Why It Mattered
It adds San Francisco Security BSides to the North American map with a clear official source trail for a village-distributed electronic badge, while keeping the scope narrow to the HID-learning activity described by the event archive.
Hardware
The official BSidesSF 2022 Sched archive says each Hardware Village participant would receive a pre-assembled badge. The public source does not expose a schematic, controller part, BOM, PCB files, enclosure design, battery detail, or production count beyond limited while supplies last.
Software & Apps
The source says participants could program the badge through the Arduino IDE to send automated keystrokes. The village content was limited to harmless rubber-ducky scripts and light-hearted gags; no firmware repository, payload archive, or challenge source was recovered in this pass.
Lore
The badge activity ran in Participation Hall at City View at Metreon on both BSidesSF 2022 conference days and was brought by Hackerwares. This record does not treat the village badge as the main admission credential for every attendee.

Issues & Camp Impact
hardware-source caveat
note
The official source proves a pre-assembled Arduino-programmable badge, but this pass did not recover a schematic, BOM, controller part, firmware repository, payload archive, PCB files, production count, or official badge photo license.
The catalogue records the real village artifact while avoiding unsupported component or firmware claims.

missing rights-cleared image
note
No BSidesSF 2022 Hardware Village badge image is published because the official schedule imagery does not provide a rights-cleared original badge photo or reusable official render with attribution and processing notes.
The record stays image-free rather than copying schedule, social, gallery, or generated media.
