Independent planned Hak4Kidz Lab Phaser v2.2 SAO sale at DEF CON 34
Hak4Kidz Lab's public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response lists Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 as a new SAO, links a maker video with that exact title, says it can be purchased from Hacker Warehouse at DEF CON, and gives an approximately $35 price. The maker's live Tindie product page also identifies Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 as a Hak4Kidz Lab electronic badge wearable and a fun blinky add-on. That page says it can attach to a Badgelife-supported SAO 1.69bis connector, describes side-view and shine-down LEDs illuminating the PCB, barrel, and top tracer, and calls the SAO connector a DIY soldering part. It also says the named v2.2 listing was made for DC31 and is a follow-up to a 2019 v1; its coin-cell pin-wear path was still in works. These sources establish a real planned independent current-event sale and a historical same-name product lineage—not completed DEF CON sales, confirmed Hacker Warehouse stock, a final 2026 production/revision mapping, a supplied coin-cell wearable configuration, a complete circuit/firmware archive, official DEF CON issuance or admission, reusable-image permission, or Star Trek rights-holder authorization.
People
YouTube's public video metadata identifies David Schwartzberg / H4K-Dave as the uploader of the video titled Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2. This records source-named publishing context only, not sole design/manufacture/art/firmware authorship, retailer authority, completed event sales, third-party rights, or image-reuse permission.
SourceThe public current-event roster and Tindie product page identify Hak4Kidz Lab in relation to Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2. This records public maker/seller/self-submitter context only, not sole hardware/art/firmware authorship, manufacture, current stock, completed sale, DEF CON organizer status, third-party rights, or image-reuse authority.
SourceIt preserves a current, source-named $35 DEF CON 34 sale without erasing the older v2.2 product context that explains what the item is. The record deliberately leaves current-event stock, price, build, and revision parity open: the current maker response, 2026 video upload, and live $30 marketplace listing all point to the same named artifact but do not publish a formal 2026 bill of materials or one-to-one allocation.
The maker's live product page calls v2.2 an electronic badge wearable and a blinky add-on. It says side-view and shine-down LEDs illuminate through the PCB, with a side-view LED for the barrel and a visual tracer across the top; it says the switch was removed to reduce footprint, the color changed from green to blue, and LF HASL was used for a type-2-phaser-like finish. It says an SAO connector is included for a badge supporting the SAO 1.69bis standard and calls that connector a DIY soldering part. The page also describes attaching it as an SAO or wearing it as a coin-cell-powered pin, but explicitly says the latter was still in works. No reviewed source identifies LED count/model/current, controller, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, PCB dimensions, exact connector pinout/orientation, coin-cell holder/chemistry/polarity, voltage/current limits, runtime, assembly instructions, final 2026 component population, host-compatibility test, ESD protection, safe-installation procedure, compliance, or certification.
The maker describes illumination and a visual tracer but no reviewed source names a microcontroller, firmware, binary, application, configuration, programming interface, protocol, source repository, build process, update/recovery path, release/tag, security model, support policy, or software/hardware/documentation licence. The source-bounded blinky behavior does not establish programmable behavior or a software archive.
The public title uses Star Trek and the product page says the maker sought to emulate a Type-2 phaser from Star Trek: The Original Series as a PCB prop. The product page calls v2.2 an upgrade from a 2019 v1 and says it was made for DC31; the current roster separately connects the named v2.2 item to a planned Hacker Warehouse sale at DEF CON 34. These are maker-published theme, lineage, and sales-channel statements only; they do not establish a current event-exclusive production run, completed sale, DEF CON sponsorship, a relationship with Hacker Warehouse beyond the roster wording, a Star Trek affiliation or permission, a creator/artwork authorship allocation, or permission to reuse product, video, or marketplace media.
Lifecycle
Hak4Kidz Lab's live same-name Tindie listing calls v2.2 an upgrade from a 2019 v1 and says it was made for DC31; it currently displays $30. The roster's current DEF CON 34 row instead says new and approximately $35 at Hacker Warehouse. The sources do not say whether those sales paths use identical stock, components, finish, packaging, installation parts, price, or revision.
SourceHak4Kidz Lab's public roster says Star Trek SAO Phaser v2.2 can be purchased from Hacker Warehouse at DEF CON for approximately $35. DEF CON 34 had not yet begun in this source pass, so this does not establish Hacker Warehouse inventory, booth location, payment terms, units, event-exclusive configuration, completed sale, buyer allocation, pickup, fulfillment, support, or a relationship beyond the maker's own sales-channel statement.
SourceOperational history
The dossier preserves source-published terminology and creative context without asserting ownership, franchise relationship, sponsorship, endorsement, sole authorship, or permission to reuse artwork, photos, or video.
Readers can trace the useful v1/DC31 history without assuming the current planned sale is a newly engineered board, an unchanged old run, or a fully mapped revision.
The record does not turn a documented blinky add-on into a programmable badge, released source project, reproducible build, or legal reuse grant.
The catalogue records the source-published LED and connection context without claiming universal host compatibility, a ready coin-cell wearable, electrical safety, soldering safety, or a complete engineering specification.
The catalogue tracks a public independent event association without presenting a maker sale as official conference hardware, a registration benefit, an access credential, an organizer endorsement, or a completed vendor commitment.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying marketplace photos, video frames, social previews, screenshots, placeholders, or generated approximations.
The catalogue preserves both published price contexts without treating either as a completed transaction, guaranteed inventory, final price, DEF CON entitlement, or delivery outcome.
