HackConRD 2024 ATTiny85 Badge

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.

event and official badge context

HackConRD

The 2024 writeup identifies the official HackConRD badge and frames it as the first badge iteration for the HackConRD community.

Source

Why It Mattered

It 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.

Hardware

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.

Software & Apps

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.

Lore

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.

Issues & Camp Impact

distribution-depth caveat note

The recovered 2024 source trail proves an official HackConRD badge and event-specific firmware, but does not expose a ticket-tier archive, final production count, pickup process, or post-event attendee guide.

The record states first official badge and technical archive details without claiming attendee-wide distribution mechanics or quantity.

missing rights-cleared image note

No HackConRD 2024 ATTiny85 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 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.

repository-license caveat note

GitHub reports no detected license for `jrgdiaz/HHW_HackConRD2024`, and the badge-team writeup does not expose a reusable image license.

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.
