CyberNorth CyberFest Community Conference 2025

The October 7, 2025 flagship CyberFest Community Conference at Newcastle Civic Centre, part of CyberNorth's month-long northeast England cybersecurity festival. CyberNorth's own 2025 material establishes the date, venue, and cybersecurity-community-conference context; Punk Security's post-event source archive calls its Compass Badge the CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 badge and says it was given out to conference attendees. The sources do not establish a production count, recipient list, individual handoff, final unit configuration, safety validation, or reusable image rights.

CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 Compass Badge

A completed CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 electronic PCB badge documented by its maker, Punk Security, as a compass badge distributed at the Community Conference. CyberNorth's official 2025 materials place that conference on October 7 at Newcastle Civic Centre within its month-long northeast England cybersecurity festival. The public maker archive names an ATtiny412, button, CR2032 clip, 5050 NeoPixel, and LIS2MDLTR three-axis magnetometer, and preserves EAGLE, EasyEDA, Gerber, firmware, and board-art material. The sources do not establish a production count, recipient ledger, final unit-by-unit configuration, calibrated field performance, electrical-safety result, or reusable image provenance.

event provision claim

Conference-distribution statement

Punk Security's repository says the Compass Badge was given out at the CyberFest conference to all attendees. CyberNorth's official sources establish the conference context, but reviewed sources do not give a count, ticket tiers, recipient list, or individual pickup/handoff record.

Compatibility: CyberNorth CyberFest Community Conference 2025 context only; not a generic festival credential or recipient ledger

CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 Compass Badge maker-documented source archive

interactive badge function

Magnetic compass feature

The maker archive describes a compass mode built around a three-axis magnetometer, with an intentionally coarse bearing indication and magnetic-environment limitations. This preserves feature context without asserting calibrated accuracy, user outcome, or final-unit parity.

Compatibility: CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 Compass Badge source-design context; not navigation or measurement guidance

manufacturing context

Full-colour printed PCB and partial-assembly trail

The maker says the badge used full-colour printed PCB artwork and selected components were placed during manufacture. This records the source-described manufacture context without inferring a complete supplier record, production count, final materials, inspection plan, or quality outcome.

Compatibility: CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 Compass Badge source-design context only; no supplier, manufacturing, or safety endorsement

source-material archive

Public design, Gerber, and firmware archive

Punk Security's public repository preserves board, schematic, EasyEDA, Gerber, board-art, and firmware material. The archive is linked for provenance without presenting it as a licensed derivative-work, manufacturing, calibration, flashing, or safety guide.

Compatibility: Punk Security source archive only; licence, final-release, and all-unit parity remain unresolved

Issues & Camp Impact

CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 Compass Badge note

compass calibration, accuracy, and field-result boundary · maker repository description · feature and broad limitation documented; calibrated outcome unrecovered

The maker archive describes a magnetic compass feature, ambient-interference limits, and an intentionally coarse bearing display. It does not publish a calibrated reference, test conditions, accuracy/error figures, per-unit calibration record, participant-use result, field-reliability report, or a claim that every supplied unit produced the same outcome.

The catalogue records a source-described interactive feature without turning it into navigation guidance, an accuracy assurance, or a universal user-experience claim.

CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 Compass Badge note

conference allocation, recipient, and handoff boundary · official CyberNorth event sources and maker repository · completed conference and maker distribution statement documented; recipient details unrecovered

CyberNorth establishes the October 7 Community Conference and Punk Security's source archive says the Compass Badge was given out to all attendees. The reviewed sources do not give an attendee count, production quantity, ticket-tier scope, named recipient list, pickup/handoff record, replacement policy, or proof of final physical-unit equality.

The catalogue preserves a completed conference-associated electronic badge without turning a maker's broad distribution statement into a recipient ledger or guaranteed universal entitlement.

CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 Compass Badge note

final hardware, power, and electrical-safety gap · public repository review · design outline and source files public; production/safety result unrecovered

The repository names an ATtiny412, button, CR2032 clip, 5050 NeoPixel, and LIS2MDLTR magnetometer and preserves board/design material, but reviewed sources do not establish final component substitutions, battery brand/capacity, polarity/protection behavior, power budget, runtime, electrical limits, thermal result, assembly quality, manufacturing test plan, certification, compliance, or safe service outcome.

The record preserves a source-backed hardware outline without treating public project material as a fabrication, repair, electrical-safety, or universal final-unit specification.

CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 Compass Badge note

firmware release and operating-procedure boundary · public repository review · firmware sketch published; final deployment/support record unrecovered

The source tree includes a firmware sketch and external development references, but reviewed sources do not establish a tagged final release, signed binary, source-to-unit mapping, build lockfile, deployment inventory, update policy, recovery process, support lifecycle, or safe end-user operating, calibration, or reconfiguration procedure. No flashing, configuration, or connection directions are reproduced here.

The catalogue links source evidence without presenting it as a supported, reproducible, current, or safe modification workflow.

CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 Compass Badge note

missing rights-cleared image · local project policy · needs licensed original replacement

No CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 Compass Badge image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

The United Kingdom record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.

CyberNorth CyberFest 2025 Compass Badge note

source-license, visual-material, and branding scope boundary · GitHub API metadata and repository-tree review · no detected repository license; image rights unresolved

GitHub metadata reports a null detected license for the repository, and no root LICENSE or COPYING file was recovered in the public tree. The public repo contains board images and artwork, but neither it nor CyberNorth's pages pair a selected factual badge photo or official render with an image-specific reuse basis, named attribution, source URL, and processing provenance.

Source files and public project material are cited as evidence, but no local image, artwork, source file, or brand asset is copied or treated as licensed for reuse.
