maker-documented hardware interface
The maker targets DC34's right SAO port, identifies a 2 by 3 SAO 1.69bis header, and describes 3.0 V badge or USB-C power. This is an implementation-specific maker statement, not a universal fit, rail budget, hot-plug, electrical-safety, or compatibility guarantee.

maker-published engineering documentation
Primary source for the DC34-targeted 3.0 V and right-port context, I2C descriptor surface, production changes, accepted IOVDD exception, and TFT-footprint correction. It documents a maker design, not every unit's behavior or a safe modification procedure.
Badge: INSPECTRON 34 SAO (DEF CON 34)
maker-published hardware and firmware archive
Public independent-project repository for INSPECTRON 34. It documents the add-on's technical, production, and post-conference firmware trail, but does not establish DEF CON organizer issuance, ticket inclusion, universal host compatibility, or image reuse.
Badge: INSPECTRON 34 SAO (DEF CON 34)
maker-published production and firmware history
Primary post-conference source for the 30-board run, maker-reported sales/disposition, V4 event firmware context, and V5 release. It is not an independent sales audit, recipient ledger, or final-unit inventory.
Badge: INSPECTRON 34 SAO (DEF CON 34)
maker-published project documentation
Primary project overview for the retro-TV add-on form, RP2040/flash/TFT/CircuitPython surface, USB GIF loading, SAO/USB-C power claims, and independent/unofficial status. It is not a final production ledger, complete safety evaluation, or reusable-image grant.
Badge: INSPECTRON 34 SAO (DEF CON 34)
public CircuitPython firmware source
Public firmware tree for the maker-described application and test surface. It is linked as provenance rather than a supported update or recovery instruction, security review, or guarantee of the firmware installed on any particular unit.
Badge: INSPECTRON 34 SAO (DEF CON 34)
public KiCad hardware source
Public hardware tree containing the KiCad project and production material. Its presence does not establish a complete BOM, exact event-unit revision, safe fabrication/modification procedure, electrical compliance, or a cleared raster image.
Badge: INSPECTRON 34 SAO (DEF CON 34)
repository license
The repository's MIT license covers code and original design files, while expressly excluding its third-party GIF content, the DEF CON name, and DC34 logo artwork. It therefore does not supply a rights-cleared gallery image.

Primary technical source for the post-conference status, JLCPCB quickturn, hand-assembly, maker-reported sales, hardware revisions, DC34 power/interface assumptions, and software layout. It does not replace independent manufacture, safety, compatibility, or recipient evidence.

Primary maker-published timeline for the 30-board run, about-20 sales statement, fleet disposition, V4 event firmware, and August 11 V5 update. These are source-attributed maker statements, not a third-party allocation or quality audit.

Primary public project archive identifying INSPECTRON 34 as a DEF CON 34 retro-TV Simple Add-On. It establishes a maker-published independent project, not DEF CON authorization, admission use, ticket inclusion, an official BadgeLife role, or image rights.

Primary source-license statement: MIT for repository code and original design files, with explicit exclusions for third-party GIFs, DEF CON name, and DC34 logo artwork. It does not grant image reuse for an asset containing excluded material.

Primary maker documentation for the stated RP2040, 16 MB flash, ST7789V display, CircuitPython, USB-drive GIF, SAO, USB-C, and unofficial-community-add-on surfaces. It does not establish complete production parity, electrical safety, support, or reusable project media.
