Description

Badge, badge, badge! Bring your badges old and new to the HOPE_16 Badge Village. This mystical space will serve as a gathering spot for folks to work on their HOPE XV badge - or badges from any hacker con. Feel free to showcase the badge hacking you have implemented on your once basic builds and share your expertise with the group. From Human to Eldritch Master, come one, come all! Dust off ye ole badge that’s been waiting patiently to have all systems go since it can’t remember when.

If you are the lucky owner of last year’s HOPE badge and haven’t yet begun the hacking process, the Badge Team has some recommendations to speed your ascension! If you want to develop in the way that the HOPE badge producers do, please install ESP-IDF for the ESP32-C3 and read “Get Started ESP-IDF” beforehand. And don’t forget to bring your computer and a USB-C cable that is capable of data transfer!

Sadly, while there will not be a new production of the improved HOPE badge in time for the con to be shared with HOPE_16 attendees, it is anticipated some folks will be returning with their hackable HOPE XV badges. Much development work has occurred since last summer, and the Badge Team is looking for fresh minds to continue the effort. So bring it and get to hacking - because, as they say, it takes a village!
