You get a hackable badge, this one is more amazing as previous versions.

I can’t wait to have a go at this cool gadget. I personally could do without the pcb fancy design.

• Espressif ESP32 Wrover-E with 16MB of flash storage and paired with 8MB of PSRAM, for front-end badge computing and compatibility with the badge.team ecosystem back to the 2017 SHA badge.
• Lattice ICE40UP5K FPGA for hardware-accelerated graphics and user FPGA hardware designs.
• Raspberry Pi RP2040 for advanced USB communication and board management.
• 2Ah LiPo battery to give you a full day of fun on a charge.
• 16-bit DAC with stereo output to headphone socket, onboard mono speaker.
• ILI9341 2.2 inch TFT display with a 240 by 320 pixel resolution.
• Bosch BNO055 orientation sensor.
• Bosch BME680 environmental sensor.
• The usual array of addressable LEDs.
• SAO and Qwiic expansion connectors, FPGA PMOD expansion, plus onboard prototyping area.

Downloadable apps, micro python, Arduino ide programming.
All kinds of GPIO pins, leds buttons, sound.

So much potential! Great start for a DIY project.

I won’t post about the workings, thats all well documented online.
I shall post about the hacks/findings i personally did.
