CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 Compass Badge
ATtiny412 and LIS2MDLTR electronic compass badge
A completed CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 electronic PCB badge documented by its maker, Punk Security, as a compass badge distributed at the Community Conference. CyberNorth's official 2025 materials place that conference on October 7 at Newcastle Civic Centre within its month-long northeast England cybersecurity festival. The public maker archive names an ATtiny412, button, CR2032 clip, 5050 NeoPixel, and LIS2MDLTR three-axis magnetometer, and preserves EAGLE, EasyEDA, Gerber, firmware, and board-art material. The sources do not establish a production count, recipient ledger, final unit-by-unit configuration, calibrated field performance, electrical-safety result, or reusable image provenance.

Authors & Credits
Punk Security
Punk Security's public repository identifies the CyberNorth CyberFest Compass Badge and preserves source material, including its broad conference-distribution statement. This credit reflects the publicly named maker/archive role without assigning event-organizer authority, final physical-unit distribution, safety, or image rights.
SourceWhy It Mattered
It fills a source-backed 2025 United Kingdom cybersecurity-conference gap with direct organizer event evidence and a maker-published electronic badge archive. The record preserves the repository's distribution statement while separating it from an unrecovered attendee count, named-recipient ledger, and final production evidence.
Hardware
The public maker archive describes an ATtiny412 microcontroller, one surface-mount button, CR2032 battery clip, one 5050 NeoPixel addressable LED, and LIS2MDLTR three-axis magnetometer, with EAGLE board/schematic, EasyEDA project, and Gerber material. It says the badge used a full-colour printed PCB and had selected components placed during manufacture. The sources do not establish final component substitutions, battery brand/capacity, power budget, protection behavior, runtime, electrical limits, production revision, assembly quality, or safety outcome for every physical unit.
Software & Apps
Punk Security's source archive preserves an Arduino firmware sketch for the badge's LED and compass behavior. The record does not reproduce flashing, configuration, calibration, modification, or hardware-connection directions and does not claim a tagged release, signed binary, source-to-unit mapping, support policy, or all-unit firmware parity.
Lore
CyberNorth describes CyberFest as its annual northeast England cybersecurity festival and identifies the October 7 Community Conference as its flagship 2025 conference at Newcastle Civic Centre. Punk Security's post-event archive calls this the CyberNorth CyberFest compass badge and says it was given out at the conference, designed to point north. The maker describes magnetic-environment interference and a deliberately coarse compass indication; those source statements are retained as feature context rather than a universal accuracy or user-experience claim.

Magnetic compass feature
The maker archive describes a compass mode built around a three-axis magnetometer, with an intentionally coarse bearing indication and magnetic-environment limitations. This preserves feature context without asserting calibrated accuracy, user outcome, or final-unit parity.

maker-documented source archive
Full-colour printed PCB and partial-assembly trail
The maker says the badge used full-colour printed PCB artwork and selected components were placed during manufacture. This records the source-described manufacture context without inferring a complete supplier record, production count, final materials, inspection plan, or quality outcome.

Issues & Camp Impact
compass calibration, accuracy, and field-result boundary
note
The maker archive describes a magnetic compass feature, ambient-interference limits, and an intentionally coarse bearing display. It does not publish a calibrated reference, test conditions, accuracy/error figures, per-unit calibration record, participant-use result, field-reliability report, or a claim that every supplied unit produced the same outcome.
The catalogue records a source-described interactive feature without turning it into navigation guidance, an accuracy assurance, or a universal user-experience claim.

conference allocation, recipient, and handoff boundary
note
CyberNorth establishes the October 7 Community Conference and Punk Security's source archive says the Compass Badge was given out to all attendees. The reviewed sources do not give an attendee count, production quantity, ticket-tier scope, named recipient list, pickup/handoff record, replacement policy, or proof of final physical-unit equality.
The catalogue preserves a completed conference-associated electronic badge without turning a maker's broad distribution statement into a recipient ledger or guaranteed universal entitlement.

final hardware, power, and electrical-safety gap
note
The repository names an ATtiny412, button, CR2032 clip, 5050 NeoPixel, and LIS2MDLTR magnetometer and preserves board/design material, but reviewed sources do not establish final component substitutions, battery brand/capacity, polarity/protection behavior, power budget, runtime, electrical limits, thermal result, assembly quality, manufacturing test plan, certification, compliance, or safe service outcome.
The record preserves a source-backed hardware outline without treating public project material as a fabrication, repair, electrical-safety, or universal final-unit specification.

note
The source tree includes a firmware sketch and external development references, but reviewed sources do not establish a tagged final release, signed binary, source-to-unit mapping, build lockfile, deployment inventory, update policy, recovery process, support lifecycle, or safe end-user operating, calibration, or reconfiguration procedure. No flashing, configuration, or connection directions are reproduced here.
The catalogue links source evidence without presenting it as a supported, reproducible, current, or safe modification workflow.

missing rights-cleared image
note
No CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 Compass 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 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-license, visual-material, and branding scope boundary
note
GitHub metadata reports a null detected license for the repository, and no root LICENSE or COPYING file was recovered in the public tree. The public repo contains board images and artwork, but neither it nor CyberNorth's pages pair a selected factual badge photo or official render with an image-specific reuse basis, named attribution, source URL, and processing provenance.
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.
