== Reflash your badge ==

You're home and the badge won't update over WiFi anymore?

Use the [https://why-prog.heplaphon.com/ WHY badge flasher] (requires Chrome or Edge browser).

Select "BadgeVMS post_event" for a firmware supporting WiFi setup.

If you don't want to install Chrome or Edge on your machine, you can compile the current firmware version yourself, using the instructions on [[How to develop an app]]. The updated firmware will automatically add the new settings app to your badge.

== Batteries ==

* Beware of the [[Badge/Fire hazard]] warning before you use batteries in the device.
* insert Cell Positive (+) side, which is the 'middle' of the badge, first, and Cell Minus (-), near the 'edge' of the badge, second.
* don't forget to take it out when not in use because of https://why2025.org/post/822
* you can flash with the batteries in, for charging you can use any of the two ports

== Badge Case Info ==

Currently cases are designed around the prototype PCBs. The final boards might be slightly different, so best advise is currently to wait until (after) the camp with printing one - the badges will be usable without a case. Instead, maybe help with printing the 3mm full-frame spaces (see above).

• Designing your own case? Use the existing screw holes on the badge.
• Bring M2 screws, up to 15 mm in length depending on your case design.
• Badges function fully without a case.
• Note: Cases take much longer to print than spacers.

Case Examples by the community:
<br>
* [https://www.printables.com/model/1372316-why2025-badge-case Semi-official case]
* [https://www.printables.com/model/1376706-why-2025-badge-case-remix Remix of above for printing without supports]
* [https://www.printables.com/model/1377822-why2025-transparent-case Other case design which allows for transparent cases]
* [https://momakemore.com/micropages/why2025/ Another feature rich heavy duty case by @MoMakeMore based on the cutouts by @Dynom]
* [https://www.printables.com/model/1380554-why2025-badge-case-speedy-print-the-boat-hull Speedy Print Case by @MattGrayYes], which can print in under an hour on a Prusa MK4
* [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7118590 Top cover for the "semi-official case" by Shmuma (with and without logo versions)]

== Installing apps from BadgeHub via microSD Card ==
You need a microSD card for this.

# 1. Create the folder stucture ./BADGEVMS/APPS on there.
# 2. In the APPS folder, create a folder named like the badge hub project name.
# 3. Download the app from [https://badge.why2025.org/ BadgeHub] and put the .elf in there.
# 4. Create a json file with the project name next to the folder
# 5. Put the key/values for name, unique_identifier, version and binary_path (full name of the .elf file) in that json file.

== ℹ️🪛 Update! State of "Not assembled" Badges ==
For the badges that were handed out in an unassembled state, please make sure to follow this guide for assembly:

2 variants spacers were added to the white bags that were handed out with your badge:
* 1 variant has a fully printed frame with holes on each corner.
** This one needs to be placed between the badge carrier PCB and the front plate and will cover all electronics on the side.

* the other variant has (at least) 4 small black plastic cilinders. The cilinders look like the following:

[[File:Badge with small spacers.jpg|300px|alt=Badge with small spacers]]

Please make sure to install them between the badge and the front plate like this:

[[File:Spacers on badge.jpg|300px|alt=spacers on badge]]
[[File:Screenshot 2025-08-12 at 20.03.55.png|300px|alt=Badge with small spacer installed and front plate screwed.]]

You have installed these correctly if you can see a clear gap between the badge carrier PCB and the front plate like in the picture above.

== Badge Assembly at BadgeTent ==

We aim to conduct the full-scale assembly during the whole day of Friday, which will involve a maximum of 30 volunteers working in the 15*15 meters BadgeTent.

Assembly involves screwing everything together.

Assembling your first '''WHY2025''' badge might feel overwhelming, that’s okay.

Take your time, explore the parts, and build confidence.

With repetition:
* 1st time = You're learning. -> Instructions on how to handle the components will be provided.
* 5th time = You gain confidence by knowing your tools and how to grab them the best way.
* 500th time = Congratulations, you have accomplished the assembly and will have a Foxconn recruiter on the line.

Parts to assemble:
* CarrierBoard
* Keyboard Dome Layer
* Keyboard Silicon Layer
* 3mm Spacers
* 4x M2 Screws
* Front Panel PCB

If you want to help out in the Badge Assembly on Friday during the day -> then join this Signal group.

=== Lessons Learned during Badge Assembly ===

We encountered a small number of badges (three in total) where the Keyboard Dome Layer was slightly misaligned, leading to a few non-responsive keys. Thanks to our initial test-flashing process, we were able to detect these issues early and have since improved our application method for the Dome Layer.

To ensure quality, every badge will undergo a final quality control check, including a visual inspection of the epoxy and final firmware flashing, so that everyone receives a fully functional badge.

== LoRa Details ==

• The LoRa connector will not be pre-soldered but will be handed out as a compontent separately.
• You’ll also receive a screw-on LoRa antenna.

If you want to use another antenna, use a 868MHz antenna with a SMA connector.

== SAO's ==
Simple Add-Ons (Also known as Shitty Add-Ons).
