C1B3RTR4CKS 2026 CH32V003 Badge

Source-backed RGB LED-matrix event badge

SEIF-UAM's public C1B3RTR4CKS 2026 badge repository documents an event badge with a CH32V003 RISC-V microcontroller, 8×16 RGB LED matrix, five-button control surface, public C firmware, games, and a personal-name marquee. The official event site and a contemporaneous attendee report place the physical artifact at the completed May 29 Madrid event; final allocation and production details are not public.

Why It Mattered

This begins a documented university cybersecurity-conference badge lineage in Madrid with a real event artifact and source-published firmware, not only an event registration or social-media image. It also shows a compact LED-matrix badge used as a community learning and game surface while keeping its credential and production scope explicit.

Hardware

The event guide describes a wearable game-console badge built around a CH32V003 RISC-V microcontroller, an 8×16 RGB LED matrix, and five physical buttons. The public PlatformIO configuration targets `ch32v003f4p6_evt_r0`, while source files show an I²C-driven three-channel matrix surface. No public schematic, PCB files, bill of materials, battery/power specification, final board revision, or manufacturing record was recovered in this pass.

Software & Apps

SEIF-UAM publishes C and PlatformIO event firmware with a menu, marquee, name editor, and several compact games. The catalogue records that public software surface without reproducing flashing, build, button, or hidden-feature instructions, and without assuming the repository's current source is a release-identical image of every event unit.

Lore

A contemporaneous attendee report describes the badge as the event credential and notes its LED matrix, buttons, game collection, and limited availability. That supports its lived conference role, but does not establish a universal recipient count, technical access-control behavior, or any particular attendee's finished configuration.

8×16 RGB matrix and five-button surface

The public event guide describes an 8×16 RGB LED matrix and five physical buttons on the wearable game-console badge, while the event source targets a CH32V003 board.

Personal-name marquee

The event guide documents a personal-name editor and scrolling marquee as attendee-facing firmware features; it does not establish whether all handed-out badges shared the same final configuration.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

credential allocation and recipient boundary note

A contemporaneous report describes the physical badge as the event credential and says badges were limited, but recovered sources do not state a final quantity, ticket entitlement, recipient ledger, variant allocation, access-control technology, or completed handoff record.

The dossier documents a real badge at the event without turning an attendee observation into an unsupported universal issuance or credential-system claim.

firmware release and challenge boundary note

The organizer-linked repository exposes source and user documentation, but no tagged event release, signed image, installation ledger, or complete post-event challenge archive was recovered. The catalogue intentionally withholds operational use instructions and any claim about exact source-to-unit parity.

Public code remains an important preservation resource without being presented as a verified reproduction image or complete challenge solution set.

formal license and repository-media boundary note

Observed GitHub metadata reports no formal repository license, and the README's embedded badge media lacks the complete image-specific reuse license or permission basis, attribution, and processing provenance required by this catalogue.

The public source is linked for evidence, but no repository attachment, official-page image, or social-media image is copied into the catalogue and the badge remains image-free.

hardware and production archive gap note

The public guide and firmware establish the controller, LED matrix, buttons, and software surface, but no recovered source provides schematic, PCB files, BOM, battery/power specification, final hardware revision, manufacturing record, test record, or firmware image/hash installed on event units.

The record stays precise about the documented interface while avoiding claims that the current source tree exactly describes each physical unit.

missing rights-cleared image note

No C1B3RTR4CKS 2026 CH32V003 Badge image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

The Spain record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
