@shawnhymel Good timing for #FabAcademy CAD week.
And since 2012 node for 
This is a Single Chanel LoRaWAN Gateway based on @seeedstudio XIAO ESP32S3 as host MCU and Wio-SX1262 chip.
I like the documentation #seeedstudio provides, although I have some issues with the configuration - configuring wireless network is buggy....

This discrete-event simulator mimics the radio section of the device software in order to understand its working. It can also be used to assess the performance of your scenario, or the scalability of the protocol.
A similar simulation in P5.js:https://editor.p5js.org/barryhunter/full/4Xt_fRf0W
Proud wearer of a new sticker! Lasercutter @waag is ready for #fabacademy 2025!
You still have a few days to register for the academy where you will learn to make (almost) anything.
Register at our node, one of the oldest fablabs in europe, in a fantastic location!
