Badge team
We want to make an awesome badge.
We have an irc channel at #sha2017-badge on freenode and a mailing list at badge@lists.sha2017.org
Current team members:
- realitygaps
- the_Jinx
- Einstein
- Kartoffel
- brabo
- puckipedia
- Underhand
- you?
Our current brainstorms and meeting notes are at https://pad.ijhack.nl/p/shabadge. An overview can be found at https://pad.sha2017.org/p/badge-neat. Technical specs (subject to change): https://pad.sha2017.org/p/badge-technical.
We will continue having meetings online on the irc channel once every couple of weeks for the moment.
Badge functions
The idea is that everyone gets a badge that is primarily useful during the event, and also fun and easy to tinker with. Every badge will connect to legacy WiFi (so it's smart to bring a laptop that can do 5GHz). The badge will be able to display information like a talk schedule, fahrplan, angel shifts.
Additionally badges can be configured as a beacon that broadcasts a ID, which is received by nearby badges which then use the ID to fetch information about the area they're near using an API. A 'would be nice' is to also be able to interact with LEDs/devices through this API.
In list form:
- Provide information during the event
- Talk schedule + fahrplan
- Angel shift information (2-way with REST API over WiFi)
- Information on places (tracks, villages) you're near using BLE beacon-configured badges
Bonus stuff (not a priority, but a 'would be nice'):
- Control LEDs or devices in villages you're near using BLE
- Locate friends around the camp (opt-in)
Vacancies
* A firmware developer for the BLE module (nrf51822). Dev boards are available, please inform through IRC.
Hardware
The badge will be a creditcard-ish sized PCB with on it:
- A ~2" e-paper display
- An ESP12* WiFi module controlling everything
- A BLE chip (probably the nRF51822)
- Capacitive touch buttons for input
- A decent-sized battery to last at least a day
- Power regulator
- A USB->TTL chip for programming
- ('would be nice') Proper badge clip instead of a lanyard
- ('would be nice') a pager motor for notifications
At the moment we're trying to keep the budget for the badge below €15, which is still quite a lot of money. Sponsoring might help reduce this amount.
Roadmap
- June 1, 2016: First proto PCB run
- (1-2 more PCB runs)
- February 2017: Start mass production
