Note to self, the distance between the SAO headers on my first oshpark penghicorn badge is 4.1inches (rounded) or 104.177366mm according to eagle file imported to kicad. Not sure I will make something with that.

The order at LCSC got here quicker than the NRF24 and CC1101 modules, in fact I'm still waiting for them! Still I had to prepare kits and label what was needed on them. Most of them aren't that bad, just missing an optional LiPo connector for badges that can also be powered by three AAA batteries. They're still nice ESP8266 based badges, but with no "extended RF range". There are #Shitty Add-Ons as well and some stickers.

35C3 is in 17 days and I'm missing some parts - so I panic ordered some parts on LCSC.com, just to notice in checkout that for DHL express shipping they now want a VAT number. Hmm. Normal post it is then, let's hope all the stuff arrives before I leave to my grandparents place.
The only crucial parts missing are, apart from the hopefully soon arriving CC1101 and NRF modules: the CH340C and some neopixels. I should have added the crystal and caps pads for the CH340G just in case something like this would happen.. also I can't find my bag of neopixels.
Some parts I have to bodge on, for example some parts are 0805 and go on 0603 pads or vice-versa, but that should be fine.
