I had to knock the rust off the 555’s pinout, and I was working off someone else’s schematic. Even with it in front of me I made mistakes on the breadboard and had to track them down before it finally ran.https://blog.wolftech0110.com/posts/building-a-hackerspace-badge---part-1---finding-the-circuit/Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.wolftech0110.com/posts/building-a-hackerspace-badge---part-1---finding-the-circuit/Part 1 of 4 — Building a HackerSpace Badge · Next: Building on the Breadboard One night at Bit Haven, one of the founders mentioned wanting a custom badge for the space. They weren’t sure exactly what they wanted, but I let them know I had a degree in Electronics Engineering and could probably make one. That conversation kicked off my journey toward building the badge. For anyone who hasn’t been to one, a hackerspace is a community workshop where people share tools, benches, and knowledge to build things such as electronics, software, hardware, cybersecurity, whatever you’re into.
