Frequently Asked Questions

Expect no less than 6 months, and up to a year, for your conference badge to be completed. We put lots of effort into making sure your badge will function just the way you want it, and this takes time!

Yes! We value sharing our knowledge with the community, so we publish the diagrams, schematics, and code for our badges to our GitHub repository after the conference (we don't want to give any spoilers beforehand!)

Absolutely! Right before the conference ends, we push new, stand-alone firmware to all the badges. This allows them to be used for a variety of different purposes after the conference.

Our badges are very hackable! We utilize at least 2 SAO connectors on each badge. These provide standardized I2C pins, 2 GPIO pins, a 3.3 volt pin, and a ground pin.

We generally base our badges on MicroPython, and use ESP32 micro controllers.

If your badge isn't working correctly, simply powering off the badge and powering it back on (or using the reset button) should fix it. If you still have issues, come find us at the conference, and we'll help you troubleshoot it!

Each badge is a unique, custom work of art. Above all else, we make badges because it's our art medium. If you have an idea for a badge, let's talk about it (We get really excited about badge ideas)!
