Add-on dossier
A linkable lifecycle record for hardware expansions, app ecosystems, firmware upgrades, cases, radio parts, and post-event badge experiments.
The project says the ESP8266 worked before the conference and exposed GPIO connections to the PSoC4 so the chips could interact and the PSoC4 could reset the Wi-Fi module.
Badge context
Primary project source for the PSoC4, ESP8266, WS2812B, mini prototyping area, exposed rails/I/O, team, and Wi-Fi working-before-event claims.
Conference archive source for the May 28-29, 2016 Sheraton Gateway LAX, Los Angeles LayerOne event context.
Project log source for PCB arrival, Eagle design, reverse-protection diode, level-shifter debugging, daisy-chain tests, ESP8266 power/noise fixes, Wi-Fi control, planned firmware-update station, and pre-build intent.
