IEEE Rising Stars 2026 Conference Badge Project pre-event source snapshot; event deployment unverified

pre-event public firmware-development source

A December 13 SEAL-Embedded snapshot frames a Raspberry Pi Pico W BLE interest-matching project as an IEEE Rising Stars Conference badge and includes `aioble` advertising/scanning code. A later repository README describes an ESP32 redesign, not an event-unit release.

SEAL pre-event IEEE Rising Stars source snapshot

Immutable December 13, 2025 SEAL-Embedded snapshot. Its README calls the work an IEEE Rising Stars Conference networking badge using Raspberry Pi Pico W BLE, and its tree contains `aioble` advertising/scanning source. The official Badge Project page does not identify this repository or link it to a physical 2026 prototype.

Badge Project

Primary post-event source stating that all attendees received bare PCBs with no components, about five manually assembled advanced badges were prototyped, and full automated assembly was not achieved. It also documents the manual-assembly constraints, linked schematic/BOM, CircuitPython prototype note, PCBWay sponsorship, and Badge Design Lead credit.

SEAL Conference-Badge pre-event source snapshot

Immutable December 13, 2025 source snapshot, published before the January conference. Its own README frames the work as an IEEE Rising Stars Conference BLE networking badge targeted at Raspberry Pi Pico W, and the repository contains MicroPython `aioble` source. It is primary development evidence but is not organizer-linked and does not establish that it ran on any of the approximately five advanced 2026 prototypes.
