Issue dossier
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
Readers can inspect the source-described hardware and its own caveats without treating it as a universal plug-and-play, electrically safe, or fully validated device.
Evidence
Primary source for the DC34-targeted 3.0 V and right-port context, I2C descriptor surface, production changes, accepted IOVDD exception, and TFT-footprint correction. It documents a maker design, not every unit's behavior or a safe modification procedure.
Public independent-project repository for INSPECTRON 34. It documents the add-on's technical, production, and post-conference firmware trail, but does not establish DEF CON organizer issuance, ticket inclusion, universal host compatibility, or image reuse.
Primary post-conference source for the 30-board run, maker-reported sales/disposition, V4 event firmware context, and V5 release. It is not an independent sales audit, recipient ledger, or final-unit inventory.
Primary project overview for the retro-TV add-on form, RP2040/flash/TFT/CircuitPython surface, USB GIF loading, SAO/USB-C power claims, and independent/unofficial status. It is not a final production ledger, complete safety evaluation, or reusable-image grant.
Public firmware tree for the maker-described application and test surface. It is linked as provenance rather than a supported update or recovery instruction, security review, or guarantee of the firmware installed on any particular unit.
Public hardware tree containing the KiCad project and production material. Its presence does not establish a complete BOM, exact event-unit revision, safe fabrication/modification procedure, electrical compliance, or a cleared raster image.
The repository's MIT license covers code and original design files, while expressly excluding its third-party GIF content, the DEF CON name, and DC34 logo artwork. It therefore does not supply a rights-cleared gallery image.
Source trail
Primary technical source for the post-conference status, JLCPCB quickturn, hand-assembly, maker-reported sales, hardware revisions, DC34 power/interface assumptions, and software layout. It does not replace independent manufacture, safety, compatibility, or recipient evidence.
Primary maker-published timeline for the 30-board run, about-20 sales statement, fleet disposition, V4 event firmware, and August 11 V5 update. These are source-attributed maker statements, not a third-party allocation or quality audit.
Primary public project archive identifying INSPECTRON 34 as a DEF CON 34 retro-TV Simple Add-On. It establishes a maker-published independent project, not DEF CON authorization, admission use, ticket inclusion, an official BadgeLife role, or image rights.
Primary source-license statement: MIT for repository code and original design files, with explicit exclusions for third-party GIFs, DEF CON name, and DC34 logo artwork. It does not grant image reuse for an asset containing excluded material.
Primary maker documentation for the stated RP2040, 16 MB flash, ST7789V display, CircuitPython, USB-drive GIF, SAO, USB-C, and unofficial-community-add-on surfaces. It does not establish complete production parity, electrical safety, support, or reusable project media.
