44CON
The September 14-16, 2016 London 44CON edition whose official badge-onboarding post documents the HIDIOT 0.7 USB HID prototype board.
London · United Kingdom · 2016
The 44CON 2016 badge was the unreleased HIDIOT 0.7 board, a USB Human Interface Device Input/Output Toolkit prototype that attendees could build, program through the Arduino IDE as a Digispark-compatible device, and use for HID payload experiments.
Lifecycle
44CON instructed attendees to install Digistump AVR Boards, select the Digispark default 16.5 MHz target, use Micronucleus, and upload sketches through the Arduino IDE.
44CON states that fewer than 150 attendees left the soldering workshop with fully functioning HIDIOT 0.7 boards from the roughly 500 distributed boards.
The 2016 guide demonstrates DigiKeyboard-style USB keyboard payloads and points toward deeper V-USB work until the HIDIOT 1.0 software stack matured.
Operational history
The badge page preserves the original safety context instead of presenting USB HID payload experimentation as risk-free.
The badge remains image-free until an explicitly reusable 44CON 2016 artifact photo is recovered.
The record treats 0.7 as a real event badge and prototype board while separating Digispark-compatible operation from later HIDIOT 1.0 behavior.
