Hardware hacking

Hardware doesn't have to be so hard! This is a social hardware hacking event, primarily focusing on badges - you can hack on your 2026 Goatmire badge (powered by AtomVM), or if you have a Nerves badge from last year's event, feel free to bring that and hack on it instead! We'll start off with an overview of the hardware, how it was designed, and jump into the details on how to upload code to your badge, add new pages, and more. It's open ended - bring your laptop, a USB-C cable, and some ideas! For info on the badges, please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/gworkman.bsky.social/post/3mvimkrmj5s2y More info will be provided at the event!
