Intro

Getting started

Plug in your battery. Positive terminal points towards the USB connector.

Launcher

Brightness control

Left and Right control the brightness. Save your eyes and also improve your charging time by lowering the brightness.

Wifi Settings

The badge is preconfigured for the Campzone wifi, SSID 'CampZone-IoT' Pass 'CampZone-IoT'. If you want to use the badge at home, do the OverTheAir Update on the campsite so the WiFi settings app works without bugs ;)

To configure from the terminal, open a Serial terminal (115200) and choose 'python shell'.

import machine
machine.nvs_setstr("system", "wifi.ssid", "YOUR SSID HERE")
machine.nvs_setstr("system", "wifi.password", "YOUR PASSWORD HERE")

If you use a SSID without a password, then erase the wifi password setting:

import machine
machine.nvs_erase("system", "wifi.password")

Reboot and it should 'just work' (if you have done the OTA). Else make an accesspoint with the CampZone-IoT as SSID and Password, do the OTA and THEN use your badge properly.

Hardware mods

Capacitor for operation without battery

The I-Pane is a bit dodgy without the battery on just USB. To remedy this, you can solder in a capacitor which is included in your bag. Please note the capacitor is polarized, the negative terminal (short wire, white marking on capacitor) should point towards the Campzone/Deloitte logo.

  • Before you begin, unplug USB cable and remove battery.
  • Bend and cut the leads and solder in place.
