Canberra / hybrid · Australia · 2021
BSides Canberra 2021 is source-backed by the official event page, an attendee production note, public firmware repository, schematic mirror, and Mos & Boo badge-hacking writeups documenting a shipped electronic badge with SAMD21, ESP32-PICO-D4, e-paper display, LEDs, capacitive touch, and firmware reflashing workflow.
Lifecycle
The overview records add-on-pack paths for an Arduino MKRZero header, IR transceiver, audio codec, IMU, external flash, and PSRAM.
The reflashing guide documents Python dependencies, ESP BOOT / ESP EN flashing mode, SAMD reset programming mode, USB-port behavior, and restoration of the original firmware bundle.
The technical overview identifies an ATSAMD21G18A, ESP32-PICO-D4, LP5024 LED driver, 2.9 inch red/black/white e-paper display, capacitive touch, user LEDs, RGB LEDs, microSD, and user buttons.
The attendee report quotes Penten crediting volunteers, global parts-shortage effort, GME and 4Design support, and Sydney manufacture for delivering the badge to the community.
Operational history
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying attendee photos, technical screenshots, social-media images, or generated badge art.
The catalogue records the verified SAMD21/ESP32/e-paper architecture while avoiding unsupported claims about full source release, exact add-on availability, final component values, or image reuse.
