#LCA2021 SwagBadge Web Control Panel

A basic control panel for your Linux Conference Australia 2021 SwagBadge. The included basic web interface allows you to clear the screen and push text to the screen.

The API also allows you to do everything that can be done through the web interface as well as turn individual pixels on.

It communicates with the badge over MQTT and is designed to work with the stock firmware/code on the badge.

Note:

As of 24/1/21 an update for the swagbadge has being released (v05), which adds a "time since reset" timer to the screen.
While strictly speaking this doesn't interfere with this project, it does produce some interesting side effects.
To prevent these side-effects, you can disable this timer by editing the file /applications/swagbadge.py and changing these lines:

def swagbadge_handler():
    global timer
    hours, minutes, seconds = convert_time(timer)
    timer += 1
    text = "{:02d}:{:02d}:{:02d}".format(hours, minutes, seconds)
    screen = aiko.oled.oleds[0]
    screen.fill_rect(0, 16, 128, 8, 0)
    screen.text(text, 0, 16)
    screen.show()

to this:

def swagbadge_handler():
    # global timer
    # hours, minutes, seconds = convert_time(timer)
    # timer += 1
    # text = "{:02d}:{:02d}:{:02d}".format(hours, minutes, seconds)
    # screen = aiko.oled.oleds[0]
    # screen.fill_rect(0, 16, 128, 8, 0)
    # screen.text(text, 0, 16)
    # screen.show()
    pass
