Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

hardware-detail and archive gap · official badge page but incomplete · needs artifact-level archive recovery

The official badge page documents the ESP32-C6, Badge3000 WiFi AP, I2C OLED, and two challenges, but the exact OLED part and resolution, button count and layout, power source, SAO presence, and any public firmware or hardware design repository are not identified in the recovered sources.

The catalogue records the verified official badge surface without inventing component-level display, input, power, or design-archive details.
