Why It Mattered

It extends the Utah SAINTCON BadgeLife lineage beyond the 2022 guide with a source-backed 2024 collection record, preserving the event's trading-booth workflow, official/community split, and MiniBadge standard context without collapsing many small add-ons into one uniform attendee badge.

Hardware

The official page frames the 2024 artifact set as submitted and official MiniBadges. The linked MiniBadge standard documents the two-position connector ecosystem, +VBATT, 3V3, GND, SDA, SCL, CLK, PROG, NC pin guidance, optional programming pinouts, I2C behavior, and extender-board compatibility caveats.

Software & Apps

No central 2024 firmware repository or per-MiniBadge source archive was recovered in this pass. The MiniBadge standard documents I2C read/write message behavior for badge-to-minibadge communication, while this record avoids inferring firmware for individual 2024 submissions beyond the standard and official trading-page evidence.

Lore

The 2024 MiniBadge trading page credits SHIFTY and JUP1T3R, says the build guide covers all submitted MiniBadges brought by attendees plus all official MiniBadges, and lists booth hours from Tuesday through Friday with Monday closed.

Add-ons & Upgrades

add-on protocol source-backed

I2C MiniBadge message behavior

The MiniBadge standard defines I2C read/write initiation, button, text, score-update, and brightness messages, while warning that microcontrollers need to track state across repeated starts and stops.

MiniBadge connector and voltage standard

The public MiniBadge standard documents +VBATT, 3V3, GND, SDA, SCL, CLK, PROG, and NC pin guidance, including +VBATT voltage caution and do-not-connect rules for reserved pins.

Extender-board compatibility caveat

The MiniBadge standard documents extender pins introduced for the 2019 Enigma badge and warns that unverified I2C hardware may be treated like a MiniBadge.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

collection-boundary caveat note

The official 2024 page describes submitted and official MiniBadges brought to the conference, so this record models a collection/trading ecosystem rather than a single uniform attendee-issued main badge.

The catalogue preserves the verified BadgeLife surface while avoiding unsupported claims about universal distribution, per-MiniBadge electronics, or official status for every submitted design.

missing rights-cleared image note

No SAINTCON 2024 MiniBadge Trading Collection 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.

source and media boundary note

The recovered public trail proves the trading page, build-guide link, and MiniBadge standard context, but this pass did not recover a central per-badge source archive, final schematic set, complete BOM set, firmware archive, or reusable image permission for guide/page media.

The record keeps hardware/protocol claims to the MiniBadge standard and official trading-page wording, and leaves the page image-free until a rights-cleared original photo or official render is available.
