Issue dossier
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
Readers can distinguish an active maker listing and planned timeframes from a completed DEF CON distribution or a finished production report.
Evidence
Primary DC801 listing for the live $120 Helgatchi badge, its maker-described BLE/Wi-Fi detection behavior, XIAO ESP32-S3, 8 MB flash, 400 mAh LiPo, LCD, LEDs, vibration motor, 2.4 GHz antenna path, dimensions, software-stack names, and July seller pickup/shipping terms. Listing images do not state a reusable license or explicit permission basis.
Public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response sheet that lists a new Helgatchi badge from DC801 + 801 Labs, a DEF CON context, an approximate $120-to-$150 acquisition statement, and high-level BLE/Wi-Fi scanner details. It is a submitter-provided roster entry, not an official DEF CON issue, final distribution record, or image-reuse permission.
Public Pips801 repository tree containing Helgatchi-Firmware, UI, and an older PlatformIO build-and-flash README. It is public source evidence, not a final production release, signed-update guarantee, complete support manual, security audit, or explicit license grant.
Public Pips801 repository tree with distinct drawings, spacer, front-PCB, back-PCB, and test-jig directories. Directory presence is an engineering-trail source, not proof that every file is final, licensed for reuse, fabricated, shipped, electrically complete, or representative of every unit.
Public repository for the Helgatchi project. Its README documents the handheld BLE/Wi-Fi hunter framing, configurable matching fields, component claims, and a public Hardware/Software structure. No explicit root license or GitHub license metadata was identified in the current review.
Source trail
Primary maker/seller source for the live $120 listing, the portable BLE-beacon and Wi-Fi-AP scanner/hunter description, configurable alert fields, XIAO ESP32-S3/8 MB/LiPo/LCD/LED/vibration/antenna/dimension claims, named PlatformIO/Arduino/LVGL/NimBLE/FastLED stack, and seller pickup/shipping wording. It does not establish final inventory, recipient delivery, independent test results, certification, legal suitability, privacy practice, official DEF CON status, or image reuse rights.
Primary repository-directory source for the published drawings, spacer, front PCB, back PCB, and test-jig engineering trail. It does not by itself identify a final board revision, BOM, schematic, Gerbers, tested power/RF behavior, manufacture, delivery, or license grant.
Primary repository-directory source for Helgatchi-Firmware and UI material plus an older ESP32-S3/PlatformIO build-and-flash outline. It does not establish a final firmware release, reproducible environment, signed update, recovery outcome, security assessment, user-data policy, support promise, or license grant.
Primary public project source for the Helgatchi BLE/Wi-Fi hunter framing, matching-field table, configuration surface, controller/display/battery/antenna/dimension claims, and linked Hardware and Software trees. The reviewed root had no explicit license file or GitHub license metadata, and repository presence does not establish a final manufactured revision, security review, certification, or image reuse rights.
Published submitter-provided roster entry for DC801 + 801 Labs' new Helgatchi badge, DEF CON 34 association, high-level BLE/Wi-Fi scanner/hunter feature wording, and approximate price context. It corroborates a public intended BadgeLife association, not DEF CON organizer issuance, admission, a completed event handoff, technical validation, or image reuse rights.
