Fri3d Camp 2026

The completed August 14-16, 2026 sixth Fri3d Camp at Domein De Kluis. Its organizer documentation and public firmware repository identify a 2026 ESP32-S3 badge platform, while individual handout, production, and final deployed-image outcomes remain unrecovered.

Fri3d Camp 2026 Badge

A source-backed record for Fri3d Camp 2026's main badge. The organizer's public Revision 02 hardware, firmware, and documentation repositories describe an open ESP32-S3 platform with extensions, apps, and repair paths; the organizer's event index now lists the August camp among past events. Neither source establishes individual handout, production, or final deployed-image outcomes.

Lifecycle

Add-ons & Upgrades

Fri3d Camp 2026 Badge publicly documented; camp completed

SAO sensor add-on

VL53L7CH time-of-flight SAO sensor

The ToF SAO add-on provides a VL53L7CH 8x8 multizone sensor, eight addressable RGB LEDs, I2C access at 0x52, a Class I 940 nm laser, and an official MicroPythonOS app example.

Compatibility: Fri3d Camp 2026 Badge SAO connector, optionally paired with the SAO mirror.

hardware expansion surface

12-pin expansion and optional SAO header

The official badge documentation identifies a 12-pin connector with I/O and multiple power options, plus an optional SAO connector for physical expansion boards.

Compatibility: Fri3d Camp 2026 Badge Revision 02 expansion surface.

legacy accessory compatibility

Badge Link blaster compatibility

The official 2026 badge documentation says its Badge Link / Blaster connector is compatible with the 2022 Time Blaster and the 2024 Big Flamingo Gun 9000.

Compatibility: Fri3d Camp 2026 Badge and the documented 2022/2024 blaster accessories.

optional radio add-on

Wio-SX1262-N LoRa kit

The documented solder-it-yourself LoRa kit adds a Seeedstudio Wio-SX1262-N module and spiral antenna, with an optional SMA connector and 868 MHz antenna extension.

Compatibility: Fri3d Camp 2026 Badge Revision 02 with the optional LoRa module footprint.

software platform

MicroPythonOS App Store and custom-app workflow

The official 2026 documentation says the main badge runs a customized MicroPythonOS build with pre-installed apps, an App Store, custom MicroPython development, and local or camp-assisted firmware restoration paths.

Compatibility: Fri3d Camp 2026 Badge; final attendee app inventory and service availability remain unrecovered.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

Fri3d Camp 2026 Badge moderate

safety and modification caveat · official hardware and add-on documentation · documented guidance; field outcome unrecovered

The official documentation says the analog multimeter connector has no protection, warns against operating the optional LoRa module without an antenna, and notes that the 2000 mAh LiPo is mechanically less robust than prior 18650 cells and is protected by a cover. The optional radio and expansion paths also require soldering.

The record presents the expansion surface as intentional maker hardware, not risk-free plug-and-play peripherals.

Fri3d Camp 2026 Badge note

completed-camp handout state · official 2026 camp and hardware repositories · camp completed; handout and production outcome unverified

The organizer event index lists Fri3d Camp 2026 among past events. The hardware README says Revision 02 was the version intended for handout during the camp, but neither source establishes individual attendee distribution, final allocation, physical-unit parity, or field reliability.

The catalogue can mark the event complete without converting a planned handout statement into a completed attendee-distribution or production claim.

Fri3d Camp 2026 Badge note

firmware and app release boundary · official documentation and MIT firmware repository · partly documented / post-event source pass

The public firmware and App Store paths establish a programmable platform, but they do not prove the final attendee firmware image, final pre-installed app set, App Store inventory or availability during camp, final game payloads, or post-event support. The firmware README also documents a manual headset-output configuration choice.

The catalogue records the released software architecture and recovery workflow without converting a public repository into claims about final attendee experience.
