r0ket
r0ket is an electronic name tag and much more.
Proudly display your nick on
Camp 2011 and future events
Have fun with the camp-applications or alternate firmwares
Use it as foundation for your own microelectronics project
Provide an interesting component as a
m0dul for your event or workshop and rely on r0ket for the basics like display, CPU, power supply and RF
Rapidly develop for and with diverse hardware by combining extensions designed by the community
Motivation
After collecting lots of badges form different events (defcon, hope, troopers 11, eh2010, …), each with it's own great features and applications, the following went through our heads:
It's a pity that you usually can't use them again for a different event
Development after the event is rare and little acknowledged
Usually you end up with heaps of empty batteries
Most of the budget goes to standard parts, reinventing the same basic functionality again and again
Features
r0ket aims to be a really useful event badge in itself while also providing a solid foundation for future extensions
Based on ARM Cortex M3 32-Bit microcontroller
Unbrickable, no-programmer-needed USB-bootloader
High capacity lithium-polymer battery, rechargeable via USB
2.4
GHz radio interface (and maybe optical communication, be surprised)
Sockets for extensions (
m0duls and hackerbus)
