Add-on dossier
A linkable lifecycle record for hardware expansions, app ecosystems, firmware upgrades, cases, radio parts, and post-event badge experiments.
The IR transmitter and TSOP receiver used a UART-oriented protocol with per-badge serial addressing, enabling challenges and user programs to exchange data optically.
