ToorCamp 2018 Badge

MSP430 electronic jar-of-fireflies camp badge

ToorCamp 2018's badge is preserved as a Great Scott Gadgets and OSH Park sponsored electronic jar of fireflies: a soldering-station badge kit built around an MSP430G2211, six green through-hole LEDs, CR2032 power, and open design/firmware files.

ToorCamp 2022 Spider Badge

OlyMEGA light-sensing LED spider badge

ToorCamp 2022's badge is documented by an official badge-talk session and assembly PDF as an OlyMEGA-built soldering badge: four LEDs forming spider eyes, a photocell, potentiometer, MOSFET, slide switch, resistors, and a battery holder whose circuit lights the eyes in darkness.

ToorCamp 2024 Shadybucks Wristband

Camp identity, Shadybucks payment, and Euphoria CTF artifact

ToorCamp 2024's source-backed badge artifact is modeled here as the Shadybucks wristband / Shady Tag flow: each attendee received a wristband at registration, activated Shadybucks at Shadytel, registered a Shady Tag handle, and used the badge or wristband trail as an entry point into the Euphoria CTF.
