workflow anpassen
- Multitracks mischen, ausprobieren und vergleichen
- Jede Menge Zeit zum Diskutieren, Testen und Fragen stellen
Agenda
Tag 1 – Von SQ+ bis Avantis: Showfile & Mixing
Mit Sascha Kohl und Daniel Lauer
Vormittag
- Begrüßung
- Kurzüberblick über das Allen & Heath Portfolio
- Wo liegen die Unterschiede zwischen SQ+, Avantis und dLive?
- Stageboxen, Karten und Expander – was passt eigentlich womit zusammen?
- Was bringen Features wie dPack, IP Controller oder Custom Control?
- Wie baue ich ein Showfile sinnvoll auf?
- Patch-Struktur, Farben, Layouts, DCAs, Mute Groups und Bus-Strukturen
Praxisblock 1
Jetzt seid ihr dran.
Ihr bekommt eine Konsole, eine Bandliste und einen Zeitplan. Eure Aufgabe: Baut ein sauberes, arbeitsfähiges FOH-Showfile auf. Kein Demo-Klicken, sondern genau so, wie ihr es auf einer echten Produktion machen würdet.
Nachmittag
Jetzt geht's ans Mischen.
- Gain-Struktur und Headamp-Workflow
- HPF, EQ, Gate und Kompressor sinnvoll einsetzen
- Drums, Bass, Gitarren, Keys und Vocals strukturiert aufbauen
- Effekte einsetzen, die den Mix wirklich nach vorne bringen
Praxisblock 2
Einfach mal mischen.
Mit hochwertigen Multitracks kannst du in Ruhe ausprobieren, vergleichen und experimentieren. Welcher Kompressor passt wann? Was bringt Parallelkompression? Wo liegen die Grenzen? Genau dafür nehmen wir uns Zeit.
Abschluss Tag 1
Gemeinsam schauen wir auf den Tag zurück. Was hat gut funktioniert? Welche Fragen sind offen geblieben? Welche Aha-Momente gab es? Und natürlich diskutieren wir auch unterschiedliche Lösungsansätze.
Tag 2 – Avantis & dLive: Workflow & Showtime
Mit Sascha Kohl oder Daniel Lauer
Vormittag
Heute holen wir aus Avantis und dLive alles raus.
- Konsolenlayouts sinnvoll gestalten
- Mit mehreren Screens und Layern arbeiten
- SoftKeys und Rotaries so belegen, dass sie zu deinem Workflow passen
- Die Konsole so vorbereiten, dass du im Livebetrieb möglichst wenig suchen musst
Praxisblock 3
Jeder richtet sich eine Konsole so ein, wie er später auch arbeiten möchte. Layouts ausprobieren, SoftKeys testen und herausfinden, welche Plattform am besten zum eigenen Workflow passt.
Nachmittag
Jetzt geht's um Geschwindigkeit.
Denn je weniger Zeit du für Standardaufgaben brauchst, desto mehr Zeit bleibt für das, was wirklich zählt: den Mix.
Wir schauen uns unter anderem an:
- A/B/C/D Inputs
- Channel- und Mix Libraries
- DCA- und MCA-Workflows
- Group-to-Group Routing
- Copy, Paste und Reset
- Szenenmanagement – einfacher als viele denken
Praxisblock 4
Zum Schluss wird's sportlich.
Eine kleine Challenge zeigt, wie schnell du inzwischen an der Konsole arbeitest. Natürlich steht der Spaß im Vordergrund – aber ein kleiner Anreiz schadet nie.
Abschluss
Zum Abschluss tauschen wir unsere Erfahrungen aus, sammeln die größten Aha-Momente und beantworten die letzten offenen Fragen.
Bring deine eigene Konsole und Kopfhörer mit!
Du möchtest mit deiner eigenen SQ(+), Avantis oder dLive arbeiten? Sehr gerne! Bring sie einfach mit und setze die Inhalte des Workshops direkt auf deinem eigenen System um. So nimmst du nicht nur neues Wissen mit nach Hause, sondern auch einen Workflow, der wirklich zu dir passt
