BSides Canberra 2024 Orc Blinky Badge

BSides Canberra 2024's public ticketing page promised an electronic badge, and an attendee writeup describes the shipped badge as an orc-shaped soldering badge built around a 555 timer, LEDs, diode, resistor, capacitor, and 9V battery power.

Issues & Camp Impact

hardware-detail caveat · source-backed but incomplete · needs official schematic or repository recovery

The recovered sources prove electronic badge inclusion and document the shipped 555-timer blinky circuit at a high level, but this pass did not recover an official schematic, BOM, PCB files, component values, or production repository.

The catalogue records the verified orc blinky badge without inventing chip pinouts, LED counts, exact component values, board revisions, or source-code claims.
