I have an #EMFcamp badge!I have crashed the #EMFcamp badge
-
Woohoo! Finally ready for #EMF2026
-
First working experiment was a bit too glitch art for my liking!
-
But I am rather pleased with this result.
Currently only draws a static QR, converted from a pixel array rather than an image.
Will try to add some flourishes - and will document the process.

@Edent I just got some TPU, time to print a wrist strap!

@Edent what I wish I could code is that the lights "ticked" seconds, lighting individually around the face, and a the screen showing an analogue watch face.
-
@marshant there's 12 LEDs. So it should be possible to keep just one illuminated for 5 seconds. I'll have a play!
-
@marshant Got it partly working!
-
-
Now available on the #Tildagon app store.
-
@Edent I knew you'd come around. There's too much fun to be had!
-
@Edent it can join my other clock. Lovely!
-
@floppy AWESOME!

Of course, the main issue with a QR code on a #Tildagon is there's no easy way for a user to customise it.
It's either tedious button mashing or rewriting the app.
So I'm wondering about making the first QR one you scan, which takes you to a unique website, where you enter your data, and then the badge retrieves it over WiFi.
I'm not sure if the badges have a unique ID though?
(This is all building up to my #EMF2026 game which involves⦠things and stuff. QR probably. And lasers.)
-
@Edent wifi interface MAC address is probably the best bet for a unique identifier. https://github.com/gchq-net/badge-app/blob/main/auth.py

@Edent get tildagon to generate a random ID, encode that or a variation of it in the QR code, then poll using that ID for updates. Make IDs one use, so if they want to change settings they get another new QR code with a new random ID
