Add-on dossier
A linkable lifecycle record for hardware expansions, app ecosystems, firmware upgrades, cases, radio parts, and post-event badge experiments.
The badge exposed an onboard BASIC interpreter with badge-specific commands for display, LED, audio, GPIO, serial, and program storage experiments.
Badge context
