BadgESC{21} Badge designer retrospective and maker-project context

documented electronics

The public technical accounts identify an ESP32-C3, 42 WS2812B LEDs, an I2S microphone, and an accelerometer described as work in progress. They do not establish final component substitutions, feature enablement, calibration, electrical limits, all-unit parity, or a production BOM beyond the public archive's scope.

designer technical retrospective

BadgESC: Unfolding the Power of FlexPCB

Jacopo Franco's first-person retrospective documents the clear PET flex-PCB concept, fold-to-cube form, ESP32-C3, 42 WS2812B LEDs, audio/sensor development context, custom cell, and production process. It is used for those source-bounded technical claims, not as safety certification, a recipient count, or image-reuse permission.

first-person maker project

Fully Transparent Folded Cube Badge

Jacopo Franco's Hackaday.io project identifies the ESC{21} badge as clear-PET, LED-loaded conference hardware and records a limited production-quality observation. The project does not establish all-unit parity, an event allocation total, a final support lifecycle, or rights to reuse project media.

official event registration

End Summer Camp {21} registration

The official 2025 registration identifies End Summer Camp {21} as a September 2-7 nonprofit hacking, free-software, and DIY gathering at ART2 Lounge / Parco della Scultura in Architettura in San Donà di Piave. It establishes event context, not the badge's technical design, allocation, production total, or image rights.

organizer source archive

End Summer Camp badge-2025 repository

End Summer Camp's public repository explicitly says it contains schematics for the flex-PCB badge distributed at ESC{21}. Its root tree links hardware, firmware, case, and folding material, but it does not provide a recipient ledger, final production report, or blanket reuse permission for repository media.

public firmware-material directory

BadgESC{21} firmware directory

The organizer repository preserves WLED-related configuration and build material. It does not by itself establish a tagged final firmware release, a source-to-unit mapping, deployment settings, a whole-firmware license, or a supported operating procedure.

public hardware design archive

BadgESC{21} hardware source tree

The organizer archive preserves native KiCad project material, rendered schematics, Gerbers, BOM, and placement data. These sources document public design material, not a uniform final unit, manufacturing outcome, electrical certification, or safe modification result.

Fully Transparent Folded Cube Badge

First-person maker project that identifies the badge as made for Italian End Summer Camp and records clear-PET hardware, LED context, credits, and a limited production observation. It does not establish a defect rate, all-unit final state, or reusable rights for project media.
