Software You Can Love 2026 SYCL Badge V2

Planned RP2350 developer-conference PCB badge for Tables Day

Software You Can Love's official 2026 update says attendees of the conference's Sunday Tables Day will receive a SYCL Badge V2. The planned October 3-6 Metro Vancouver event describes the activity as a PCB Badge and identifies selected V2 changes: an RP2350 instead of the earlier ATSAMD51J19 and three AAA batteries instead of LiPo power. A public project repository describes itself as the SYCL conference badge, but the official event material does not map a particular repository commit or design revision to the October handout.

Why It Mattered

It adds a current Canadian developer-conference badge with unusually clear pre-event allocation and high-level revision evidence while keeping a planned device distinct from a shipped, fully specified, or universally issued artifact.

Hardware

The official 2026 update describes a planned SYCL Badge V2 PCB badge with an RP2350 and three AAA batteries. It does not identify its final board revision, display, controls, connectors, dimensions, enclosure, schematic, BOM, manufacturing package, component substitutions, electrical limits, test results, or final physical units.

Software & Apps

The official update says the planned V2 has an operating layer capable of supporting multiple Cart applications. The public SYCL badge repository supplies project context, but no reviewed official source maps it to a particular 2026 event unit or publishes a final event release, application inventory, deployment record, software license, support policy, or recovery process. No operating, connection, or update directions are presented here.

Lore

Software You Can Love lists its October 3-6, 2026 Metro Vancouver conference as the current event in the series. Its official update places Tables Day at Site B in Port Moody and lists Ivan Cheung, Vanessa Chu, Katie Goncalves, Sarah Oskuei, and Eric Tannant as the V2 capstone team. The source documents a planned Tables Day handout rather than general four-day attendance allocation, an admission credential, or a completed participant receipt.

Tables Day SYCL Badge V2 inclusion

Software You Can Love's official 2026 update says attendees of Sunday Tables Day will receive a SYCL Badge V2.

Planned RP2350 and three-AAA V2 revision

The official update says the V2 moves from the earlier ATSAMD51J19 to an RP2350 and from LiPo power to three AAA batteries.

Compatibility: Planned SYCL Badge V2 only; final board revision, component population, battery handling, electrical behavior, and delivered-unit parity are not established.

Issues & Camp Impact

final hardware and software release boundary note

Public sources identify an RP2350, three-AAA plan, and a multi-application software ambition, but do not identify the final board revision, display, controls, connectors, dimensions, schematic, BOM, manufacturing package, component substitutions, electrical limits, tests, final firmware image, application inventory, release tag, source license, deployment record, support policy, or recovery process.

The record preserves the published V2 direction without presenting it as a finished specification, operating guide, safe configuration, or final hardware/software release.

Confidence: official pre-event badge update and repository review
Status: limited planned revision surface public; final unit and release unrecovered
Timeframe: 2026 pre-event source pass
Source note: Software You Can Love 2026 official updates, Matthew Knight organizer post, and ZigEmbeddedGroup/sycl-badge repository review.

missing rights-cleared image note

No Software You Can Love 2026 SYCL Badge V2 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 Canada record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.

Confidence: local project policy
Status: needs licensed original replacement
Timeframe: current catalogue build
Source note: badge.gallery image policy and Software You Can Love 2026 official conference updates, Matthew Knight's direct organizer post, and the public SYCL badge project repository.

pre-event production, allocation, and fulfilment boundary note

The official update says Tables Day attendees will receive a SYCL Badge V2, but the event has not yet occurred. Reviewed sources do not establish final manufacture, inventory, quantity, ticket-to-badge ledger, eligibility beyond Tables Day, speaker/staff/guest treatment, pickup process, individual receipt, replacement, shipping, or completed delivery.

The catalogue records the source-backed planned day-specific allocation without treating it as an event-wide entitlement, an admission credential, or completed fulfilment.

Confidence: official 2026 conference update
Status: Tables Day inclusion announced; manufacture and handoff unverified
Timeframe: before October 3-6, 2026
Source note: Software You Can Love 2026 official updates and Matthew Knight organizer post.

repository-to-event-unit and licence boundary note

The public ZigEmbeddedGroup repository describes itself as the SYCL conference badge and has current V2 development history, but reviewed official 2026 pages do not link a commit, source tree, board revision, firmware build, media asset, or license to the planned October handout. GitHub metadata reports no detected repository license.

The repository is cited as source context without asserting event-unit parity or copying code, hardware files, artwork, branding, or images as reusable material.

Confidence: public repository metadata and unlinked official event material
Status: public project context retained; October unit mapping and reuse rights unresolved
Timeframe: reviewed 2026-08-05
Source note: ZigEmbeddedGroup/sycl-badge repository and GitHub API metadata; Software You Can Love 2026 official pages.
