DEF CON 34 · United States · 2026
Pre-event 16-red-LED Simple Add-On with a maker-stated fundraiser context
caelyb's live Uberflux listing describes the #NOICE Simple Add-On as designed for DEF CON 34. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace snapshot lists $20, eight sold, and 92 remaining, with BadgeLife Village, LineCon, and Queercon Mixer drop labels plus post-DEF-CON CONUS shipping. The listing names sixteen side-emitting XL-1606SURC red LEDs, a tactile effect button, persistent last-effect memory, and a stated 2.7–3.7 V input range. It says the board has several fast and slow flashing, heartbeat, and breathing/fade effects, includes a lobster-clasp lanyard, and frames the project around the maker's stated concerns about U.S. immigration enforcement. The maker also says a portion of proceeds goes to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center. This is a source-backed pre-event independent lighting SAO record, not verification of the listing's policy statements or donation outcome, final manufacture, electrical safety, host compatibility, delivery, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.
People
The #NOICE listing says a portion of proceeds goes to this organization and links its public URL. This is a narrow source-attributed recipient reference, not an independently verified donation, formal partnership, organizational endorsement, or image-reuse grant.
SourceThe live Uberflux listing identifies caelyb as the maker. This records a public maker/publisher role only and does not infer individual hardware authorship, manufacture, DEF CON organizational status, policy representation, or image-reuse authority.
SourceThis is a concrete, current LED SAO whose product description combines hardware details with a clearly maker-stated fundraising and advocacy context. The record preserves both without turning the seller's political description or proposed beneficiary allocation into a verified external finding. It also keeps a practical limitation visible: a board with fast visual patterns and a stated wide input range is not automatically an electrically or optically validated accessory for every badge host.
The maker lists sixteen side-emitting XL-1606SURC red LEDs that shine through the FR4 PCB, a single tactile button, a stated 2.7–3.7 V input range, and retained last-effect memory after host power loss, battery depletion, or disconnection. It includes a lobster-clasp lanyard. The listing does not identify a controller, memory device, LED current limit, power draw, input-regulator circuit, reverse-polarity/ESD protection, SAO pinout, connector orientation, host test matrix, timing range, schematic, BOM, PCB/Gerbers, dimensions, assembly record, final revision, thermal data, safety guidance, or compliance evidence.
The product page describes several fast and slow flashing patterns, heartbeat, and breathing/fade effects, and says the last effect is retained. It does not identify a microcontroller, firmware, source repository, binary, effect implementation, persistence mechanism, build or flash path, update/recovery policy, software license, or test evidence. The record treats the named effects as a maker-described lighting surface rather than inferred firmware or a released programmable platform.
The listing says the #NOICE name is intended to keep attention on what its maker characterizes as harms caused by DHS and ICE enforcement in 2025–26, and says a portion of proceeds will go to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center. It also announces DEF CON 34-adjacent pickup labels and post-event CONUS shipping. Those are source-published advocacy, fundraising, and acquisition statements, not independently verified claims about enforcement, a confirmed donation amount or transfer, charitable affiliation, event authorization, delivery, admission, or organizer status.
Lifecycle
The listing names sixteen side-emitting XL-1606SURC red LEDs shining through FR4 PCB material and includes a lobster-clasp lanyard. It does not publish LED current, placement drawing, board dimensions, materials details beyond FR4, power budget, schematic, BOM, PCB files, final revision, or production-quality record.
SourceThe maker says one tactile button cycles effects, the last effect persists after host power loss or disconnection, the input range is 2.7–3.7 V, and visual patterns include fast/slow flashing, heartbeat, and breathing/fade. No controller, timing range, memory mechanism, regulator design, host test matrix, electrical protection, or optical-safety information is published.
SourceThe live page shows $20, eight sold, 92 remaining, DEF CON 34 BadgeLife Village, LineCon, and Queercon Mixer drop labels, plus post-DEF-CON CONUS shipping. These seller-published terms do not prove final run size, paid orders, onsite allocation, pickup, shipment, delivery, refund, replacement, or event authorization.
SourceThe listing frames #NOICE around the maker's stated concerns about immigration enforcement and says a portion of proceeds goes to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center. It does not publish the amount, percentage, accounting, transfer date, recipient confirmation, formal partnership, campaign terms, or outcome.
SourceOperational history
The catalogue can transparently preserve the maker's stated context without recasting it as an independently verified political, legal, charitable, or organizational claim.
The catalogue records the stated visual effects without presenting them as safe or suitable for every viewer.
The entry does not turn simple listed behavior into an open-source, programmable, or security-verified badge claim.
The record does not convert a maker-described lighting surface into a universal electrical compatibility or reliability guarantee.
The catalogue classifies #NOICE as an independent pre-event Simple Add-On, not an official conference credential, organizer-issued badge, or access item.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying marketplace photographs, promotional graphics, screenshots, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
The catalogue preserves a dated seller snapshot without treating it as a completed event or mail fulfillment report.
