Radio & field sensing
Low-power radio, LoRa and Meshtastic experiments, SDR, remote sensors, and other ways to move a small amount of useful information a long way.
Independent workshop · Northern Wisconsin
Practical technology,
built close to home.
Frog Hill Labs is a small workshop for software, radio, automation, local-first systems, and useful experiments at the edge of the woods and water.
Useful over flashy Local-first Field-tested
See what happens hereAbout the lab
A place for useful experiments
The lab grew out of a simple idea: technology should solve real problems, remain understandable, and keep working after the novelty wears off.
Projects range from self-hosted infrastructure and practical software to low-power radios, sensors, electronics repair, and the occasional bit of careful reverse engineering.
The work
Three overlapping habitats
Local-first systems
Self-hosted services, resilient home infrastructure, automation, and private systems designed to remain useful without a cloud dependency.
Software & hardware
Practical software, electronics, repairs, prototypes, and small tools built to make an existing system clearer, sturdier, or more capable.
Field notes
The notebook is opening soon.
Project write-ups, build logs, lessons learned, and unusually specific fixes will appear here as the public side of the lab takes shape.
