Thanks for visting Team Ides.

This page is for our DC25 (2017) badge. We a new badge for 2019 (DC27). If you're looking for that infomration, hop on over to the da Bomb page.

Our Hackaday.io page from 2017 page has the 2017 project log, some build instructions, and history.

The Post-Mortem page on Medium has lessons learned from building this badge. Find out what we learned and don't repeat our mistakes!

We used Kickstarter in 2017 to raise over $23,000 for this project. Check out our history here on Kickstarter.

Yeah, we get it. Lots of people broke their screens and you can get a new one by looking at the Screen Ordering information page.

If you want to make your own board, you can get our PCB layout and Firmware source code.

You will need the GNU ARM Toolchain to build this code, as well as a suitable ARM JTAG/SWD programmer such as the Olimex ARM-USB-OCD-H, plus the latest SD Card (see below)

In order to successfully update the firmware, two things must be present on your SD card - updater.bin and badge.bin. This file is included on the asset disk image, but we are adding it here in case you need it.
