About

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
