Badges
Wemos D1 Mini acrylic badge with OLED and RGB shields
BSides Perth's official 2017 badge blog records a Wemos D1 Mini conference badge with OLED shield, RGB shield, switched AA battery holder, laser-cut and etched acrylic base, Arduino IDE code, and a public GitHub repository.
Handmade NodeMCU ESP8266 WiFi badge with badge-hack contest context
Contemporary Australian Cyber Security Magazine coverage documents BSides Perth 2018 attendees receiving a cool, unique handmade conference badge using a NodeMCU ESP8266 WiFi SoC, with a badge-hack prize promoted before the event.
Attendee-assembled ESP32 DevKit / 1.8-inch TFT challenge badge
The public BSides Perth 2025 badge archive and its assembly documentation identify a physical, attendee-assembled custom-PCB artifact built around an ESP32 DOIT DevKit v1, 1.8-inch LCD TFT, four tactile buttons, headers, and Micro-USB power. The archive also documents a virtual companion and challenge context, but it was published in September-October 2025 and does not prove that every event attendee received the same physical configuration.
Planned Western Australian conference swag badge
BSides Perth 2026 is represented as a planned participant-badge record because the official event page says the weekend participant ticket includes conference swag: t-shirt, badge, and stickers.
