Overglade

Overglade 2026

The completed January 29-February 2, 2026 Hack Club game jam in Singapore. The retained official Overglade page describes its physical game-jam framing, and a current Hack Club page identifies a January 2026 Singapore Overglade that took place. Kai Pereira's public project archive explicitly calls its RP2040, e-ink, and NFC devices Overglade hackathon badges, while organizer allocation, final production variation, software deployment, licensing, and image rights remain bounded.

Overglade 2026 Zero-Power NFC E-Ink Badge

Kai Pereira's public archive identifies these as Overglade hackathon badges designed for the completed Singapore game jam. The device has an RP2040, passive NFC, an onboard e-ink driver, and an exposed ticket-shaped PCB with public KiCad and MicroPython source trees. Official Hack Club pages establish the event, but not a badge entitlement or all-recipient allocation.

Lifecycle

Add-ons & Upgrades

badge display

E-ink identity display

The public README identifies an onboard e-ink driver and describes the badge as visually displaying a configured name. It does not establish the exact final panel, update behavior, display contents, power state, accessibility behavior, or participant configuration used at the event.

badge interaction surface

Passive NFC identity surface

The design journal describes a passive NFC tag and antenna receiving harvested energy, alongside I2C/control wiring intended for possible active-NFC customization. This preserves the layered NFC design concept without asserting a final attendee-unit NFC IC, protocol, provisioned data, reader behavior, access-control role, enabled active mode, deployment, safety certification, or privacy practice.

Overglade 2026 Zero-Power NFC E-Ink Badge public source; licence unverified

source archive

Public MicroPython firmware and KiCad archive

The public repository includes native KiCad schematic, PCB, project, and production-data files plus MicroPython-oriented configuration, main application, e-ink driver, and bitmap assets. The archive does not expose an explicit root repository licence, release, or proof that it matches every produced or participant-configured unit.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

event allocation and physical-production boundary · official event sources and maker archive · event completed; badge allocation unverified

Hack Club's official pages establish a completed Singapore game jam, while Kai Pereira's maker archive explicitly identifies Overglade hackathon badges. Neither reviewed official page publishes a ticket-to-badge entitlement, recipient list, allocation rule, quantity, pickup/delivery record, organizer-issued credential role, manufacturing record, or final physical-production ledger.

The catalogue records a real event-specific maker artifact without treating it as a universal attendee benefit, official access credential, organizer-issued device, or complete production account.

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

No Overglade 2026 Zero-Power NFC E-Ink Badge 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 Singapore record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.

source-license and media-provenance boundary · repository-root and image-policy review · public source archive; explicit licence and reusable media basis unrecovered

The reviewed public repository root did not expose an explicit licence file, and official/event/repository media did not pair a selected factual badge image with an image-specific reusable licence or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing provenance. A public source archive is not treated as a blanket licence for code, design, branding, or imagery.

The record cites public design material as evidence but remains image-free and does not republish event photos, repository previews, screenshots, artwork, or approximate/generated imagery.

zero-power, hardware, and firmware parity boundary · maker README and design journal · source design documented; final event-unit parity unverified

The maker's README and journal document a zero-power concept, RP2040, passive NFC, e-ink driver, USB-C, GPIO breakouts, and source trees, but do not identify a final attendee-unit revision, panel variant, assembled BOM, physical output, radio configuration, power behavior, active-NFC implementation, firmware image/release, provisioning record, participant configuration, or all-unit parity.

Hardware and software descriptions remain tied to the public design archive rather than promoted to a fully known, uniform, deployed event build.
