TROPICON 2026

The completed April 17-18, 2026 cybersecurity event in Cozumel. The official TROPICON home establishes the event's date and location, while Electronic Cats' public hardware repository describes its project as the official TROPICON 2026 badge and a companion firmware archive names the same edition. The reviewed event page does not itself link or independently confirm those technical archives, allocation, credential role, final production, recipient handoff, or image-reuse rights.

TROPICON 2026 Electronic Badge

Electronic Cats' public Badge_Tropicon-2026 repository describes its project as the official TROPICON 2026 badge and publishes native KiCad design material. Its commit-pinned hardware README identifies an ESP32-C6, a 2.79-inch 142×428 colour IPS display using an NV3007, LoRa hardware, and an AHT30 sensor. A companion Electronic Cats firmware archive documents software for the TROPICON badge and is marked GPL-3.0 by GitHub. The official TROPICON site establishes the completed April 17-18 Cozumel event, but does not itself link or independently confirm the technical archives, allocation, credential role, final production configuration, recipient handoff, or reusable-image rights.

Lifecycle

Add-ons & Upgrades

TROPICON 2026 Electronic Badge design source publicly documented

commit-pinned hardware documentation

ESP32-C6 display, LoRa, and sensor source surface

The hardware README names an ESP32-C6, a 2.79-inch 142×428 colour IPS NV3007 display, LoRa hardware, and AHT30; the archive contains native KiCad project, schematic, and PCB material. This retains a high-level documented design surface without asserting a final BOM, populated revision, power path, antenna, test result, safety assessment, or final unit configuration.

TROPICON 2026 Electronic Badge maker description; organizer association limited

maker repository and event context

Maker-described official badge and event-association boundary

Electronic Cats calls its public hardware project Badge Oficial Tropicon 2026, while TROPICON's official home establishes the completed Cozumel event. The event page does not itself link or independently confirm the repository, and neither source establishes ticket inclusion, quantity, price, pickup, delivery, admission use, or recipient handoff.

TROPICON 2026 Electronic Badge public hardware and firmware archives

source and license boundary

Public KiCad and separated source-license scope

The hardware archive publishes native KiCad material with CERN Open Hardware Licence v1.2 text for hardware documentation, and GitHub marks the separate firmware archive GPL-3.0. These source and license findings do not automatically cover firmware deployment, repository graphics, event media, logos, trademarks, or local image publication.

Issues & Camp Impact

TROPICON 2026 Electronic Badge note

AHT30/AHT10 sensor discrepancy and final-unit parity gap · commit-pinned hardware and firmware documentation · source discrepancy unresolved

The commit-pinned hardware README names AHT30, while the commit-pinned companion firmware README names AHT10. Neither source reconciles the sensor reference or identifies the fitted sensor on a documented final event unit. The reviewed material also does not provide a final BOM, manufacturing record, component-substitution history, unit revision manifest, assembly inspection record, or complete hardware/firmware parity statement.

The entry preserves both source statements and does not select a sensor, claim a final component list, or represent public design files as a verified production configuration.

TROPICON 2026 Electronic Badge note

firmware, wireless, data, and operational-policy gap · public companion firmware archive · source archive public; final deployment and policy evidence unrecovered

The public firmware archive documents a TROPICON badge software project, but reviewed sources do not establish a final distributed build, release-to-unit parity, firmware update or support policy, final radio configuration, field or compliance evaluation, security review, data-handling terms, privacy notice, retention policy, or event-use policy.

The catalogue links public source material at a high level without treating it as a final deployment, safety/compliance result, operating policy, privacy practice, or authorization to use any communications capability.

TROPICON 2026 Electronic Badge note

missing rights-cleared image · local project policy and source review · needs selected, attributable, cleared original

No TROPICON 2026 badge image is published because the reviewed event and repository pages do not pair a selected factual artifact image with a reusable license or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing provenance for local publication.

The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying repository media, event graphics, social posts, screenshots, placeholders, or generated approximations.

TROPICON 2026 Electronic Badge note

organizer association, allocation, and credential boundary · official event home and maker-published repository · event and maker archive documented; organizer linkage and distribution unrecovered

The official TROPICON home establishes the completed Cozumel event, while Electronic Cats' repository describes its project as the official badge. The event page does not itself link or confirm that repository, and reviewed sources do not establish a sponsorship agreement, organizer ownership, attendee eligibility, ticket inclusion, quantity, price, purchase, pickup, shipment, completed handoff, admission role, or recipient ledger.

The catalogue records a real source-documented event artifact without converting a maker description into organizer confirmation, universal issuance, a credential claim, or a completed fulfilment record.
