- Original 2160x2160 RGBA upstream raster render downloaded from the public Ekoparty_Badge_2025 repository and published as an optimized WebP delivery asset from the upstream PNG without synthetic or placeholder content. The repository top-level LICENSE is GPL-3.0; this is an official repository render rather than a documentary field photo.

SourceWhy It Mattered
It shows the South American badge scene maturing into open, expressive, conference-specific hardware with public firmware and hardware material rather than only scarce attendee swag.
Hardware
The official badge page identifies the badge as artistic, sonic, and customizable. The public repository documents an RP2040, PCM5100 I2S DAC, TPA6138 headphone amplifier, TPA2028 speaker amplifier, rechargeable USB-C battery, 10 NeoPixels, and four resistive touch sensors integrated into the PCB.
Software & Apps
The repository documents Arduino/RP2040 build paths, AMY audio library usage, UF2 flashing, default Dr. Dre sample firmware, an extra synth-drum firmware, raw-to-header sample conversion, custom sample banks, sequencer behavior, sample playback, synth behavior, and effects.
Lore
Ekoparty states 2025 is the third consecutive year with an electronic badge. The official badge page names the creative and technical team and points attendees to a day-one badge reveal session.

Add-ons & Upgrades

Resistive touch audio controls
Four PCB-integrated resistive touch sensors control sample triggering, sequencer behavior, pitch shifting, and filtering through RP2040 ADC readings.

Issues & Camp Impact
exposed electronics caution
note
The repository manual warns that the badge has exposed electronics and can short if placed on conductive material, even when switched off because the battery keeps the charge-management area powered.
The safety note belongs in the record because it affects handling of the physical artifact.

image provenance upgrade
note
The Ekoparty 2025 visual uses the repository's GPL-3.0 `2D_PCB1_2025-10-20.png` upstream raster render.
The South American entry now has a rights-cleared official upstream render with source URL, license, attribution, and processing notes while avoiding generated or placeholder imagery.
