Dan, I have my finger hovering on the buy button for the screen. Just to be clear: we don't give you money; we instead buy the screen and put it on ourselves. Is this corrected?
Correct.I'm actually going to change this to everybody buys their own display and ESP12 module, after looking at suppliers there is no real advantage to ordering these in bulk.So everyone buys a display and an ESP12 (or ESP12E) module and gives me money for a board that apart from the display and ESP is complete.Dan
Several of you will probably now that I started designing my own badge for EMF after they announced they were yet to find funding to have theirs produced (which they have now found).I've done the design work so will be making a batch of them, they are based on the ESP8266 with a colour TFT display, 8 NeoPixels, D-pad + A/B buttons.
The boards will probably cost around £10-15 each depending on the batch size, the display (which you must buy yourself) is £6-7 and all other parts (which I will buy) with probably be around £5-10 per board.I've quoted the prices I would expect for boards from Eurocircuits so if anyone knows of somewhere I can gets boards done cheaper within 7 working days then let me know.
Who is interested in one?

Kewly :)
OK, bought screen and a couple of esp12 thingies. One for the badge, and one for future tinkering :)
Keen to get Conway's Life running on the screen!

Hi,
Havent had a chance to look at the BRD file yet, are the LEDs the 4 or 6 pad ones?

Or presumably wire the first Di neopixel's line to the header?
I wouldn't feel bad about anything like power planes, my boards need bodge wires until at least v3. :-/
David
I haz all teh readz!
Yay, Johnny 5 is alive!
(Fwiw, I have badge 5)
(Fwiw2, the above is not indicative of my badge's assembled/powered status...)
Thanks Dan!

I assume that the Conway's game engine will not be affected. It is pretty self-contained logic.
She'll be reet.
Being nosey, but why do you want encryption?
What are you planning on doing with it?
I almost wanted each badge to have its own ssid and get it to scan to see when each of us were close by others!
My understanding was the NOC specifically did not want people setting up APs connected to the main network for fear of routing loops. I don't think "NO SSID" rule is either reasonable or enforceable.
David
The problem is they don't want the limited wireless bandwidth used up by insufficient network beacons. I feel these are legitimate concerns.
As things stand I am receiving a certain amount of resistance with the argument that WPA2-PSK is no more secure than open, a fact a some what dispute. That said they are going to discuss it and I my main argument for it is a good one, as in it is the difference between doing something cool and not doing something cool. :-)

Well, the figure quoted to me was 3%, but I don't have an accurate figure. A lot of domestic routers were really bad a few years ago mind. I don't know if things are better.

I have mine but no chance to do anything to it for a week or so.....
David
When this happened to me with the esp it was a brownout from the 3v3 regulator not being able to supply enough current when wifi was on, let alone a colour screen.
Might be worth checking to see if the voltage sags?
David
I'll try it off a battery instead of via my FTDI board and cross everything including my eyes.
Dan
Aye, that might well be more than the 3v3 regular on the FTDI board can supply ...
David
Does constant flashing of the LED on the ESP indicate a boot loop? E.g. flash flash...flash flash...flash flash...etc
