On the GitHub Podcast, Martin Woodward breaks down the engineering journey behind the GitHub Universe badge, from early e-ink prototypes built with Pimoroni to full color screens powered by the RP2040 chip. Discover how the hardware team solved real battery safety challenges and why they added an accelerometer to automatically flip the screen 180 degrees whenever you look down at it.
