Ekoparty
The November 13-15, 2024 Buenos Aires Ekoparty edition whose official event page documents the free CEC event and whose public Electronic Cats repository preserves the official electronic badge hardware and firmware.
CEC, Buenos Aires · Argentina · 2024
The official Ekoparty 2024 electronic badge documented by Electronic Cats with ESP32-C6 control, RFM95 LoRa radio, OLED display, NeoPixels, USB, buzzer, KiCad hardware files, firmware sources, Badge Connect behavior, and a community Meshtastic variant trail.
Lifecycle
The community Meshtastic guide maps the badge to a PlatformIO ekoBadge environment with RFM95, OLED, three NeoPixels, keyboard buttons, and speaker pins.
The firmware source tree includes LoRa manager, Llamaneitor, sounds, village modules, and Badge Link screens around the Ekoparty badge experience.
The firmware includes Badge Connect code for discovering nearby badges, storing badge MAC and type data, and showing cross-event badge findings for BSides, DragonJAR, EkoParty, and BugCON lineages.
The developer guide documents cloning the badge repository, initializing submodules, using ESP-IDF, setting MININO_PATH, building Minino firmware from the eko branch, flashing, monitoring, and creating release builds.
Electronic Cats documents an ESP32-C6 badge platform with RFM95 LoRa radio, OLED display, NeoPixel LEDs, USB, buzzer, KiCad files, and 3D assets.
Operational history
The record can document Badge Connect behavior and cross-event lineage while keeping firmware-configuration claims conservative.
The South American entry now has a rights-cleared official upstream raster with source URL, license, attribution, and processing notes while avoiding generated or placeholder imagery.
The record still prefers a future licensed original documentary photo if one appears, but the current image is source-backed upstream material rather than generated, approximate, social-media, or placeholder art.
