Today, 22 volunteers assembled 3590 badge kits (minus the badge) in under 3 hours. It was epic to see such a self-optimizing machine at work once again, and we are super grateful to everyone who came to help out! :) ImageImageImageImage
We now have 3590 of these kits, ready to be completed with a badge. We'll be doing that next Saturday, and we can really use more hands! Sign up at wiki.mch2022.org/Team:Badge/Swe… or in our DMs :) Image
On this last leg of our pre-event adventure, we can also use your help in the software department! 🧵
We want to improve the UI of our hatchery.badge.team. Do you know Laravel or can you tell us how we can improve it? Please respond below ;)
We would like to have some useful apps like an event schedule and a weather app available on day 1. You can make this in whatever language/framework you want (Arduino, MicroPython/BadgePython, ESP-IDF are supported). This is your chance to make a really popular app :D
We also have plenty of firmware to-do's or nice-to-haves, but because of our time frame we may not have time to give you an extensive introduction or instruction for that. If you want to help, please check out github.com/orgs/badgeteam… and see if you can make sense of it :)
We would love to have support for our FPGA-featuring badge in Icestudio (icestudio.io), an open-source visual Verilog editor. We need our existing Verilog blocks to be wrapped as Icestudio blocks, a board config for our badge, and some examples to get people started.
Finally, we need more and better documentation, both Getting Started-style and API references. If you know how to write how-to's or if you're good at reading code and documenting API's, contact us!
For a full overview of all of the above and more, see github.com/orgs/badgeteam…

Preparation thread for the sweatshop on Saturday! 🧵

Sign-ups are still open at wiki.mch2022.org/Team:Badge/Swe…
1. Please take a COVID self-test beforehand. Cases are soaring and we don't want to spoil any holiday plans (including our own). :)
2. If you are bringing a laptop for flashing, try setting up our autoflasher. Cloning & running the image builder takes a long time, but you can definitely try:
- installing the udev rules
- running esptool
- running the included picotool binary

To summarise past few weeks into a single thread about the MCH2021 badge with everything we have done so far: (a very long thread ;) )
We have already secured sponsorship from three very cool companies, namely @EspressifSystem , @latticesemi and @BoschMEMS . Lets see what they are bringing to the project:
From @EspressifSystem we're receiving the ESP32 Wrover with 8mb RAM and 16mb Flash! Its the latest version of our dear friend the ESP32. We're also getting a SECOND PSRAM chip for the FPGA part of the badge. Espressif, thank you for supporting us!

Picture thread! We had a massive sweatshop yesterday because we messed up the design and had to rework 350 badges for @HotelHacker . A story in a bunch of pictures. All shots by Noor, our newest badge.team member and proud owner of an actual camera!
First step was cutting off 350 x 5 mosfets. Since we reversed the LEDs by accident, sinking to GND wouldn't work. We cut the mosfets, as this was doable without training and a lot faster than using hot air. Some traces were damaged (1% of the boards) but those were fixed easily!
A side project was prepping the battery boxes for next week. The leads were long and sharp, so we trimmed them down. People had to wear eye-protection, these pins were really on the attack! 700x 2 pins were cut. Bandaids for the blisters from the cutting were handed out.
