History

In 2021, the BornHack electronic badge was based on a perfboard due to the chip shortage. [7] The 2021 camp was also captured in Google Maps' aerial pictures. [8]

In 2022, Thomas Flummer developed a badge based on the RP2040, for which software can be developed in CircuitPython. [9]

During BornHack there is a field specifically designed for loud noise, with a noise barrier made from soil. A Dutch hacker brought an old civil defense siren for testing purposes. Within a few minutes, four separate phone calls were made to the Danish police from houses located a large distance from BornHack. [10]
