- Notes
- Original 1688x902 upstream hardware-tree PNG downloaded through the GitHub contents API from `hardware/Eko2024.pretty/eko-badge-2024.png`, preserved locally as `Public/images/source/ekoparty-2024-electroniccats-eko-badge-cern-ohl-1-2.png`, and converted to an optimized metadata-free WebP delivery asset. The repository README states that the hardware is released under CERN OHL v1.2 and points to `LICENSE_HARDWARE.md`; this is an official upstream hardware raster, not generated content, a placeholder, a social-media copy, or a conference-gallery copy. The published badge.gallery delivery file is an optimized WebP generated from the rights-cleared local derivative/source with metadata stripped, WebP quality 82, and a maximum side cap of 1600 pixels when the source is larger; upstream source URL, license, and attribution remain unchanged.

SourceWhy It Mattered
It fills the middle year in Ekoparty's public 2023-2025 electronic badge lineage and shows a South American badge moving toward radio, mesh, and cross-event interaction experiments.
Hardware
The public repository README lists ESP32-C6, NeoPixel LEDs, USB, LoRa, buzzer, and OLED. The KiCad tree includes an Ekoparty 2024 schematic and board, ESP32-C6-WROOM-1-N4 module references, an RFM95W LoRa transceiver, OLED labels, lens board files, BOM-style exports, and 3D STEP assets.
Software & Apps
The firmware tree documents an ESP-IDF and Minino build flow, serial monitoring at 115200 baud, Badge Connect components, LoRa manager, Llamaneitor, sounds, village modules, and app code for finding nearby badges by cross-event badge type.
Lore
The public sources tie the badge to the November 13-15, 2024 CEC Buenos Aires Ekoparty edition. The Meshtastic community variant documents an ekoBadge PlatformIO target with the badge's LoRa, OLED, NeoPixel, keyboard, and speaker pin mapping.

ESP-IDF and Minino firmware build path
The developer guide documents cloning the badge repository, initializing submodules, using ESP-IDF, setting MININO_PATH, building Minino firmware from the eko branch, flashing, monitoring, and creating release builds.

Issues & Camp Impact
firmware configuration caveat
note
The current public Badge Link module snapshot calls the DragonJAR Badge Connect type while the Ekoparty setter is visible but commented, so the catalogue does not claim the final deployed badge-type constant without a release artifact.
The record can document Badge Connect behavior and cross-event lineage while keeping firmware-configuration claims conservative.

image provenance upgrade
note
The Ekoparty 2024 visual uses the Electronic Cats repository's `hardware/Eko2024.pretty/eko-badge-2024.png` upstream hardware raster under the repository README's CERN OHL v1.2 hardware-license statement.
The South American entry now has a rights-cleared official upstream raster with source URL, license, attribution, and processing notes while avoiding generated or placeholder imagery.

- ElectronicCats badge-EKOParty-2024 README, LICENSE_HARDWARE.md, repository image file, and badge.gallery image policy.
render scope caveat
note
The Ekoparty 2024 image is an official hardware-tree raster, not a documentary field photo of a populated physical badge.
The record still prefers a future licensed original documentary photo if one appears, but the current image is source-backed upstream material rather than generated, approximate, social-media, or placeholder art.
