Add-on dossier
A linkable lifecycle record for hardware expansions, app ecosystems, firmware upgrades, cases, radio parts, and post-event badge experiments.
The all-at-once log reports that the LEDs were being controlled from a PC over Wi-Fi after ESP8266 orientation, reset, GPIO, noisy-power, and capacitance debugging.
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.
Official HHV page identifying the 2016 Electronic Badge and linking CharlieX's Hackaday.io project page.
Project log source for CR123A parts, diode validation, Wi-Fi mode, stencil-holder work, early hand-built badges, pick-and-place preparation, and ESP8266 supply limitations.
Source trail
Development-log source for PCB arrival, component reuse, reverse protection, level-shifting and capacitance debugging, daisy-chain testing, Wi-Fi control from a PC, and planned firmware-update station.
Primary badge-team source for the PSoC4, 5x4 WS2812B LED array, mini breakout area, 3.3 V and battery rails, broken-out PSoC4 I/O, ESP8266 Wi-Fi bridge, and charliex/mmca team listing.
Production-log source for CR123A parts, diode validation, Wi-Fi mode, stencil-holder and pick-and-place work, eight hand-built badges, and ESP8266 supply pressure.
Conference archive source proving the May 28-29, 2016 Sheraton Gateway LAX, Los Angeles LayerOne event context.
