Japanese cocktail-glass soldering-village PCB badge
AVTOKYO 2019's hardware soldering village used a cocktail-glass-shaped blinky PCB badge designed around AVTOKYO's no drink, no hack motto, transparent non-masked PCB areas, RGB flashing LEDs, reverse-mounted LED experimentation, CR2032 coin-cell power, and beginner soldering participation.
Japanese Halloween soldering-village PCB badge
CODE BLUE 2019's first hardware soldering village used a simple Halloween-themed blinky PCB badge, built around a custom PCB, RGB and 1206 LEDs, CR2032 coin-cell holder, CR2032 battery, transparent unmasked PCB smile, and normal or reverse LED soldering options.
Documented conference-badge-to-Wi-Fi-analyzer soldering activity
A public BSides Greenville 2023 event listing says the Circuit Board Medics Soldering Village would help participants solder and transform a conference badge. A contemporaneous BSidesGVL announcement says the conference badges could become Wi-Fi analyzers and identifies Circuit Board Medics as the team that designed the badges. A public attendee report after the event says that its author made a Wi-Fi analyzer at BSidesGVL. Together, these sources establish a real event-linked badge-conversion activity without identifying the original board or the resulting analyzer's components.

A full-colour UV-printed Security Fest badge inspired by Gothenburg's skyline with a cyberpunk treatment, backside-mounted components, Micro-USB CTF interface, cryptography puzzles, and soldering-village LED personalization.
First Adelaide Wombat CTF badge with MS51FB9AE, LEDs, micro-USB, and soldering village
BSides Adelaide 2024's first Wombat badge is preserved through creator-published Hackerware and Hackster sources as a full-colour UV-printed CTF hardware badge with Nuvoton MS51FB9AE controller, CH340G USB serial, RGB LED, six challenge LEDs, CR2032 power, and attendee LED soldering.
Indian Security BSides badge-sponsor and soldering-village record
A conservative source-backed BSides Agra 2025 badge record from the archived official site and official social trail, documenting an IOTSRG Badge Sponsor role, all-attendee collectible-badge framing, and a hands-on soldering village without asserting an unrecovered final circuit.
Official ESP32-S3 NFC e-paper badge with post-event Apache-2.0 source release
NorthSec 2026's official registration page lists a new social electronic badge as an included item for conference, CTF, combo, and training ticket holders while supplies lasted. The official competition page's retained 2026 Solarpunk section says the hackable electronic badge was fully integrated into the CTF, with badge challenges worth points and on-site badge-firmware tampering among the physical tracks. Official villages pages document badge pickup through attendees' nSec order QR codes, soldering-village activity where attendees could enhance their badge with blinking electronic parts, and a badge museum. On August 3, after the May event, NorthSec published the separate Apache-2.0 `nsec/badge-2026` repository. Its commit-pinned hardware and source tree documents an ESP32-S3 badge design with an ST25R3916 NFC front end, six buttons, eighteen WS2812/NeoPixel LEDs, a 200×200 GDEH0154D67 / SSD1681 e-paper path, KiCad design files, production BOM/CPL/Gerbers, PlatformIO firmware, conference/CTF partitions, CTF assets, and dock/SAO directories.
