Every time i touch my WHY Badge i'm pissed.
It's really cool Hardware, don't get me wrong. And i really appreciate the effort of the developers.
But the "Battery-Gate" around it and the handling (smearing UV epoxy ALL OVER IT) has destroyed it for me...
Today i found out about the Meshtastic hack for it and realised to solder a piece of wire to the needed pins i have to remove about 3 mm of UV resin..
If someone has a hint how to remove uv-resin without destroying the badge please tell me

@tortoc Sadly don't have a hint for you. Actually haven't touched mine ever since the event for the same reason. And now that it's been a few months, I'm indeed pretty sure that was my last event from this orga/event chain. When I look back at both CCCamps I've been to I just smile at all the great memories. When I look back at WHY I mostly remember bad stuff like the badge and the water situation, the expensive food etc. Kinda sad, but I'm too old for that shit 😄
