Dren Imeraj [Talk] -
Designing an open source acoustic precipitation sensor

The talk presents the work done on designing an open source acoustic precipitation sensor. This type of sensor will require lower maintenance compared to traditional sensors, as well as potentially differentiate between rain and hail. The talk will focus on the technical challenges of designing and implementing such a sensor from both a hardware and software perspective. Besides the technical aspect, the talk will also address the reason the sensor is designed in the first place, namely the development of an open network of hazardous precipitation early warning systems.

Software Freedom Kosova (SFK) is an annual international conference held in Kosovo organized to promote free/libre open-source software, free culture, and an open society. Every year, SFK brings together developers and software users, artists, entrepreneurs, and leaders to collaborate, learn and share common interests in the field of open technology through a combination of lectures, training, and workshops.
