About us
Welcome to Embedded-Romande—the premier network for embedded systems, hardware engineering, and electronics enthusiasts across Suisse Romande!
Whether you are tinkering with microcontrollers in your home lab, building edge-AI devices, founding a hardware startup, or engineering production systems for local industry, this group is your local hub for all things hardware and low-level software.
Who Should Join?
- Hobbyists & Makers: DIYers, Arduino/ESP32/Raspberry Pi tinkerers, and electronics enthusiasts eager to show off side projects or learn new skills.
- Engineers & Developers: Professionals working with firmware, RTOS, PCB layout, FPGA, IoT, automotive, medical devices, or robotics.
- Entrepreneurs & Startups: Hardware founders looking for technical advice, co-founders, or local hardware ecosystem connections.
- Companies & Academic Partners: Local businesses, labs, and research institutions looking to share expertise, discover talent, or support the regional tech community.
What We Do
- Project Demos & Show-and-Tell: Present your prototype, get constructive feedback, or get unstuck on a tricky hardware/firmware issue.
- Technical Talks: Deep dives into embedded C/C++/Rust, low-power design, PCB manufacturing, RTOS internals, Linux embedded systems, and hardware security.
- Networking & Aperos: Connect over a drink with fellow hardware minds across Swiss Romande region.
- Community Help: A collaborative space to discuss local sourcing, prototyping services, component availability, and career opportunities.
Our Vision
To build a thriving, open, and supportive hardware community across Romandie—bridging the gap between casual tinkering, academia, and Switzerland's world-class industrial engineering ecosystem.
Bring your boards, bring your questions, and join us for our next meetup!

Welcome to the official launch of our Embedded-Romande! Whether you are a seasoned engineer working with microcontrollers and custom PCBs, a developer transitioning into embedded hardware, or a passionate hobbyist, this community is for you.
Join us for our very first meeting as we bring together embedded enthusiasts to connect, collaborate, and shape the future of this group.### 📋 Agenda
- Welcome & Member Introductions
Meet fellow group members! We’ll go around the virtual room for brief introductions—share your background, current projects, and what hardware or tools you enjoy working with (C/C++, microcontrollers, RTOS, KiCad, Linux, etc.). - Group Vision & Roadmap
We will discuss the primary goals of this group, including knowledge sharing, hands-on project collaborations, code reviews, and technical workshops. - Planning Future Meetups
Your input matters! We'll open the floor to talk about topic ideas for upcoming sessions (e.g., hardware debugging, LoRaWAN/IoT applications, PCB design, bare-metal C programming) and decide on our meeting cadence. - Q&A & Informal Networking
Stick around after the main discussion to chat informally, share project show-and-tells, or ask questions.
What to Bring
Just yourself, your curiosity, and any ideas or project show-and-tells you’d like to mention!2 attendees- Welcome & Member Introductions
