public firmware build and test surface
The README documents Arduino-compatible firmware and PlatformIO profiles for normal, demo, and factory-test builds, including tests for LED order, orientation, and shake sensing. The code and documentation do not establish a public tagged event release, production test log, safe user modification path, support obligation, or actual configuration in an assembled badge.

FirstBuild public badge firmware repository
Official FirstBuild organization repository whose description calls it firmware for the 2026 DefCon 34 Badge by FirstBuild and whose README identifies a FirstBuild / GE Appliances washer/dryer badge. It publishes software and project documentation, not final distribution, production, or image-reuse proof.
Badge: FirstBuild / GE Appliances Washer/Dryer Badge (DEF CON 34)
badge hardware and firmware documentation
Primary project documentation for the washer/dryer theme, current STM32G031F8P6/MXC6655XA/eight-SK6805 production target, earlier KB2040 prototype, motion-responsive LED behavior, factory-test intent, and source-release policy. It does not prove a final manufactured configuration or recipient handoff.

firmware release and compliance documentation
Project guide describing intended source and physical-badge firmware distribution, expected tagged releases, source/notice/archive contents, hashes, and SWD installation material. It states policy and desired release process, not a completed published release, a delivered badge population, or a safe end-user modification instruction.

first-person public pre-event giveaway update
A public r/Defcon post by u/bobbythelee says its author is returning with the stated GE Appliances booth in IoT Village, has another 100 free badges to give away, and will distribute an unspecified number per day. It describes a cartoon UltraFast Washer/Dryer Combo with an infinity mirror and motion-responsive water animation; a comment says artwork, PCB design, and software were done in-house at FirstBuild. The public account does not independently establish its author's employment, formal FirstBuild or GE Appliances authority, official booth authorization, exact daily allocation, eligibility, physical stock, completed delivery, or image-reuse rights.

official event site
Official DEF CON source for the August 6-9, 2026 Las Vegas event context. It separately announces the Baochip Human badge and does not identify the FirstBuild washer/dryer project as the conference credential, an official attendee entitlement, a badge allocation, or a reuse grant for project images.
Badge: FirstBuild / GE Appliances Washer/Dryer Badge (DEF CON 34)
public release status
GitHub release surface reviewed on 2026-08-05. No release or tag was published at that point, so the repository documentation does not identify a final event firmware archive or a public build-to-badge mapping.
Badge: FirstBuild / GE Appliances Washer/Dryer Badge (DEF CON 34)
published schematic PDF
Published FirstBuild repository schematic PDF for the project. Its presence supports a public circuit-documentation trail without establishing a complete native-CAD archive, BOM, final PCB revision, fabrication outcome, or safety/production signoff.

software and documentation license
Root MIT license naming the DefCon 34 Badge Team, FirstBuild, and GE Appliances for software and associated documentation. It is not treated as a specific license or permission for the credited badge artwork, project photo, logos, trademarks, or external event media.

Primary organizer source for the DEF CON 34 event setting and its separately announced official Baochip Human badge. It establishes event context but does not call the FirstBuild / GE Appliances washer/dryer project an official Human badge, admission credential, attendee handout, or organizer-issued artifact.

Primary FirstBuild documentation identifying the washer/dryer badge, FirstBuild / GE Appliances context, STM32G031F8P6, MXC6655XA, eight SK6805 side-emitting LEDs, gravity-responsive water effect, prototype profile, factory-test surfaces, and tagged-release policy. The wording describes a current production target and planned distribution process rather than a final produced or delivered batch.

Primary published circuit-documentation source for the FirstBuild project. It confirms that a schematic PDF is public but does not establish a native hardware source, complete BOM, final PCB fabrication, component availability, test results, power safety, regulatory status, or a reusable image license.

Primary official-organization repository whose description calls it the firmware for the 2026 DefCon 34 Badge by FirstBuild. It establishes a current public event-associated badge project and source trail, not final quantity, availability, delivery, official DEF CON status, physical-badge parity, or reusable-image rights.

Primary project policy source saying the project is intended for source and firmware installed on physical badges, and describing tagged permanent releases with source, notices, objects, hashes, and installation material. It does not prove a badge giveaway, release publication, distribution count, completed manufacturing, or end-user safety.
