Why It Mattered

It adds Western Australia's inaugural BSides badge lineage to Oceania coverage and captures a community-built approach that combined off-the-shelf ESP8266-era modules, acrylic fabrication, Arduino software, and public source release.

Hardware

The official blog summary lists Wemos D1 Mini, OLED Shield, RGB Shield, switched AA battery holder, and a laser-cut and etched acrylic panel badge base. This pass does not infer custom PCB details beyond the published component stack.

Software & Apps

The official blog says all code was written using the Arduino IDE and points to the public BSidesPerth/Badge-2017 GitHub repository, which preserves the Arduino sketch and local SSD1306 display library files.

Lore

The blog post was published after attendees gave positive feedback on the first-year badges, so the record represents post-event documentation rather than pre-event marketing copy.

Lifecycle

Add-ons & Upgrades

firmware source archived

Arduino IDE source archive

The official blog points to a public GitHub repository preserving the Arduino IDE sketch and display-support files for the 2017 badge.

Issues & Camp Impact

missing rights-cleared image note

No local BSides Perth 2017 badge image is published because the official blog images and repository page have not been paired with explicit image reuse rights, source URL, attribution, and processing notes.

The entry stays source-backed and image-free rather than copying site imagery or using a generated approximation.

repository license caveat note

The public Badge-2017 repository preserves source files, but this pass did not recover a top-level license covering code, documentation, or any repository images.

The catalogue can cite the repository as evidence while avoiding image or source reuse beyond attribution and linking.
