LayerOne
The May 23-24, 2026 LayerOne Pasadena edition whose official Hardware Hacking Village and wrap-up sources document attendee and speaker electronic badges assembled in the village: a three-button keyboard with blinkies and a self-printed UV-resin artwork layer, plus a narrowly documented electrical-repair response.
Pasadena Hilton, Pasadena, California · United States · 2026
LayerOne 2026's electronic attendee and speaker badge was a three-button keyboard with blinkies and a self-printed UV-resin artwork layer. The official Hardware Hacking Village material says attendees assembled the electronic badge in the village, and the official wrap-up confirms the completed event badge and its hand-repair response.
Lifecycle
LayerOne's Hardware Hacking Village page says both attendee and speaker badges were electronic and had to be assembled in the village.
The official wrap-up describes the completed badge as a three-button keyboard with blinkies and a self-printed UV-resin artwork layer.
LayerOne's official Hardware Hacking Village round-up says soldering and rework stations plus volunteers were available for attendees who wanted to tinker with the badge.
The official wrap-up says riverside and Holly helped fix an electrical issue with all badges by hand, without identifying the fault, exact repair, or attendee impact.
Operational history
The record preserves a real build and repair constraint without inferring a root cause, systemic hardware defect, or attendee-facing failure beyond the official statement.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying official event-page, wrap-up, or Hardware Hacking Village media without complete reuse rights.
The catalogue records the verified artifact and hands-on event context without upgrading a visual or assembly description into unsupported electrical or software claims.
