W.A.V.E.S Workshop: A Journey into Embedded Systems in Munich
Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the W.A.V.E.S (Working with Advanced Variables and Embedded Systems) workshop, organized by EESTEC LC Munich, from November 10–15, 2024. Hosted at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the workshop provided an outstanding environment to learn, explore, and collaborate.
During this event, we delved into exciting topics, including:
- Hands-on experience with the Red Pitaya microcontroller.
- Working with various sensors such as the LYRA 24P Bluetooth module, LIS2DUXS12 motion sensor, and TEMP&HUM 24 Click for measuring temperature and humidity.
- Designing and implementing a PID controller to maintain a stable temperature at a predetermined level.
A highlight of the week was visiting the Electronica Fair, the leading trade fair for electronics, where we experienced cutting-edge innovations firsthand. During our visit, we explored:
- The Red Pitaya, where we deepened our understanding of the device and it's pontential applications.
- Analog Devices, where Simona Di Domenico guided us through their impressive display of groundbreaking sensors and technologies. A special thank-you to Simona and her team for her time, expertise, and enthusiasm in sharing Analog Devices' innovations.
- Many other companies showcasing innovations across diverse fields of electronics and engineering.
I am gradeful to Andraz Pirc and Žiga Agostini from Red Pitaya for their exceptional teaching and support throughout the workshop.
A special thanks to the fantastic organizing team — Christa Ward, @Rosa, and Tiemo Schmidt from LC Munich— for their warm hospitality and dedication to creating such a memorable experience.
Lastly, to all the participants: thank you for your collaboration and for making this journey so memorable. The connections I made and the knowledge I gained during this week will stay with me for years to come
