SUSE Prague claw machine
Project Description
The idea is to build a claw machine similar to e.g. this one:
Why? Well, it could be a lot of fun!
But also it's a great way to dispense SUSE and openSUSE merch like little Geekos at events like conferences, career fairs and open house events.
Goal for this Hackweek
Build an arcade claw machine.

We're looking for handy/crafty people in the Prague office:
- woodworking XP or equipment
- arduino/raspi embedded programming knowledge
- Anthony can find a budget for going to GM and buying servos and such ;)

Creating test suite using LLM on existing codebase of a solar router by fcrozat
Description
Two years ago, I evaluated solar routers as part of hackweek24, I've assembled one and it is running almost smoothly.
However, its code quality is not perfect and the codebase doesn't have any testcase (which is tricky, since it is embedded code and rely on getting external data to react).
Before improving the code itself, a testsuite should be created to ensure code additional don't cause regression.
Goals
Create a testsuite, allowing to test solar router code in a virtual environment. Using LLM to help to create this test suite.
If succesful, try to improve the codebase itself by having it reviewed by LLM.

Capyboard, ESP32 Development Board for Education by emiler
Capyboard is an ESP32 development board built to accept individual custom-made modules. The board is created primarily for use in education, where you want to focus on embedded programming instead of spending time with connecting cables and parts on a breadboard, as you would with Arduino and other such devices. The board is not limited only to education and it can be used to build, for instance, a very powerful internal meteo-station and so on.

Hack Week 25
My plan is to create a new revision of the board with updated dimensions and possibly even use a new ESP32 with Zigbee/Thread support. I also want to create an extensive library of example projects and expand the documentation. It would be nice to also design additional modules, such multiplexer or an environment module.
Goals
- Implement changes to a new board revision
- Design additional modules
- Expand documentation and examples
- Migrate documentation backend from MkDocs to Zensical
Hack Week 24
I created a new motherboard revision after testing my previous prototype, as well as a light module. This project was also a part of my master's thesis, which was defended successfully.
Goals
- Finish testing of a new prototype
- Publish source files
- Documentation completion
- Finish writing thesis
