Swagbadge 101: Software and the Aiko framework
summary
Hands-on guide to the Swagbadge: a Wi‑Fi badge built around a LOLIN Lite ESP32 running MicroPython and the Aiko framework that provides OLED drivers, event handlers, networking and OTA support. Hundreds of badges (≈300) are assembled and report to an MQTT server in Australia for schedule notifications, remote messages and GitHub‑backed firmware upgrades. Hardware: two small OLEDs, capacitive sliders, buttons and add‑on pads; software demos include Snake, a CYOA engine and encrypted badge‑to‑badge messaging; the update flow and web AP config are functional now.
