Add-on dossier
A linkable lifecycle record for hardware expansions, app ecosystems, firmware upgrades, cases, radio parts, and post-event badge experiments.
The Hackaday.io project describes a battery-powered blinky badge using PSoC4, ESP8266 Wi-Fi, WS2812B LEDs, I/O ports, and 3.3 V logic with LED level-shifting work.
Badge context
Primary Hackaday.io project source for the dual-badge concept, PSoC4/ESP8266/WS2812B blinky badge, VoCore/OpenWRT RT5350F network badge, and production timeline.
Conference archive source for the May 23-24, 2015 Sheraton Gateway LAX, Los Angeles LayerOne event context.
Hackaday coverage from the LayerOne 2015 Hardware Hacking Village corroborating that there were two badges and that each came with different hacking paths.
Technical source for PSoC routines, UDP-driven RGB output, CR123A battery behavior, level shifting, reverse-polarity protection, ESP8266 caveats, OpenWRT/VoCore setup, USB storage, LuCI, sysupgrade, and telnet/SSH paths.
Official HHV page identifying the 2015 Electronic Badge and linking CharlieX's Hackaday.io build details for both badges.
Project log documenting kits, speaker and staff badges, LED badge assembly, TM-220A pick-and-place work, chainable LED boards, and late production workflow.

Contemporary Hackaday coverage corroborating that the LayerOne 2015 HHV had two badges and contrasting the OpenWRT networking path with the LED blinky path.
Production-log source for kit preparation, speaker and staff badge builds, LED badge pick-and-place assembly, chainable boards, and late May 2015 build status.
Primary badge-team project source for the two-badge plan: PSoC4/ESP8266/WS2812B blinky badge plus VoCore/OpenWRT RT5350F Wi-Fi and Ethernet badge.
Technical project source for PSoC LED routines, UDP RGB drive path, CR123A power behavior, daisy-chain tests, VoCore/OpenWRT configuration, LuCI, USB storage, sysupgrade, and administration workflows.
Conference archive source proving the May 23-24, 2015 Sheraton Gateway LAX, Los Angeles LayerOne event context.
Official village source naming the 2015 Electronic Badge and linking CharlieX's Hackaday.io page for full build details for both badges.
