OSHCamp 2023 Badge
A WiFi badge for Open Source Hardware Camp 2023, designed as a name badge, solder-paste workshop board, USB-UART adapter, qwiic/STEMMA QT sensor host, and post-event Tasmota room sensor.
Open Source Hardware Camp
Open Source Hardware Camp 2023
A UK open-source hardware camp whose WiFi badge doubled as a solder-paste workshop device, name badge, USB-UART adapter, and post-event sensor platform.

Add-ons & Upgrades
OSHCamp 2023 Badge
documented
STEMMA QT / Qwiic expansion
The qwiic/STEMMA QT compatible port gives the badge a plug-in sensor ecosystem for post-event use and experiments.

documented
Badge topper prototyping area
The badge/topper arrangement exposed prototyping and expansion space, making the badge a workshop board rather than a closed souvenir.

historical
3D name plate generator
The badge decoration workflow included a 3D name-plate generator so attendees could personalize the badge object without changing the electronics.

Laser-cut badge add-ons
The writeup credits oomlout and Paul Downey collaboration around laser-cut badge decorations that extended the base PCB into a more complete name-badge object.

Tasmota room-sensor firmware
Electrolama describes flashing Tasmota by default so the badge could continue as a room sensor after camp when paired with an external sensor.
Operational history
Issues & Camp Impact
OSHCamp 2023 Badge
note
Tasmota is documented as the default post-event firmware path, while deeper Arduino/example-code use should be treated as an extension path unless traced to a specific published build.
The catalogue avoids overstating app-store-like functionality for a badge whose public record is centered on Tasmota and open hardware files.
OSHCamp 2023 Badge
note
The badge design supported ESP8285 QFN and ESP-12 module population choices, a practical manufacturing and workshop tradeoff rather than one fixed public configuration.
The record names both options so readers do not infer every badge had the same radio-module build.
OSHCamp 2023 Badge
note
The OSHCamp visual now uses an optimized WebP derived from a transparent cutout derived from the Solderpad-licensed `images/oshcamp23_badge_04.jpg` photo in the Electrolama badge repository.
The public badge page, image archive, and API point at a licensed original-photo derivative with source and attribution preserved.
OSHCamp 2023 Badge
note
The OSHUG event page framed the badge session as a solder-paste and reflow workshop and told attendees to bring their own tools and accessories for programming and use.
The badge experience depended on workshop readiness instead of only passive distribution; that is useful context for anyone comparing camp-badge accessibility.
