The Open Research Institute's FPGA and Projects Meetup covered recent activities, including reports from DEF CON, updates on the remote lab, and progress on various projects. Aaron discussed his work on Opulent Voice, creating a point-to-point radio using OpenCPI, and investigating DVB-S2 reception on low-cost hardware. Paul reported on the reorganization of the remote lab and plans to deploy a VCK190 development board for space-oriented designs. Michelle highlighted a pull request for the C++ modem and presented slides on the Earth-Venus-Earth (EVE) communication attempt, detailing the challenges and signal design. Rick provided updates on the DSES amplifier project and demonstrated a new software tool for pulsar observation and simulation. The meeting also touched on EME station progress and the upcoming Halloween event.
