About the Badge

This years badge is a badge. You can wear it around your neck with a laynard if you prefer. It lights up, and if we can get some code written it may do other things

Build Guide

Your badge will likely come as a kit. Below is a full build guide, but you likely have the leds already pre-installed on your badge.

  1. Install the LEDS. Each LED needs to be press fit into the PCB from the rear. There is a tiny triangular notch on the bottom left of the led. Allign this notch with the mark on the PCB. Solder the LED to the board. Please note, the LEDs are shock and temperature sensitive, so use a temp controlled iron set at 300 deg C or lower.

  1. Install the Key Allignment Diffueser. This laser cut acrylic piece only goes one way. Place the keys into the grid and through the PCB one at a time. Finally put something stiff ontop of the keys, like a book or piece of cardboard and flip the badge over. Now solder the keys in place.

  1. Solder on battery pack.

  2. Add the OLED screen. The screen should go off to the right from the pins.

  3. Solder on headers.

  4. Turn on badge, bling out.

Troubleshooting

Upper left LED is green. -- Probably a code issue. Deal with it.

LEDS are flickering. -- Bad solder joint.
