Add-on dossier
A linkable lifecycle record for hardware expansions, app ecosystems, firmware upgrades, cases, radio parts, and post-event badge experiments.
The board exposed BME280 and ADXL345 I2C sensors, screw-terminal ADC inputs for soil moisture, DS18B20, PIR, WS2812B LED strip support, and a switchable VSens rail.
Badge context
Attendee source corroborating the Geelong LCA2016 setting and Melbourne Open Hardware Hackers context after conference close.
Public fork preserving post-event ESPlant experimentation and blinky code linked from the attendee writeup; used for lifecycle context rather than official hardware provenance.
Simon Lyall's LCA2016 notes cite ESPlant as a solar-powered gardening sensor project built in the Open Hardware Miniconf.
Marc Merlin's LCA2016 writeup documenting ESPlant as the Arduino Miniconf board, ESP8266 plant-monitoring purpose, Melbourne Hardware Hacking team context, pick-and-place assembly talk, LED-strip reuse, and linked blinky code.
Primary CCHS Melbourne source for the linux.conf.au Open Hardware Project ESPlant kit, ESP8266/STM32F042/BME280/ADXL345 hardware, Arduino setup, firmware sketches, wiki links, credits, and TAPR OHL licensing.
