Why It Mattered

It extends CarolinaCon's online-era badge trail into a second shipped artifact and keeps the record specific: the public source proves an electronic Conference PCB Badge bundle, not an attendee-wide admission badge or a fully documented open-hardware release.

Hardware

The official homepage names the artifact as a Conference PCB Badge, and the official about page describes the year's merch bundle as including an electronic badge and sticker. Recovered pages do not publish the controller, schematic, BOM, firmware, challenge logic, battery model, or production files.

Software & Apps

No firmware, badge app, source repository, challenge source, or hardware interaction behavior is claimed for the PCB badge. The event pages document the online CTF as a conference activity, but do not tie public CTF challenges to the badge hardware.

Lore

The pre-order bundle was framed as a way to support CarolinaCon and fund the next in-person conference after COVID delayed CarolinaCon 16. The official schedule places the online conference from Friday April 29 through Sunday May 1, 2022.

Issues & Camp Impact

missing rights-cleared image note

No CarolinaCon Online 2 Conference PCB Badge image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

The United States record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
