Issue dossier
The rev R1 schematic title block names Kevin Colley, whose commits carry the August 4 microcontroller addition through the September 1 production files, while Jose Rodriguez authored the August 4 initial discrete-LED design whose Jose_3mm_Led library symbols survive in the retained blink LEDs. The organization profile establishes Security BSides Orlando as publisher, but the reviewed public material does not name a manufacturer, assembler, funder, or distribution owner, and the repository predates any stated official event-page badge announcement.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.

expansion connector library
Repository-local Simple_Addon_v2 symbol and footprint library used by the J1 SAO Connector instance, identifying the earlier unlabelled 2x3 2.54 mm socket as a Shitty Add-On v2 compatible expansion surface.

fabrication record
September 29, 2026 organizer commit adding the EasyEDA Pro project and Gerber zip as ordered from JLCPCB for full-colour silkscreen, explaining the 3x5 panel and a JLC re-panelisation that slightly misaligned the colour art.

firmware documentation
Firmware documentation for the production (R1) badge: pin map, headlight modes, fingerprint scan, Hack@UCF SAO unlock, post-flash self-test, the Lil Chompy and the World's Fair console adventure and its CTF flags, the PEEK memory-dump unlock, the SAOv3 host behaviour, and the flash budget.

firmware release
Release published September 26, 2026, the conference day, with firmware.bin (16,304 bytes), firmware.elf, and pico_rvd_factory.uf2, the prebuilt picorvd-for-badges probe image the README says was used on the conference programmer SAOs.

generated manufacturing output
September 1, 2026 organizer commit generating the BOM-bsidesorl-v1.csv, CPL-bsidesorl-v1.csv placement file, and GERBER-bsidesorl-v1.zip archive for JLCPCB. Generated output documents a ready-to-order design, not a confirmed order, fabricated board, or assembled unit.

official badge design page
Official site page linked from the event navigation, merged into the organizer's site repository on September 25-26, 2026. Besides a 2026 badge-front design image whose alternative text describes a retro-futurist Orlando skyline with a monorail, a geodesic sphere, and a gator piloting a hovercar above a cream ID panel, a September 30 full-text review found self-assembly instructions: the badge arrives part-built with the microcontroller, reverse-mounted LEDs, and small parts pre-soldered, leaving four LEDs and an SAO connector for the front, a surface-mount power switch and battery holder for the back, and an unsoldered AAA battery, with Soldering Village help. It credits the badge PCB to kcolley and the badge art to Shep, and publishes no image licence.

official badge documentation
Organizer README describing the retro-futurist World's Fair theme with Lil Chompy the alligator, the CH32V003, AAA-plus-TPS61021A power, three SK6812MINI-E LEDs, four self-blinking LEDs, two capacitive touch pads, the SAOv3 host and serial console, the repository layout, the factory flashing flow, and the RP2040-Zero programmer SAO that it says programmed all of the attendees' badges in the soldering village at BSides Orlando.

official event page
Official Security BSides Orlando page for the September 25 pre-conference workshops and September 26, 2026 conference at Full Sail University. The September 27 through October 1, 2026 post-event rechecks after the elapsed conference date found the page still in pre-event wording, with a closed Call for Papers, future-tense schedule text, and no wrap-up, recap, or thank-you; the completion evidence comes from the organizer badge repository instead.

organizer badge hardware and firmware repository
Public organizer-published 2026 badge repository. Through September 21, 2026 it carried 14 hardware commits (August 4 to September 1) with KiCad 10 PCB, schematic, local libraries, and JLCPCB output. It returned 404 from the September 25 recheck, one day before the conference, through September 29, and was public again on October 1, 2026 after September 29-30 pushes adding the badge firmware (commit dated September 22), the production PCB and EasyEDA project as ordered, a README, programmer-SAO build instructions, and render and photo assets. No repository licence is declared.

planned PCB layout
Primary board-layout source for the revised design, including the August 15 commit trail's lanyard and SAO-tether holes. It is not a fabrication result, assembly record, or rights-cleared hero-image source.
Badge: BSides Orlando 2026 Electronic Badge
planned hardware schematic
Primary source for the revised design: a CH32V003F4P6 microcontroller, TPS61021ADSGR boost converter, three SK6812MINI-E reverse-mount addressable LEDs, the retained Breathing and Fast Blink 3 mm LEDs, a TPD4E05U06 ESD array, an SAO Connector on a 2x3 socket, a 1x AAA cell, and the MST22D18G2 125 power switch. Its title block reads BSides Orlando Badge 2026, rev R1, dated 2026-08-31, company Kevin Colley.

Organizer commit stating the board was ordered from JLCPCB with full-colour silkscreen via EasyEDA Pro on a 3x5 panel, with slightly misaligned colour art after JLC re-panelisation. It documents the order, not the quantity.

August 30, 2026 commit message referencing a prototype-driven redesign of the earlier August snapshot. The repository carries no prototype photo, assembly record, or test report, so the prototype reference stays a commit-message statement.

Primary organizer post-event source for the badge feature list, theme, credits, and the statement that the standalone programmer SAOs were used at BSides Orlando for programming all of the attendees' badges in the soldering village. It is the basis for marking the edition completed and for the on-site programming claim; it gives no badge count.

Primary organizer-controlled badge page, served with a September 26, 2026 last-modified date. The September 28 pass recorded only its heading and badge-front artwork; the September 30 full-text review corrects that reading: the page describes a part-built soldering kit whose microcontroller and reverse-mounted LEDs arrive pre-soldered, with four LEDs, an SAO connector, a surface-mount power switch, a battery holder, and an AAA battery left to the attendee, notes that the six-pin SAO socket is keyed notch-up, and credits Badge PCB by kcolley and badge art by Shep. The kit list matches the archived CH32V003 design's retained through-hole LEDs, SAO socket, MST22D18G2 switch, and AAA holder, but the page states no ticket inclusion, count, or pickup outcome.
