ATtiny1614 infrared-capable electronic crab badge
A completed CSIDES 2025 electronic PCB badge created by the event's badge sponsor, Punk Security. The organizer's sources and Eventbrite listing establish the October 3 Grand Pier community cybersecurity conference in Weston-super-Mare; Punk Security's own event page calls it the custom badge sponsor and identifies an infrared-capable badge. Its post-event public repository identifies the crab badge, preserves board, schematic, Gerber, firmware, and artwork material, and names an ATtiny1614, buttons, two CR2032 clips, 5050 NeoPixel, trimmer, capacitor, transistor, and 940 nm infrared LEDs. The sources do not establish a production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, electrical-safety result, device-interaction outcome, or reusable image provenance.
People
CSIDES' official sponsor page and organizer Eventbrite listing establish the completed 2025 community cybersecurity conference. This preserves event context only, not badge design, manufacture, distribution, image-rights, or source-archive ownership.
SourcePunk Security's event listing identifies it as the 2025 CSIDES badge sponsor, and its public repository identifies the Crab Badge and preserves source material. This credit reflects the publicly named sponsor/maker/archive roles without assigning attendee allocation, authorized-use, safety, event-organizer authority, or image rights.
SourceIt adds a verified 2025 United Kingdom community cybersecurity-conference artifact with organizer-side event proof, maker-side sponsorship proof, and a public source archive. It makes the source-described infrared capability discoverable without converting it into operating advice, asserting specific device results, or assuming the badge was a universal admission credential.
The public repository describes an ATtiny1614 microcontroller, one surface-mount button, one normally closed reset-button footprint, two CR2032 battery clips, one 5050 NeoPixel addressable LED, a 100-ohm trimmer, a 100 µF capacitor, an NPN transistor, and 940 nm infrared LEDs. It preserves EAGLE board/schematic, Gerber, silkscreen-art, and firmware material. The sources do not establish final part substitutions, IR-emitter output, battery brand/capacity, power budget, electrical limits, production revision, assembly quality, regulatory status, or safety outcome for every physical unit.
Punk Security's archive preserves an Arduino firmware sketch and identifies an inherited infrared-control code lineage. The record does not reproduce payload data, timing, configuration, flashing, connection, modification, target-selection, or use directions and does not claim a tagged release, signed binary, source-to-unit mapping, support policy, or all-unit firmware parity.
CSIDES describes itself as a community-led, not-for-profit coastal cybersecurity event; its 2025 sponsors page looks back on the completed inaugural edition. The organizer's Eventbrite listing records the October 3 conference at Grand Pier, while Punk Security's dated event listing says it was badge sponsor and brought a custom badge with infrared capability. The maker's archive calls the physical form a cyborg crab; that source description is preserved without publishing or recommending device-control behavior.
Source-backed hardware metadata
Structured technical signals seeded from public badge documentation, repositories, schematics, firmware notes, or event evidence. These fields are designed for filtering, API use, repair planning, preservation, and future Companion Gear matching.
Punk Security's public repository identifies the Crab Badge as the CSIDES 2025 electronic badge. It does not establish attendee-wide allocation, final unit parity, or image rights.
Signal sourceThe public repository describes an infrared-capable feature and names infrared LEDs in its parts list. This high-level signal does not establish safe operation, output, range, target behavior, compliance, final-unit parity, or authorized use.
Signal sourceThe repository's parts list names one 5050 NeoPixel addressable LED. The signal does not establish package substitutions, current budget, brightness, power behavior, or final-unit parity.
Signal sourceThe repository's parts list names two CR2032 surface-mount battery clips. It does not establish battery brand, capacity, protection, power budget, runtime, electrical safety, or final-unit parity.
Signal sourceThe public firmware is an Arduino sketch with a documented inherited infrared-control code lineage. This records software provenance, not a supported or safe configuration, modification, or operating procedure.

Lifecycle
Punk Security's own event listing identifies it as CSIDES 2025 badge sponsor, and its public repository identifies the Crab Badge for the event. This establishes a maker/sponsor event association without claiming the event organizer owned the archive or that every attendee received a unit.
SourcePunk Security's event listing and repository describe an infrared-capable feature and source material. This preserves high-level functionality provenance without publishing use, configuration, targeting, payload, timing, operating, modification, or device-interaction instructions or claims.
SourceThe repository calls the artifact a cyborg crab, preserves EAGLE and Gerber material, and describes full-colour printed board artwork. This records source-described physical/art context without claiming that every delivered unit used an identical final board, art revision, assembly quality, or manufacturing finish.
SourcePunk Security's public repository preserves board, schematic, Gerber, artwork, firmware, and code-lineage material. The archive is linked for provenance without presenting it as a licensed derivative-work, manufacturing, configuration, flashing, operational, or safety guide.
SourceOperational history
The catalogue records a completed event-associated electronic badge without turning sponsorship or attendance evidence into a universal allocation claim.
The record preserves a source-backed hardware outline without treating public project material as a fabrication, repair, electrical-safety, or universal final-unit specification.
The catalogue links source evidence without presenting it as a supported, reproducible, current, authorized, or safe modification workflow.
The catalogue makes the event-artifact feature auditable while declining to provide operational guidance or to infer authorized, safe, reliable, or successful use.
The United Kingdom record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
Source files and public project material are cited as evidence, but no local image, artwork, source file, or brand asset is copied or treated as licensed for reuse.
