Hilton North Raleigh / Midtown, Raleigh, North Carolina · United States · 2016
CarolinaCon 12 included an easy-to-assemble electronic kit badge in the price of admission, with a 555 timer, LED, photoresistor, resistors, capacitor, AAA battery holder, wire, protoboard space, and Hardware Hacking Village support.
Lifecycle
The assembly guide documents a 555 timer, photoresistor, capacitor, resistors, LED, AAA battery holder, and wiring; testing confirms the LED blink speed changes with light exposure.
The official event page says the small electronic badge kit was included with the admission price and contained basic components plus batteries.
The event page says the badge had enough protoboard area for Arduino Micro or Nano compatible boards, with Arduino Micro compatible boards and boost converters available as donation rewards.
The guide points builders to Hardware Hacking Village equipment and personnel, and the event page says attendees could put their badge together there for the duration of the conference.
Operational history
The entry records the verified soldering badge and hacking surface without inventing software behavior.
The catalogue treats the PDF title as an edition-number wording issue rather than a separate 2012 event claim.
The United States record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
