Independent blue/yellow LED Day of the Dead Turkey v2 soldering kit offered for DEF CON 34
Cabinet of Distinctm1nd's live Day of the Dead Turkey v2 product page listed a currently available $12 kit in this August 4, 2026 source pass. It calls the artifact either an oversize minibadge or a standalone badge that can be pinned to a lanyard; in standalone form it uses a CR2032 battery and has blue-or-yellow LED colors. The maker says it requires soldering and that all components are 1206 or larger, then limits DEF CON pickup to buyers planning collection on August 6-8, 2026. The public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response separately lists Day of the Dead Turkey v1, v2 as a new $12 badge and calls it a standalone small badge or a Saintcon minibadge. These sources establish a real planned independent light-up kit and current event association—not the exact distinction between v1 and v2, final circuitry or components, completed fulfillment, SAINTCON distribution, official DEF CON issuance or admission, firmware/source/license terms, or a rights-cleared image.
People
The live v2 product page identifies Cabinet of Distinctm1nd as its vendor. This records a public storefront-publisher role only, not sole hardware/art authorship, manufacture, DEF CON organizer status, completed fulfillment, cultural affiliation, or image-reuse authority.
SourceTurkey v2 is separately offered by the maker, so it remains a distinct edition record even though the reviewed public descriptions do not explain how it differs electrically or mechanically from v1. That source boundary matters: it captures a genuine current BadgeLife artifact without implying an undocumented revision history, a final production state, or compatibility that has not been published.
The maker states that Day of the Dead Turkey v2 can be an oversize minibadge or a standalone lanyard-pinned badge, and that standalone use is powered by a CR2032. It names blue-or-yellow LED colors and a solder-required kit whose components are 1206 or larger. The product page and roster do not identify LED count/model/current, circuit topology, component list, PCB dimensions/materials, battery holder, polarity/protection, voltage/current limits, runtime, switch, connector/pinout, minibadge protocol/compatibility, assembly order, test procedure, safety instructions, compliance, or which described form is supplied to each buyer.
No reviewed primary source identifies a microcontroller, firmware, binary, configuration, programming interface, app, protocol, source repository, build process, update path, security model, or software/hardware license for Day of the Dead Turkey v2. The fact that the maker names LEDs and a CR2032-powered standalone form does not establish programmable behavior or software.
The title and listing present a Day of the Dead Turkey v2 theme, and the public roster describes a paired v1/v2 offer with a Saintcon-minibadge possibility. These are source labels and acquisition context only; they do not establish a creator/artwork authorship chain, cultural or organizational affiliation, SAINTCON distribution, DEF CON sponsorship/endorsement, a final pickup outcome, or permission to reuse storefront or roster media.
Lifecycle
The maker says v2 has either blue or yellow LED colors, is a kit requiring soldering, and uses components that are 1206 or larger. It does not publish LED count/model/current, circuit, resistor values, BOM, PCB files, assembly order, required tools, soldering/ESD precautions, battery safety, runtime, test procedure, firmware, or electrical-safety validation.
SourceThe maker calls v2 either an oversize minibadge or a standalone lanyard-pinned badge and says standalone use is powered by a CR2032. The roster instead calls the offering a standalone small badge or Saintcon minibadge. Neither source settles the final form, dimensions, attachment method, battery holder, polarity, on/off control, minibadge standard, connector/pinout, electrical interface, host compatibility, or which configuration a buyer receives.
SourceThe official v2 product page displayed $12 and available in this August 4, 2026 pass, and says buyers should select DC pickup only when planning DEFCON pickup on August 6-8. These statements do not establish inventory count, paid order count, manufacture, pickup email/location/time, completed handoff, shipment, refund, replacement, support, or post-event availability.
SourceOperational history
The record documents a real kit surface without representing it as electrically characterized, risk-free to assemble, safe for every CR2032 setup, or compatible with every minibadge/host.
The catalogue retains first-party product wording without turning it into a programmable-badge, open-source, reproducible-design, authorship, cultural-affiliation, endorsement, or reusable-media claim.
The catalogue records a source-backed independent event association without presenting v2 as official conference hardware, an access item, a universal attendee benefit, or confirmed organizer distribution.
The current record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying Shopify product photos, roster-linked media, screenshots, social posts, placeholders, or generated approximations.
The catalogue preserves a current marketplace snapshot and intended pickup path without presenting either as completed production or delivery.
The catalogue keeps v2 distinct because its own listing is distinct while avoiding an invented hardware revision, size, Saintcon history, or universal compatibility claim.
