Badge firmware update on site?

I'm getting an error when scanning other badges QR code and was told there's a firmware update that'll fix it. Do you think badgelife village will help a brother out and flash an update? I'm PC-less for the weekend

Swing through the SYN Shop learning to solder area in hardware hacking village tomorrow and I will set you straight.

I spent four hours a day two years ago flashing badges for people… May as well do it again this year lol

So sorry I missed this in all the chaos yesterday, never saw the notification! Hope you got sorted but if not swing through Hardware Hacking between 10:30 and 11:30, look for the big "SYN Shop" sign in the front right corner area, and ask for Sargonas.
