Lab asset management systems prototype
A research prototype for lab asset management using UHF RFID hardware — specifically Impinj R420/R200 readers and Yanpodo readers — with a web frontend (labserv), QR label printing (qps via Dymo LW400), and antenna control (antc). This is clearly someone's university lab project, not a product. If you work with the exact hardware listed in the topics, there's useful reference code here; otherwise it's not for you.
The scope is impressively broad for a prototype — RFID reader integration, antenna switching via HMC349, QR code generation, label printing, and a web server all in C. The r420-stats subtree includes ML experiments (PyTorch) for RFID signal classification with recorded datasets committed, which is genuinely useful for anyone doing RFID localization research. Using libh2o for the HTTP server rather than rolling something custom is a reasonable call. The plantuml component diagrams show someone actually thought about the architecture.
The top-level README is just a list of links to sub-READMEs — no setup guide, no hardware requirements list, no explanation of how the components connect. Several files are named 'experimental_main.c', 'old_main.c', and there are committed .csv and .log data files that belong nowhere near a source repo. Config is done by copying config-sample.h and editing it directly, which means secrets can trivially end up committed. Zero test coverage, and the labserv SQL init script is the only schema documentation — no migration story at all.
