CactusCon
The February 6-7, 2026 Arizona hacker and security conference edition whose official site anchors the Mesa event and whose Badge Pirates repository publishes the CactusCon 14 badge hardware design and build archive.
Mesa, Arizona · United States · 2026
The CactusCon 14 badge is preserved through Badge Pirates' public CC14 repository, which publishes KiCad design files, schematic PDF, interactive BOM, Gerbers, STEP exports, 3D-printable enclosure parts, and art assets for the 2026 CactusCon conference badge.
Lifecycle
The CAD archive and schematic-sheet names preserve screen and control surfaces, including an SPI TFT with touch and input-button hardware context.
The LED schematic and board archive preserve WS2812B lighting evidence for the CactusCon 14 badge hardware.
The CAD tree includes USB connection sources and board evidence for a USB-C and CH340N serial programming/debugging path.
The public CC14 CAD/archive evidence identifies an ESP32-S3 WROOM core for the conference badge hardware.
The public design archive preserves MicroSD, buzzer, and Badgelife SAO v1.69 expansion evidence for badge hacking and add-on use.
Badge Pirates publishes KiCad files, schematic PDF, interactive BOM, Gerbers, STEP exports, and STL/3MF enclosure parts for manufacturing and review.
The board archive and README point to power and MAX17048 schematic material, with dual 14500 battery-holder and fuel-gauge evidence preserved in the CAD tree.
Operational history
The record now has a rights-cleared official upstream raster render with source URL, license basis, attribution, local source preservation, and optimized WebP delivery while avoiding generated, placeholder, screenshot, or social-media imagery.
The record anchors claims to the CC14 README, event context, and CC14-named schematic/CAD outputs rather than inferring anything about earlier CactusCon badge years from carryover filenames.
The catalogue records the verified hardware archive while avoiding unsupported claims about badge applications, games, OTA behavior, or event infrastructure.
