Add-on dossier
A linkable lifecycle record for hardware expansions, app ecosystems, firmware upgrades, cases, radio parts, and post-event badge experiments.
The README says the badge can operate with the shield installed, where it drives the OLED display and runs the built-in mini-game without the ESP32 path.
Badge context
Public KiCad add-on project and PCB files for the front-side badge add-on.
Badge setup guide documenting shield-only and ESP32 modes, OLED routing, boost configuration, buzzer, potentiometer, RF detector, and safety warnings.
C firmware tree with CH32Fun-style configuration, OLED, sprite, I2C, and driver files.
