Nuit du Hack / leHACK
leHACK 2026
The June 26-28, 2026 leHACK edition in Paris, represented by the scheduled Badge Hackropole assembly workshop in the new leLAB Hardware Village. Official leHACK and ANSSI publications document ten 55-minute sessions on June 26-27 to assemble and program a capacitive ESP32-S3/WS2812B light-up badge, while FCSC-FR's public repository carries the hardware, assembly, and WLED documentation. The record treats the device as a workshop artifact rather than a general conference credential, and does not assume individual attendance, finished assembly, or handoff.

firmware workflow
The source guide aligns the distributed firmware with WLED v0.15.5, documents ESP32-S3 bootloader flashing with esptool, a WLED Wi-Fi access-point onboarding flow, a web interface, and touch controls for lighting and effects.
Compatibility: Hackropole source-tree workflow; it is not evidence of an event-specific application, CTF, backend, account, final firmware state, or support/update service for every workshop artifact.
hands-on workshop access
leLAB identifies Badge Hackropole soldering as an introductory activity with no technical prerequisite; workshop sign-up was on site, first come first served, and groups were limited to ten people maximum.
Compatibility: leLAB workshop context only; it does not establish that every leHACK attendee or registrant participated or received a badge.
hardware interaction and modification surface
The WLED guide maps eight capacitive pillar controls and a rooster-crest touch control, and exposes GP14/GP15 pads for user modifications such as 3.3 V I2C sensors or an I2S microphone.
Compatibility: Public Hackropole configuration only; no source establishes a particular attendee modification, sensor, microphone, enclosure, pin safety review, or support commitment.
official build guide
The assembly guide recommends one Waveshare ESP32-S3-Zero without pin headers and eight WS2812B LEDs in 5050-SMD packages as the baseline working board.
Compatibility: Hackropole public design baseline; optional lanyard, USB power bank, stand, and sensor additions are not universal event-issued parts or compatibility guarantees.
official workshop schedule
ANSSI's official leHACK listing schedules ten 55-minute Badge Hackropole workshop sessions: five on June 26 and five on June 27.
Compatibility: leHACK 2026 Badge Hackropole workshop activity only; the published schedule does not prove which sessions ran, attendance, completed builds, kit allocation, or final handoff.
conference credential separation · official leHACK practical information · workshop device and general badge pickup documented as distinct contexts
The record remains a workshop-made electronic artifact rather than an unsupported claim about leHACK admission, identity, access control, or universal badge allocation.
final configuration and firmware lifecycle boundary · public build and firmware documentation · design and baseline firmware public; event-specific final state unpublished
Readers can reproduce the documented public design without mistaking one source configuration for a verified event-wide production, security, or support state.
manual assembly, power, and modification safety boundary · official assembly and firmware guides · source cautions and optional modifications documented
The catalogue records the public hands-on workflow while avoiding a claim that all configurations are safe, supplied, tested, supported, or appropriate for every builder.
scheduled workshop and post-event fulfillment boundary · official schedule, ANSSI listing, and public source tree · ten sessions and build documentation published; individual attendance and completed handoff unverified
The compendium can preserve a concrete workshop artifact and buildable design without treating a schedule or a public repository as proof that every listed slot ran or that any specific person received and completed a badge.
