First official Dominican Republic badgelife badge
HackConRD 2024's first official badge was an ATTiny85-based electronic conference badge documented by a public repository and workshop writeup, with lanyard wear, challenge/hidden-feature firmware, serial reprogramming, aRGB LED expansion, buzzer output, and KiCad manufacturing-file evidence.

SourceThe 2024 writeup identifies the official HackConRD badge and frames it as the first badge iteration for the HackConRD community.
SourceIt adds a Caribbean hacker-conference badge lineage to the worldwide compendium and captures HackConRD explicitly marking the start of Badgelife in its Dominican Republic community.
The repository README and workshop writeup identify the badge as the official HackConRD 2024 badge, built around an ATTiny85 / ATTiny45/85 Optiboot target. The public files include a KiCad schematic, BOM CSV, placement CSV, and fabrication ZIP; the documentation describes serial-interface pins, a reset button, physical pin 2 for aRGB LED control plus external aRGB expansion pads, and physical pin 3 for buzzer control.
The source trail says the conference firmware was developed specifically for the event, included challenges and hidden features, and was fully reprogrammable including the bootloader. The README documents Arduino IDE / ATTinyCore setup, Optiboot bootloader guidance, serial upload workflow, and a BadgeFirmwareCollection repository directory.
The HackConRD badge-team writeup explains badges as lanyard-worn hacker-culture collectibles with challenges and hidden secrets, and says HackConRD used its conference logo for this first official badge iteration.

SourceOperational history
The record states first official badge and technical archive details without claiming attendee-wide distribution mechanics or quantity.
The Dominican Republic record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
The catalogue cites the repository as evidence for the 2024 badge but does not copy its render, photos, pinout images, screenshots, notebook media, or fabrication archive media into the public image directory.
