LayerOne 2015

The May 23-24, 2015 LayerOne edition whose official Hardware Hacking Village archive and CharlieX Hackaday.io project document two electronic badges: a PSoC4/ESP8266/WS2812B blinky badge and a VoCore/OpenWRT RT5350F network badge.

LayerOne 2015 Dual Electronic Badges

LayerOne 2015's badge effort produced two electronic badge designs documented by the official Hardware Hacking Village archive and CharlieX's Hackaday.io project: a battery-powered PSoC4, ESP8266, and WS2812B blinky badge plus a VoCore/RT5350F OpenWRT network badge with Wi-Fi and dual Ethernet intent.

Add-ons & Upgrades

badge controller

PSoC4 ESP8266 LED badge

The Hackaday.io project describes a battery-powered blinky badge using PSoC4, ESP8266 Wi-Fi, WS2812B LEDs, I/O ports, and 3.3 V logic with LED level-shifting work.

Compatibility: LayerOne 2015 Dual Electronic Badges

badge software

UDP RGB drive path

The project details say PSoC routines were back-ported from a PC lightserver and left able to receive patterns or blocks of RGB values over UDP from another Wi-Fi device.

Compatibility: LayerOne 2015 PSoC4 LED badge

firmware workflow

OpenWRT sysupgrade workflow

The VoCore notes document OpenWRT buildroot setup, LuCI and USB-storage package choices, sysupgrade flashing, first-login password setup, SSH/telnet access, and opkg package work.

Compatibility: LayerOne 2015 VoCore badge

power and expansion

CR123A chainable LED hardware

Project details and build logs document two CR123A cells, diode reverse-polarity protection, battery tests, WS2812B failure observations, and boards chainable by VCC, ground, and LED data output.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

dual-badge consolidation caveat · official archive and project logs · documented with caution

The official HHV archive and Hackaday.io project describe two 2015 badges, so this catalogue keeps them in one LayerOne 2015 record while clearly separating the PSoC4/ESP8266 LED badge from the VoCore/OpenWRT network badge.

Readers see the two-source-backed badge designs without treating one board's hardware, firmware, or production state as universal to the other.

missing rights-cleared image · local project policy · needs licensed original replacement

No LayerOne 2015 Dual Electronic Badges image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

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.

prototype-to-production caveat · badge-team logs · documented with caution

The public Hackaday.io material mixes prototypes, late board changes, USB mirroring, level-shifter selection, build pressure, and final assembly notes rather than a single audited final production package.

The catalogue records the source-backed architecture and build status while avoiding unsupported claims about every final shipped component, firmware image, quantity, or attendee role.
