Pimoroni Badger 2040 Quick Start! Customizing the badge app settings.

!!! Updated video here. Easier process to follow for images now with current firmware!    • UPDATED Pimoroni Badger 2040, 2040W Quick ...   !!! In this video I check out and customize the Pimoroni Badger 2040 I'd ordered to use at VCFMW2022. I ordered it too late so it didn't arrive in time. Now that the dust has settled from VCFMW however, I figured I'd tinker with it a bit and share the results. I think something like this could be of interest to fellow retro/security/etc nerds that attend conferences and want a custom/dynamic badge. The badge functionality is just scratching the surface of what you can do with these things though. A very fun & hackable little piece of kit here Pimoroni have made available.
