TROPICON 2026 Electronic Badge

Electronic Cats ESP32-C6 badge source with public KiCad hardware and firmware archives

Electronic Cats' public Badge_Tropicon-2026 repository describes its project as the official TROPICON 2026 badge and publishes native KiCad design material. Its commit-pinned hardware README identifies an ESP32-C6, a 2.79-inch 142×428 colour IPS display using an NV3007, LoRa hardware, and an AHT30 sensor. A companion Electronic Cats firmware archive documents software for the TROPICON badge and is marked GPL-3.0 by GitHub. The official TROPICON site establishes the completed April 17-18 Cozumel event, but does not itself link or independently confirm the technical archives, allocation, credential role, final production configuration, recipient handoff, or reusable-image rights.

Authors & Credits

maker-described badge hardware and firmware archive publisher

Electronic Cats

Electronic Cats publishes the hardware archive that describes the project as Badge Oficial Tropicon 2026 and the companion firmware archive. This preserves a source-publisher role without assigning organizer authority, individual authorship, manufacturing responsibility, attendee allocation, or image-reuse permission.

TROPICON

TROPICON's official site establishes the 2026 Cozumel event context. It is not treated as proof that the organizer published, approved, allocated, or licensed the separate Electronic Cats technical archives or any image.

Why It Mattered

This adds a contemporary Mexican event artifact with a public source-design trail while keeping the maker's own official-badge description distinct from an organizer confirmation or attendee-allocation claim. It also preserves an unresolved AHT30-versus-AHT10 documentation discrepancy rather than silently selecting a sensor specification.

Hardware

The commit-pinned hardware README names an ESP32-C6, 2.79-inch 142×428 colour IPS display using NV3007, LoRa hardware, and AHT30; the repository tree contains native KiCad project, schematic, and PCB files. The companion firmware material instead names AHT10, and neither archive reconciles that difference. The reviewed sources do not establish a final BOM, populated production revision, battery or charging arrangement, antenna implementation, electrical or radio test result, regulatory status, safety assessment, or that every documented part appeared in every event unit.

Software & Apps

Electronic Cats' companion public archive describes custom TROPICON 2026 badge firmware and presents high-level event schedule, environmental-reading, and messaging surfaces. The catalogue records those documented software contexts without reproducing operational procedures. Public source availability and GitHub's GPL-3.0 classification do not establish a final deployed build, hardware/firmware parity, update policy, radio configuration, data-handling practice, security review, or completed event deployment.

Lore

TROPICON's official home identifies the April 17-18, 2026 Cozumel cybersecurity event. Electronic Cats labels its separate public hardware repository Badge Oficial Tropicon 2026; that is a maker-published description, not an organizer-page confirmation of sponsorship, admission inclusion, credential use, distribution, or final recipient handoff. No reviewed source supplies a rights-cleared artifact image.

Add-ons & Upgrades

commit-pinned hardware documentation design source publicly documented

ESP32-C6 display, LoRa, and sensor source surface

The hardware README names an ESP32-C6, a 2.79-inch 142×428 colour IPS NV3007 display, LoRa hardware, and AHT30; the archive contains native KiCad project, schematic, and PCB material. This retains a high-level documented design surface without asserting a final BOM, populated revision, power path, antenna, test result, safety assessment, or final unit configuration.

Maker-described official badge and event-association boundary

Electronic Cats calls its public hardware project Badge Oficial Tropicon 2026, while TROPICON's official home establishes the completed Cozumel event. The event page does not itself link or independently confirm the repository, and neither source establishes ticket inclusion, quantity, price, pickup, delivery, admission use, or recipient handoff.

Public KiCad and separated source-license scope

The hardware archive publishes native KiCad material with CERN Open Hardware Licence v1.2 text for hardware documentation, and GitHub marks the separate firmware archive GPL-3.0. These source and license findings do not automatically cover firmware deployment, repository graphics, event media, logos, trademarks, or local image publication.

Issues & Camp Impact

AHT30/AHT10 sensor discrepancy and final-unit parity gap note

The commit-pinned hardware README names AHT30, while the commit-pinned companion firmware README names AHT10. Neither source reconciles the sensor reference or identifies the fitted sensor on a documented final event unit. The reviewed material also does not provide a final BOM, manufacturing record, component-substitution history, unit revision manifest, assembly inspection record, or complete hardware/firmware parity statement.

The entry preserves both source statements and does not select a sensor, claim a final component list, or represent public design files as a verified production configuration.

firmware, wireless, data, and operational-policy gap note

The public firmware archive documents a TROPICON badge software project, but reviewed sources do not establish a final distributed build, release-to-unit parity, firmware update or support policy, final radio configuration, field or compliance evaluation, security review, data-handling terms, privacy notice, retention policy, or event-use policy.

The catalogue links public source material at a high level without treating it as a final deployment, safety/compliance result, operating policy, privacy practice, or authorization to use any communications capability.

missing rights-cleared image note

No TROPICON 2026 badge image is published because the reviewed event and repository pages do not pair a selected factual artifact image with a reusable license or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing provenance for local publication.

The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying repository media, event graphics, social posts, screenshots, placeholders, or generated approximations.

organizer association, allocation, and credential boundary note

The official TROPICON home establishes the completed Cozumel event, while Electronic Cats' repository describes its project as the official badge. The event page does not itself link or confirm that repository, and reviewed sources do not establish a sponsorship agreement, organizer ownership, attendee eligibility, ticket inclusion, quantity, price, purchase, pickup, shipment, completed handoff, admission role, or recipient ledger.

The catalogue records a real source-documented event artifact without converting a maker description into organizer confirmation, universal issuance, a credential claim, or a completed fulfilment record.
