public pre-event firmware source
The project's MVP note identifies the Arduino/C++ tree as the live implementation and describes visual/interactions work. This establishes accessible current project source, not a tagged release, reproducible build, compiled attendee image, device configuration, flashing/support workflow, final feature set, or proof that it ran on a distributed badge.

primary firmware, hardware, and interaction note
The commit-pinned README names DEF CON 34 badge firmware for an ESP32-C3, 240×320 ST7789 IPS panel, capacitive touch controller at I2C 0x15, and a swipe/tap no-button interface. It does not establish final hardware, production, or a deployed event firmware image.

Primary commit-pinned firmware documentation naming an ESP32-C3, 240×320 ST7789 IPS display, capacitive touch at I2C 0x15, and swipe/tap interaction without buttons. The documentation supports those narrow project-level claims only, not an exact board design, final physical unit, or completed event deployment.
