Connect.Tech Programmable Badges

Connect.Tech Conference

The badges are Espruino Pixl.js boards, and come preprogrammed to do nothing more than display your name and a slowly moving cityscape.

However they feature a pretty full JavaScript interpreter that can run whatever JS you want, and can even interact with other Bluetooth devices.

Hacking / Writing your own Code

Simply power off your badge by removing the battery and power it back on with a button on the right-hand side held down. This will make it connectable so you can program it (until it is restarted again).

Then just follow the normal Pixl.js instructions to get connected and start writing code. There are a bunch of tutorials

Once connected, type reset() - this'll remove any of the badge code from RAM so you can play with a 'fresh' badge, without the old code getting in the way.

If you want your old code back, just type load() and the old badge contents will return. The same happens if you power cycle.

**Don't type save() or use the save on send option in the IDE unless you want to remove badge code. If you blow it away you can always follow the instructions in the next heading.

The standard badge code is here
