Badge records tagged with Arizona, across United States.
HeatSync Labs solderable PCB badge
The CactusCon 2014 PCB badge is preserved through Eric / Robot Ambassador's first-hand writeup, which describes 300 event badges designed by Erik Wilson, given away at the HeatSync Labs booth, and assembled by attendees with LEDs, resistors, batteries, and acrylic hardware.
Soldered WemOS scanner badge
The CactusCon 2017 badge is preserved through a first-hand attendee writeup that describes paying for the badge package, soldering and troubleshooting the board at the Phoenix-area event, and using it as a tiny Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanner.
Ticketed paid-badge registration artifact
CactusCon 2018 is seeded as a conservative paid-badge record because contemporaneous Arizona LoCo Team meeting notes say the September 28-29 Mesa Convention Center event required tickets, offered free admission, and let attendees pay to get a badge.
Printed or electronic ticket-type conference badge
CactusCon 8 is seeded as a conservative ticket-type badge record because official registration pages for the December 2019 Mesa event say CactusCon attendees received either a printed badge or an electronic badge depending on ticket type.
Badge Pirates ESP32-S2 home-automation badge
The CactusCon 11 badge was an ESP32-S2 WROOM electronic conference badge by Badge Pirates and the CactusCon team, built around the event's Nightmare House theme, IoT interaction, LEDs, buttons, optional OLED support, GPIO expansion, and USB serial access.
Project NeoRogue ESP32-S3 badge archive
The CactusCon 12 badge is preserved through Badge Pirates' public CactusCon-12 repository, which includes KiCad CAD files, Gerbers, BOM exports, QA code, art assets, reference documents, and ProjectNeoRogue front/back raster outputs for the 2024 CactusCon badge.
Badge Pirates CC13 ESP32-S3 badge archive
The CactusCon 13 badge is preserved through Badge Pirates' public CactusCon13 repository, which publishes KiCad CAD files, Gerber output, outer-board variants, 3D-print assets, ESP32-S3 reference material, and a MIT-licensed source archive for the 2025 CactusCon badge.
Alex Glow's MIT-licensed hardware-experimentation event PCB badge
Alex Glow's public repository describes this as an official PCB-badge commission for Avnet's FAE Institute 2026, and its linked Hackster project calls it a cyber-gem and platform for hardware experimentation. The commit-pinned source archive contains KiCad 9 board files, Gerber outputs, custom footprint libraries, and front/back repository rasters. Public vendor updates identify the July Phoenix FAE Institute's hands-on technical-training context. Together these sources establish a real event-specific hardware design, but not participant-wide issuance, a final manufactured configuration, a source-to-unit mapping, or a delivery ledger.
Badge Pirates ESP32-S3 hardware archive
The CactusCon 14 badge is preserved through Badge Pirates' public CC14 repository, which publishes KiCad design files, schematic PDF, interactive BOM, Gerbers, STEP exports, 3D-printable enclosure parts, and art assets for the 2026 CactusCon conference badge.
