Arduino-clone badge with FTDI header, blinky expansion board, and hidden challenges
The SAINTCON 2014 badge was an Arduino-compatible conference badge designed for attendee soldering and badge hacking, with FTDI programming, LED blinky behavior, a companion blinky expansion board, and hidden Hacker Challenge secrets documented in first-hand and Hackaday coverage.
PSoC4 blinky badge and VoCore OpenWRT network badge
LayerOne 2015's badge effort produced two electronic badge designs documented by the official Hardware Hacking Village archive and CharlieX's Hackaday.io project: a battery-powered PSoC4, ESP8266, and WS2812B blinky badge plus a VoCore/RT5350F OpenWRT network badge with Wi-Fi and dual Ethernet intent.
555-timer light-reactive soldering badge kit
CarolinaCon 12 included an easy-to-assemble electronic kit badge in the price of admission, with a 555 timer, LED, photoresistor, resistors, capacitor, AAA battery holder, wire, protoboard space, and Hardware Hacking Village support.
PSoC4 and ESP8266 badge with 20 WS2812B LEDs
LayerOne 2016's electronic conference badge returned to the PSoC4, ESP8266, and WS2812B platform as a single LED badge with Wi-Fi working before the event, a mini prototyping area, exposed rails and I/O, and public build logs from CharlieX.

ESP32-WROOM-32 audio badge with Alexa experiment path
LayerOne 2018's electronic badge was an ESP32-WROOM-32-based audio and network badge documented by the official HHV archive, Hackaday's event report, the linked CharlieX ESP32_Alexa repository, and mmca's public hardware notes.
Australian electronic badge firmware and Hardware Hacking Village record
BSides Canberra 2019 is preserved as a source-backed electronic-badge record because the official ticketing page included an electronic badge, the Hardware Hacking Village page offered badge firmware reflashing and direct discussion with hardware badge makers, and the later official speaker export names the 2019 firmware line as Nopia 1337.
ATtiny2313 Blade Runner badge with ESP32CAM add-on path
LayerOne 2019's electronic badge used a Blade Runner / Voight-Kampff theme around a small ATtiny2313 LED-and-button badge, with Hackaday documenting optional add-on boards including an ESP32CAM eye/face-recognition module for the badge's test-of-humanity behavior.
PIC16F1455 USB keyboard badge with addressable LEDs
LayerOne 2023's electronic badge was a PIC16F1455 USB HID and keyboard badge with WS2812B/SK6812-style addressable LEDs, DFU update workflow, writable flash-backed macro behavior, and a badge-competition path around a partial RubberDucky 2.0 script interpreter.

The LayerOne 2024 POV Spinner Badge was an electronic fidget-spinner conference badge that displayed words and patterns through a 12-LED persistence-of-vision strip while spinning.
Assembled electronic keyboard badge with blinkies and UV-resin art
LayerOne 2026's electronic attendee and speaker badge was a three-button keyboard with blinkies and a self-printed UV-resin artwork layer. The official Hardware Hacking Village material says attendees assembled the electronic badge in the village, and the official wrap-up confirms the completed event badge and its hand-repair response.
Maker-documented ATtiny85 Hardware Village CTF badge soldered in Goa
The official Seasides and HW101 pages establish a Goa Hardware Hacking Village where people soldered take-home badges and worked on a hidden hardware/firmware challenge. A public project-owner archive calls a concrete board the Seasides 2026 Roulette Badge, says that more than 300 participants assembled it live, and publishes its C firmware, schematic, and Gerbers. The archive makes this a source-backed maker-documented instance of the village badge, but the official event pages do not independently name the Roulette design or confirm that every village or conference badge used that exact final configuration.
