Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

primary technical archive gap · credible secondary source but incomplete primary archive · needs official schematic or firmware recovery

The recovered source trail documents a NodeMCU ESP8266 handmade badge and badge-hack contest, but this pass did not recover an official 2018 schematic, PCB, BOM, firmware repository, or direct organizer badge writeup.

The record keeps component claims to the published NodeMCU ESP8266 detail and avoids assigning unverified display, battery, schedule, or CTF features.
