Fri3d 2024 Badge current/historical

Arduino programming path

fri3d-esp32 Arduino board package

The official Arduino guide provides a custom fri3d-esp32 board package, Fri3d Badge 2024 board target, examples, upload flow, and a path for sketches launched through the default firmware.

Compatibility: Fri3d 2024 Badge

BadgeLink game add-on

Big Flamingo Gun 9000

The Flamingo blaster uses an IR LED, two IR receivers, four WS2812 LEDs, a buzzer, trigger, team selector, LANA TNY module, and a 3.5 mm BadgeLink connector to turn the badge into a camp game peripheral.

Compatibility: Fri3d 2024 Badge and Flamingo blaster

Issues & Camp Impact

Fri3d 2024 Badge note

Arduino partition and reset caveat · primary docs · documented

The Arduino guide says the custom fri3d-esp32 package writes sketches to the MicroPython partition and relies on the default firmware to start that partition; overwriting the default firmware requires the reset guide to return.

Fri3d 2024 has multiple programming paths, but they are not equivalent: users need to understand whether they are using the managed MicroPython partition or replacing the default firmware.

Fri3d 2024 Badge note

image provenance upgrade · project image provenance and repository license · licensed original replacement applied

The Fri3d 2024 visual now uses an optimized WebP derived from a transparent cutout derived from the Apache-2.0 `docs/badge2024.jpg` photo in the official Fri3dCamp badge repository.

The public badge page, image archive, and API point at a licensed original-photo derivative with source and attribution preserved.

Fri3d 2024 Badge note

recovery workflow · primary docs · documented

The 2024 docs explicitly include reset-to-factory and update paths, indicating recovery and firmware management were expected parts of badge ownership.

Good recovery docs reduce the risk that app or firmware experiments permanently strand an attendee's badge.
