Add-on dossier
A linkable lifecycle record for hardware expansions, app ecosystems, firmware upgrades, cases, radio parts, and post-event badge experiments.
The badge used 13 LEDs to represent the 13 evenly spaced Wi-Fi channels in the 2.4 GHz band, while also detecting Bluetooth, ZigBee, microwave ovens, and other in-band emitters.
