Badge Crown SAO (DEF CON 34)

Current $10 three-flashing-red-LED SAO; handoff and host compatibility unverified

Brooke's Bytes' live Uberflux listing calls Badge Crown SAO a Crown Shitty Add-On for a conference badge. The current page shows a $10 price, 10 remaining, 20 sold, PRE/DROP labels, and a DEF CON 34 BadgeLife Village drop listed for August 7 at 4 PM. It describes a fully assembled SAO with one SAO connector, three flashing red LEDs, and three resistors; its own listing says no soldering, programming, or separate battery is required and tells users only to connect it to a compatible badge. Badge.Life separately schedules Brookes Bytes Badge and SAOs in the same Friday 4 PM village slot. These sources establish a distinct pre-event electronic add-on record, not a documented pinout, voltage/current budget, universal host fit, completed sale or handoff, DEF CON issuance or credential role, or image reuse.

DEF CON 34 Shitty Add-On (narengogi)

Independent LED/2×3-header SAO source project; physical build and host compatibility unverified

The public narengogi/defcon-34-shitty-add-on repository describes itself only as an SAO for DEF CON 34. Its single commit contains a native KiCad project, board, schematic, Gerber outputs, an archive, and vector artwork; the board source includes DC 34 and narengogi silkscreen text, a 2×3 generic connector, and LED/resistor-labelled source entries. That is enough to preserve an independent, source-only pre-event add-on project whose formal product name is not published. It is not evidence of a fabricated board, a specific SAO version or pinout, working electronics, a compatible host, a DEF CON or BadgeLife relationship, a sale or giveaway, attendee delivery, a credential function, or a reusable image.

INSPECTRON 34 SAO (DEF CON 34)

Completed independent RP2040 CRT-TV Simple Add-On

INSPECTRON 34 is an independent retro-CRT television-shaped Simple Add-On documented by its maker's post-conference public repository. The project records an RP2040, 16 MB flash, 1.14-inch ST7789V display, CircuitPython, USB-drive GIF loading, a DC34 right-port SAO design, and a completed DEF CON 34 run of about 20 sold boards. The post-conference handoff identifies V5 as the current released firmware. It is not an official DEF CON Human badge or admission credential.

OWASP SAO (DEF CON 34)

Source-published 15-pixel touch SAO firmware project; physical artifact and handoff unverified

Punk Security's public repository calls its Arduino sketch "the firmware for the OWASP DefCon 34 SAO." Its final public source snapshot provides an actual `main.ino` rather than an event-labelled name alone: it defines 15 addressable RGB pixel positions, three PTC capacitive-touch nodes, and a README that says the SAO header exposes UPDI for reprogramming. This clears the catalogue threshold for a named, source-published pre-event electronic add-on project. It does not establish a final PCB, microcontroller, power path, exact SAO specification, fabricated unit, approved OWASP or DEF CON relationship, price, allocation, pickup, delivered handoff, credential function, or reusable image rights.
