=Aim=
The main aim of the 2014 badge is to give camp attendees live schedule updates and notifications. As with the original TiLDA we wanted to keep with an Arduino compatible platform that will allow badge hacking during and after the camp. As with previous badge all code and design files are available.

==Features and Functions==
[[File:Badge_Back.png|right|thumb|Back]]
===Essential===
The following are considers core things that the badge must do for EMF2014
* Receive and display announcements on talks scheduling
** user registers their lanyard and which talks/workshops they are interested in on the emf web site
** lanyard’s registered for talks receives reminders and notice of when and where a talk will be especially important if a talk is moved (time/location)
* Torch Mode
** One of the side effect of the two RGB LED's on TiLDA was they made a great torch
* Arduino Compatible
* Work during the event and be useful afterwards

=Hardware=

The following hardware has been included on the badge.

* [http://www.atmel.com/products/microcontrollers/arm/sam3x.aspx Atmel ATSAM3X8E]
** This is the same chip as the [http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardDue Arduino Due] and gives us the base platform for the badge
** 32bit ARM Cortex M3 * 84MHz
** 512KBytes Flash RAM

=Hacking=
To use our board definition you will need to first get the Arduino 1.5.7 IDE from [http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software#toc3 here] 
Next you can download the TiLDA MKe Firmware project from either the [https://github.com/emfcamp/Mk2-Firmware github repo] or via [https://github.com/emfcamp/Mk2-Firmware/archive/master.zip direct download] 
Now copy the "hardware" folder to your Sketchbook folder, this is usually ~/Sketchbook/ 
or 
Alternative option is to set the Arduino 1.5.7 sketchbook folder to the Mk2-Firmware directory. 

Start the Arduino IDE and your will be able to select TiLDA MKe v0.333 for the Tools->Board menu
