Lifecycle
The attendee writeup describes the 2024 badge as an orc-shaped electronic badge using a 555 timer, LEDs, diode, resistor, capacitor, and 9V battery power.
The attendee report says the badge was simple enough for beginners to get going and was soldered during the conference with shared attendee setup help.
Humanitix described the conference badge as an electronic badge worthy of the Fellowship within the event's Middle-earth themed ticketing copy.
Operational history
The catalogue records the verified orc blinky badge without inventing chip pinouts, LED counts, exact component values, board revisions, or source-code claims.
The record stays source-backed and image-free rather than copying attendee photos, ticketing graphics, or using generated badge art.
