BTV Camera Badge (DEF CON 34 Fundraiser)
Pre-event BTV fundraiser for a DC32-origin ESP32 camera badge
Blue Team Village at DEF CON's Eventbrite offer schedules the BTV Camera Badge as a DEF CON 34 fundraiser for August 7-9, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall, with in-person village pickup only. It offers an assembled badge and lanyard for $120 or an intermediate-to-advanced soldering kit for $60. The listing says the badge does not take photos; instead, in an appropriate mode, its camera-lens display shows when deauthentication packets are being sent or Flipper Zeros are nearby, and says its brain is an ESP32 board capable of custom software. BTV's public MIT `btv_dc32_badge` archive explicitly describes the artifact as a DEF CON 32 indie badge and preserves its Arduino source, KiCad project, Gerbers, CAD/fabrication files, parts list, and assembly guide. This is a current source-backed fundraiser for a documented DC32-origin design, not evidence of a newly engineered DEF CON 34 hardware revision, completed pickup, final 2026 firmware, radio-detection performance, electrical safety, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

SourceBlue Team Village at DEF CON
The Eventbrite page identifies Blue Team Village at DEF CON as the organizer and says proceeds help its 501(c)(3) free-content/community work.
SourceWhy It Mattered
It preserves a rare case where a current village fundraiser is traceable to an accessible, MIT-licensed earlier badge archive without flattening the two timeframes into one asserted product revision. The record makes the sale terms, assembly surface, source code, and hardware files discoverable while leaving explicit room for a real production-revision, fulfillment, safety, performance, credential, and image-provenance record if primary evidence later appears.
Hardware
The 2026 Eventbrite kit list names top and bottom PCBs, a screen, an `ESP23 Dev Board /w connector`, a three-pin switch, three addressable LEDs, five blue LEDs, a bright white LED, eight 47 Ω resistors, three 50 V capacitors, a 3.7 V / 1,200 mAh LiPo, headers, and a 2×3 keyed SAO connector. The preserved DC32 parts and assembly documentation calls the display a 1.28-inch 240×240 GC9A01 round TFT and identifies its dev board as an ESP32 Lite V1.0.0 / ESP32 REV1 CH340G 4 MB Type-C board with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LiPo connector, and charging circuit. It also documents WS2811 addressable LEDs, a keyed 2×3 SAO header, and battery wiring/charging instructions. The sources do not map the current fundraiser's physical units to a finalized 2026 board revision, exact source commit, full manufacturing BOM, pinout, dimensions, charger settings, RF tests, or certification.
Software & Apps
The MIT DC32 archive documents Arduino IDE/CLI setup for an ESP32 Dev Module, an Adafruit NeoPixel dependency, a minimal-SPIFFS build configuration, and `camera_badge_rev01` as the then-loaded sketch. That source uses ESP32 promiscuous Wi-Fi filtering and counts deauthentication management frames while channel hopping; it also uses BLE scans that increment a counter for two source-labelled Flipper MAC prefixes. Those implementation details corroborate the general detection-themed presentation but do not establish that the August 2026 fundraiser units ship that exact code, that a matching Bluetooth address identifies every Flipper Zero, that any alert is accurate, or that monitoring is suitable in every setting. The DC32 quickstart also describes a precompiled CTF library whose source was to be released after that event, so the archive is substantial but not a complete current-2026 software release package.
Lore
Blue Team Village says sale proceeds support its 501(c)(3) work to provide free defensive-security content and community year-round. The current listing says pickup is inside the village during Friday-Sunday village hours at the West Hall, second floor, W213-215 Infobooth, using a QR code or email confirmation, and states no refunds after August 10. It names alt_bier, De-CERT, and emilia as BadgeLife team members, gives an extra shout-out to Sh1tty, and thanks the solderers. These are organizer-published pre-event fundraiser, pickup, and credit statements—not proof of a completed charitable accounting, delivery outcome, attendee entitlement, or a DEF CON-wide official credential.

Keyed 2×3 SAO connector
The current kit list includes a 2×3 SAO connector with wrong-way prevention. The archived assembly guide describes fitting the polarized six-pin header on the top PCB. Neither source publishes a final 2026 pinout, voltage, current budget, connector compatibility matrix, or tested accessory list.

Deauthentication counter and BLE-prefix scan source trail
The Eventbrite listing says an appropriate mode can show deauthentication activity or nearby Flipper Zeros. The archived `camera_badge_rev01` source filters Wi-Fi management/data traffic, counts deauthentication frames while hopping channels, and performs BLE scans that increment a count for two source-labelled Flipper MAC prefixes. That is a source trail, not a validated 2026 alerting, identification, accuracy, privacy, or RF-compliance claim.

DC32-origin ESP32 display and control platform
The current list names a screen, an `ESP23 Dev Board /w connector`, switch, PCBs, and headers. The archived DC32 parts/assembly documentation identifies a 1.28-inch 240×240 GC9A01 round TFT plus an ESP32 Lite V1.0.0 / ESP32 REV1 Type-C Wi-Fi/Bluetooth board with LiPo connection and charging circuit. The sources do not map that documented platform to a verified final 2026 production revision.

Issues & Camp Impact
DC32 design lineage and 2026 revision boundary
note
The 2026 Eventbrite listing offers a BTV Camera Badge, while the linked public technical archive calls its project a DEF CON 32 indie badge. The current list and historical guide both use `ESP23` wording, while the historical parts list identifies an ESP32 board. The reviewed sources do not identify a current 2026 schematic/BOM/PCB revision, manufacturing run, exact firmware commit, build hash, component substitutions, or a definitive mapping from the offered units to the DC32 archive.
The record preserves a justified DC32-source lineage without asserting an undocumented new DC34 board revision, a byte-for-byte 2026 firmware identity, or an error-free production BOM.

LiPo, charging, and kit-assembly safety boundary
note
The sources name a 3.7 V / 1,200 mAh LiPo and a board-side LiPo connection/charging circuit. The historical guide cautions against heating or shorting battery wires and says charging requires the switch on. They do not publish the exact current cell/charger/protection configuration, thermal/current test data, replacement procedure, fault behavior, shipping classification, certification, or a final 2026 safety guide.
The catalogue does not turn an assembly guide or parts list into a battery-service procedure, electrical-safety endorsement, charging assurance, or sanctioned modification instruction.

missing rights-cleared image
note
No BTV Camera Badge image is published because Eventbrite's current fundraiser media and the archive's documentation/repository images do not together identify one selected badge image with explicit reusable permission or license basis, attribution, source URL, and processing notes for local publication.
The current fundraiser and its technical lineage remain source-backed and image-free instead of copying event-listing photos, documentation screenshots, repository media, placeholders, or generated approximations.

pre-event pickup, refund, and fundraiser-outcome boundary
note
The current offer is scheduled for August 7-9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and says pickup only at the BTV Infobooth, with no refunds after August 10. DEF CON 34 has not yet occurred at this source pass, so those terms do not prove final sales, kit availability, assembly volume, pickup, missed-order handling, delivery, charity accounting, or event outcome.
The catalogue records BTV's current terms and 501(c)(3) purpose without converting them into proof of fulfilled orders, completed donations, or a finished event.

note
The repository supplies substantial DC32 Arduino, KiCad, Gerber, CAD, and documentation material under MIT, but has no identified final 2026 product release, signed binary, provisioning record, current-source compatibility statement, rollback/recovery guidance, or support lifecycle. Its quickstart says the CTF portion was a precompiled library whose source was to be released after DEF CON 32.
The catalogue links the preservation source without misrepresenting it as a complete, current, supported, reproducible 2026 field-update package or a full release of every historic CTF component.

note
The Eventbrite page describes a Blue Team Village fundraiser and in-village pickup. It does not say the artifact is DEF CON's official Human badge, is included with DEF CON registration, grants access, is an admission credential, or has a convention-wide production/allocation status.
The catalogue classifies it as a source-backed Blue Team Village fundraiser artifact rather than a substitute for conference registration or the official DEF CON badge.
