Ruxcon
The October 24-25, 2015 Ruxcon edition in Melbourne whose public Hardware Hacking Village badge repository and build guide preserve an STM32 electronic badge with SMD assembly, CR2032 power, SWD programming, I2C errata, and firmware examples.
CQ Function Centre, Melbourne, Australia · Australia · 2015
Ruxcon 2015's Hardware Hacking Village badge is preserved here as an Australian STM32 badge with public KiCad/Gerber files, schematic material, firmware examples, SMD assembly instructions, CR2032 power, and SWD/OpenOCD programming notes.
Lifecycle
The public repository preserves blinky, I2C test, SSD1306 display, low-power display, interrupt display, and threatbutt_IoT firmware example directories.
The programming writeup documents compiling badge demos and flashing STM32 firmware through OpenOCD with a patched Bus Pirate SWD setup.
The workshop guide documents optional bodge wires for the mislabeled I2C bus and switch-tab trimming to avoid shorted contacts.
The build PDF walks attendees through fluxing pads, placing the STM32 processor, reflowing LEDs, resistors, capacitors, and installing the CR2032 holder.
Operational history
The catalogue ties the badge to the Hardware Hacking Village public archive and avoids claiming exact distribution volume or universal attendee issuance.
The Australian entry now has a real upstream assembly photo with source URL, license, attribution, and processing notes instead of a generated or placeholder image.
The record preserves the badge as a real workshop artifact with teachable hardware mistakes rather than hiding production friction.
