Shitty Kitty V2 (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event sold-out RP2040 dual-SAO BadgeLife restock

Uberflux lists Shitty Kitty V2 under the `lipo` maker handle and Uberfoo Heavy Industries, with DEF CON 34 as its only listed drop. At this August 3 source pass, the $75 listing is marked OUT with zero remaining and 15 sold, and says new stock is available for DEF CON 34 pickup. Its maker-published description names dual 0.96-inch color IPS screens, an RP2040 platform, two fully connected 1.69bis SAO ports, USB-C, LiPo power/charging components, five user buttons, a boot button, and SkittyOS features. It also announces new firmware with graphics and puzzles, but provides no release link. This is a documented pre-event restock listing, not proof of final pickup, a completed firmware release, a reproduced engineering archive, or an official DEF CON admission credential.

Why It Mattered

It adds a current independent DEF CON BadgeLife restock with unusually detailed maker-published hardware and operating claims, including two fully connected SAO ports and a specific power-management bill-of-material surface. The record preserves those primary listing claims while separating them from unverified electrical performance, battery safety certification, final firmware availability, production completion, and reusable-image rights.

Hardware

The maker's listing specifies two 0.96-inch 80x160 color IPS displays; a Raspberry Pi RP2040 dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ described as running at 200 MHz; 264 kB SRAM; 16 MB Quad SPI flash; two fully connected SAO 1.69bis ports with dedicated GPIO, UART, and I²C connections; five user buttons; a dedicated boot button; USB-C; and a polycarbonate back case. It lists an included 2,000 mAh LiPo, BQ24072RGT battery-management controller, TPS63051RMWR 3.3 V buck-boost supply, thermal monitoring, and up-to-1.5 A fast-charging support. The source does not publish a schematic, BOM, PCB/Gerbers, pinout, board dimensions, actual rail/current measurements, battery cell details, charging test evidence, SAO electrical tests, or safety/certification documentation.

Software & Apps

The storefront calls the software SkittyOS and describes dynamic graphics demos, customizable scrolling text, adjustable fonts and international-character support, individual screen configuration/demo modes, and persistent settings stored in flash. It separately says new firmware with new graphics and puzzles will be released. The reviewed product and maker-profile pages provide no firmware source or binary, release URL, flashing procedure beyond the listing's USB mass-storage statement, build instructions, puzzle documentation, protocol specification, or software/hardware/documentation license.

Lore

The live listing calls the badge Shitty Kitty V2 and says new stock is available for pickup at DEF CON 34. At the August 3, 2026 source pass it is marked OUT at $75, with zero remaining and 15 sold, and lists DEF CON 34 as its drop option. Those maker-marketplace signals establish a sold-out pre-event offer, not final production, physical handoff, recipient identity, firmware availability, or a convention-wide allocation. It is an independent BadgeLife item rather than the official DEF CON Human badge.

Issues & Camp Impact

battery, charging, and modification safety boundary note

The maker lists LiPo power, battery-management components, thermal monitoring, a buck-boost supply, and fast-charging support, plus a polycarbonate battery enclosure. It does not publish cell make/model, charge-current configuration, temperature thresholds, fault behavior, battery replacement procedure, current limits, safety guidance, certification, or modification instructions.

The record does not convert component names or marketing language into an electrical-safety endorsement, battery-service guide, or safe-modification claim.

engineering archive, pinout, and compliance gap note

The listing presents detailed components and calls its SAO ports 1.69bis-compliant, but does not publish a schematic, BOM, Gerbers, board layout, connector pinout, display part identification, power-tree detail, rail/current test data, SAO test report, or standards-compliance evidence.

The catalogue retains precise maker-published components without treating a storefront specification as a fully reproducible design or universal SAO compatibility guarantee.

firmware release and licensing gap note

The product says new firmware with graphics and puzzles will be released and describes SkittyOS features, but it links no source repository, binary, versioned release, flashing workflow, build instructions, puzzle material, protocol documentation, or software/hardware/documentation license.

The record can describe the maker's announced feature surface without claiming a released, reproducible, inspectable, or reusable firmware archive.

No Shitty Kitty V2 image is published because the Uberflux product and maker profile do not pair a specific image with a reusable license or explicit permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

The pre-event record remains source-backed and image-free instead of copying storefront media, social posts, screenshots, placeholders, or generated approximations.

pre-event DEF CON 34 pickup and sales-state boundary note

The current $75 listing is marked OUT with zero remaining and 15 sold, says new stock is available for DEF CON 34 pickup, and lists DEF CON 34 as its drop. The event has not yet occurred, so this does not confirm final manufacture, physical pickup, recipient count, or post-event availability.

The catalogue records a source-backed sold-out pre-event offer without changing sales counters into a completed fulfillment report.
