Orion Trail Edition

• MCU: RP2350 / Pico 2 — dual Cortex-M33, 16 MB external QSPI flash.
• Firmware: "Wayfarer" v0.1, Pico SDK 2.2.0, plain GCC C.
• LEDs: 9× WS2812-style RGB on GPIO24 (PIO0 SM1). Chase speed = 170 − 5 × (achievement bits set) ms — the lights speed up as you unlock more.
• Buttons: 5 + a C button. Hold B at power-on for self-test.
• Save chip: external I²C EEPROM at 0x50 — handle, role, achievement bitmask, votes, 15 flight-log slots. (Not in the flash image.)
• Offline jumper: GPIO29, read at boot with a pull-up; low = offline mode.
• USB: CDC serial console at 1200 baud; BOOTSEL for flashing.

Full write-up, symbol table and the signer tool are in the repository README.

There are 32 achievements (one bit each). Lighting them all includes #5 Full Complement and #6 A Crew of Specialists, so a full crew comes with the set. Each achievement from bit 2–31 has a secret UNLOCK code; the two without one are Thirty Lives (Konami code on the buttons) and First Departure (finish one run).

The easy way needs no flashing: it sends the 30 codes to the game console over USB serial — the same thing tools/unlock_all.py does, straight from this page. Use the flasher below.

Offline mode makes the badge self-contained: the title shows OFFLINE MODE, every run starts with a full crew of 5 (random roles), and it awards Manual Override. Offline runs aren't written to the flight-log slots.

Two ways to turn it on:

• Jumper (no flashing): tie GPIO29 low as the badge powers on.
• Firmware: flash a build that forces the offline flag at boot (patch the GPIO29 read in FUN_100004e4). Build and verify it in an emulator first (see the repo), then flash it with the Flash image control below.
