BSides Newcastle 2024 Plant Badge

Little Shop of Horrors ATtiny402 soil-sensor PCB badge

An electronic PCB badge documented by its maker and badge sponsor, Punk Security, for BSides Newcastle 2024. Punk Security's own dated event listing identifies its October 5 Newcastle appearance as that year's badge-sponsor engagement and says Simon Gurney presented the making of the conference badge. The public `bsides-newcastle-2024-badge` archive calls the artifact the Little Shop of Horrors Plant Badge, says it was given out at BSides Newcastle, and describes it as a working soil sensor. It preserves EAGLE, EasyEDA, Gerber, firmware, board-image, and schematic material, and names an ATtiny402, button, CR2032 clip, 5050 NeoPixel, and 6.8 kΩ resistor. The reviewed sources do not establish organizer-side 2024 confirmation, venue, production quantity, attendee allocation, individual handoff, final unit-by-unit configuration, measurement performance, safety validation, or reusable image provenance.
