Electromagnetic Field

Electromagnetic Field 2026

The completed July 16-19, 2026 Electromagnetic Field camp at Eastnor whose official badge sources document the Spaceagon: a new Tildagon frontboard and optional keyboard hexpansion offered as complete and upgrade kits with on-site-only pickup.

EMF 2026 Spaceagon Badge

Spaceagon is the released 2026 update to EMF's reusable Tildagon badge platform. The official completed-event, order, assembly, and API pages document a complete kit or a 2024 upgrade path, the new Spaceagon frontboard, and a distinct input surface while retaining the Tildagon base and hexpansion ecosystem.

Lifecycle

Add-ons & Upgrades

EMF 2026 Spaceagon Badge officially documented

official assembly verification app

Spaceagon Test app

The assembly guide points owners to the Spaceagon Test app through the badge app store, using code 21230442 to verify the completed 2026 badge.

Compatibility: Assembled EMF 2026 Spaceagon running the required updated badge firmware.

official keyboard hexpansion

Keebdexpansion keyboard

EMF's first official hexpansion is a full-layout, RGB-backlit keyboard that helps with text input and automatically installs its driver when plugged in.

Compatibility: Tildagon or Spaceagon hexpansion interface; availability was limited to EMF 2026 camp ticket holders through the official shop.

official reusable-platform upgrade

Spaceagon frontboard upgrade kit

EMF offered a frontboard, midboard, nubbin, and FPC cable kit for a 2024 Tildagon owner, preserving the prior main board, battery, screen, and hexpansions while changing the event-specific frontboard.

Compatibility: 2024 Tildagon base with the Spaceagon upgrade kit; firmware update required before fitting the new frontboard.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

firmware-update and physical-assembly caveat · official assembly guide · documented owner workflow

The official guide says firmware must be updated before installing the 2026 frontboard; otherwise the new buttons do not work, although the joystick can still be used to update. It also instructs owners to disconnect the battery by its connector rather than its wires and to use isopropyl alcohol to release the battery's glue dots.

Spaceagon is a maintainable upgrade path, but it is not a plug-and-forget accessory: a prospective owner needs to account for firmware state, frontboard disassembly, display and battery connectors, and the guide's physical handling steps.

2026 hardware archive and release-scope gap · official source review · public operational documentation; complete release archive not recovered

The reviewed official sources publish feature, assembly, API, app, and model-link material, but this pass did not recover a complete, separately versioned 2026 package of final frontboard PCB layout, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, manufacturing files, firmware build/release instructions, and explicit license terms. The public base-platform software repository is therefore tracked as context rather than promoted to a complete Spaceagon release archive.

Readers can use the documented upgrade and programming surface without assuming full hardware reproducibility, a specific final firmware version, redistribution rights, or that any public moving branch precisely matches every 2026 shipped kit.

completed-event allocation and fulfillment boundary · official completed-event and badge-listing sources · event complete; individual pickup records unavailable

EMF confirms that the July 2026 event is complete, and the official listing says all badges and components required on-site pickup and now displays the products as sold out. Neither source establishes production quantity, order count, individual collection, no-show handling, delivery, replacement, repair support, or a universal attendee allocation.

The catalogue records a completed event and a documented acquisition route without turning a sold-out post-event listing into a claim that every offered kit was manufactured, collected, or issued to all attendees.

missing rights-cleared image · local project policy and primary official sources · needs licensed original replacement

No Spaceagon image is published because the official announcement labels its photographed Spaceagon as a prototype with temporary artwork, while the reviewed official event, order, documentation, and model-link sources do not provide one final artifact image or official raster with a reusable license or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing record.

The completed United Kingdom record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying prototype artwork, documentation photos, cloud-model previews, attendee media, screenshots, placeholders, or generated approximations.
