ESP32 39x9 LED-matrix badge for Pixels Camp
A Portugal source-backed ESP32 PCB badge for Pixels Camp 2019 with a 39x9 RGB LED matrix, IS31FL3741 LED driver, CH340G USB serial, USB/LiPo power, and public schematic/PCB design files.
Portuguese Security BSides electronic badge with badge-sponsor trail
A source-backed Portuguese Security BSides electronic-badge record: the official BSidesLisbon 2025 about page says the edition would have an electronic badge, the sponsors page lists a Badge Sponsor section for BitSight, and Eventbrite anchors the November 13-14, 2025 Auditorio FMD-UL conference.
Planned Portuguese Security BSides electronic badge; technical details pending
BSides Lisbon's current official 2026 About page says the October 29-30 conference will have talks, networking, an electronic badge, and a CTF. The official home and location page place the planned event at Auditório Prof. Simões dos Santos in Lisbon, and the current team page lists Pedro Umbelino under Badge. This is a source-backed planned electronic-badge programme, not evidence of a completed board, technical implementation, or badge-linked CTF.
Portuguese BSides electronic badge experience
A conservative post-event record for BSides Porto 2026's advertised electronic badge experience, anchored to the official site, agenda, ticketing page, and organizer completion recap rather than component-level badge documentation.
Events
The March 21-23, 2019 Lisbon Pixels Camp edition, documented as a three-day hacker-spirit technology event and paired here with Afonso Muralha's public ESP32 LED-matrix PCB badge archive.
The November 13-14, 2025 Lisbon Security BSides edition at Auditorio FMD-UL, source-backed through the official about page, Eventbrite listing, CTF page, and official badge-sponsor page.
The planned October 29-30, 2026 Portuguese Security BSides edition in Lisbon. Its current official home gives the date and venue, and its 2026 About page explicitly says the programme will have an electronic badge and a CTF. The reviewed sources do not publish final hardware, software, badge-to-CTF behavior, distribution, or image-rights evidence.
The June 26-27, 2026 Porto Security BSides edition whose official site and ticketing page advertise an electronic badge experience alongside talks, workshops, CTF, and community networking; the official organizer feed later confirmed the event concluded.
Lifecycle
The official about page says BSidesLisbon 2025 would have an electronic badge alongside talks, networking, and a CTF.
The official about and ticketing text advertises an electronic badge experience as part of the BSides Porto 2026 conference programme.
The official sponsor page has a Badge Sponsor section naming BitSight, supporting the 2025 badge sponsorship trail.
The official agenda says workshops are exclusive to BSides Porto 2026 badge holders and that registration alone does not grant entry.
The design uses an IS31FL3741 LED driver IC to drive the LED matrix, with related schematic and PCB material in the hardware archive.
The same official sources place the badge experience alongside a Capture The Flag competition, technical talks, hands-on workshops, and networking, but do not yet expose badge-specific challenge mechanics.
The project describes an ESP32-controlled badge intended for a web-connected scrolling text display while allowing custom firmware versions.
The current 2026 About page also lists a CTF. It does not say the CTF is a physical challenge, uses the electronic badge, or has a badge-specific implementation.
The current official 2026 About page says BSides Lisbon will have an electronic badge alongside talks, networking, and a CTF.
BSides Porto's official organizer feed says the 2026 second edition wrapped and links a photo archive. It verifies completion of the conference but does not establish an electronic badge's final hardware, distribution, or image-reuse status.
The public design notes describe USB or 1S LiPo operation, USB charging, CH340G USB serial, a power switch, and regulator/charger components.
The CADLAB README describes a 39x9, 351-LED matrix as the badge's main display surface.
Operational history
The record avoids turning the electronic badge into a proven badge-CTF platform or adding unsupported physical-design claims.
The catalogue records both official programme elements without incorrectly presenting the badge as a CTF device or asserting a physical challenge path.
A visible team credit can be preserved without claiming that the named person designed or built a particular device, or that any attendee class receives it.
The dossier keeps hardware claims tied to the project archive and event claims tied to Pixels Camp and Portuguese event coverage.
The catalogue describes the software surface conservatively as an intended web-connected scrolling-text target.
Component and software claims remain intentionally withheld until artifact-level sources appear.
The catalogue records the electronic-badge programme while withholding unsupported component, software, distribution, and interaction claims.
The catalogue does not turn the electronic-badge wording into assumed hardware, source availability, interaction behavior, or security claims.
The Portugal badge record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying CADLAB, event, or press imagery without complete rights provenance.
The planned Portugal record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event graphics, team-photo assets, ticketing media, screenshots, social-media images, or generated approximations.
The Portugal record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying sponsor logos, event-page media, ticketing screenshots, or generated badge art.
The Portugal record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
The entry preserves a concrete planned event promise without representing it as a completed badge build or universal attendee delivery.
The catalogue marks the record as source-backed but artifact-incomplete and should be refreshed if badge-team documentation appears.
