Ruxcon 2016 HHV Badge
Ruxcon 2016's Hardware Hacking Village badge is preserved as an Australian STM32F030K6T6 badge with IR receiver/emitter hardware, eight LEDs, dual CR2032 holders, assembly documentation, and a public firmware archive.

Ruxcon 2016
The October 22-23, 2016 Ruxcon edition in Melbourne whose official Hardware Hacking Village schedule and public Darkglade material preserve an STM32F030, IR, LED, CR2032, and firmware-source badge trail.

RuxBadge IR protocol firmware
The public repository preserves badge firmware and a fork of Arduino-IRRemote with the RuxBadge protocol, described as a modified Panasonic protocol with an extended address field and timing tweaks.

source-backed
UART bootloader jumper
The build sheet documents JP1 boot-position behavior, with LOAD for normal flash boot and NORM activating the UART-based bootloader despite reversed board markings.

STM32F030 IR badge assembly
The RuxBadge instruction sheet documents two-sided SMD assembly around an STM32F030K6T6, IR receiver/emitter, eight green LEDs, passives, headers, jumper, and dual CR2032 holders.

SimpleSolder to RuxBadge learning path
The SimpleSolder guide sent attendees who completed the beginner LED flasher toward the more advanced and useful Ruxcon 2016 Hardware Hacking Village badge.
Operational history
Issues & Camp Impact
The recovered source trail proves the RuxBadge BOM, assembly workflow, STM32F030, IR components, LED array, boot jumper, CR2032 power, firmware, and IR protocol, but this pass did not recover schematic, PCB files, Gerbers, manufacturing count, or a project license.
The record keeps hardware claims to the build PDF and repository README instead of inventing board-layout, distribution-volume, or licensing detail.
No local Ruxcon 2016 badge image is published because the recovered PDF images and public pages have not been paired with complete source URL, image license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes for catalogue publication.
The entry stays source-backed and image-free rather than copying PDF photos, event images, screenshots, or generated approximations.
The Ruxcon 2016 HHV repository is public and source-backed, but this pass did not recover an explicit license covering firmware, derived IRRemote code, PDF imagery, or reuse of local badge assets.
The catalogue cites the repository as evidence but does not copy source, images, or derived local assets into the site.
The RuxBadge build sheet warns of design mistakes, reversed boot-jumper markings, and possible battery-holder contact shorts before battery insertion.
The catalogue records the badge as a real workshop artifact with documented assembly hazards rather than a frictionless production object.
