maker-documented interaction and maintenance
The documentation names an SC7A20H accelerometer, ambient-light detection, three rear program buttons, one front touch sensor, fifteen configurable programs, USB-C firmware updates, and a USB-mounted configuration mode. It says the badge reduces clock speed when waiting and can enter low power when no movement is detected, but does not provide measured power, battery, host, update, or recovery results.

maker-published badge index
The trueControl BASIC index lists Cobalt DC34 under DEF CON 34 at LVCC and labels it a corporate commission. It establishes the publisher's own event association and classification, not DEF CON issuance, a commissioning party, funding, allocation, attendee eligibility, or a completed handoff.

maker-published firmware and schematic archive
Public trueControl repository for Cobalt DC34. Its description calls it a RP2040-driven badge, and its committed source tree includes firmware and a schematic directory. Public availability is evidence of an archive, not a reusable-image or broad source-license grant.
