TYMKRS cubic mesh-network puzzle badge
The CypherCon 2.0 Cube was a three-dimensional electronic badge by TYMKRS, assembled from cube-edge PCBs with LEDs, microprocessors, buses, USB, battery charging, mesh-network behavior, text-adventure firmware, and a badge-to-badge programming premise.
Tymkrs electronic text-adventure badge
A Tymkrs / Toymakers official DEF CON 26 electronic badge with a PIC32MM0256GPM controller, reverse-mounted LEDs, capacitive controls, four-AA battery stack, USB serial interface, badge-to-badge connector, add-on header, and a retro text-adventure badge challenge.
Independent brass Coin M0 text-adventure and CircuitPython eChallengeCoin planned for DEF CON 34
AoSC's 2026 eChallengeCoin page describes a planned limited run of 40 brass electronic coins, framed as gifts for participants in its Choose Your Own Charity initiative rather than items for sale. It describes a Sara and the Missing Artifacts terminal text adventure, three groups of NeoPixels, a small speaker, one large touch pad for CircuitPython, no battery, 46-gram brass construction, and a Micro-USB serial connection; its form says a $100-or-greater youth-STEM-charity donation may receive a 2026 coin by U.S. mail or DEF CON pickup. The same page links the official CircuitPython Bradán Lane STUDIO Coin M0 profile as the build specifically for the eChallengeCoin. That profile identifies an ATSAMD21G1A, 4 MB flash, three RGB-NeoPixel groups, three capacitive touch pads, a speaker, and native USB-C. The linked primary sources therefore document a real planned independent DEF CON 34 electronic artifact while also disagreeing about USB connector type and touch-pad count; this record preserves the conflict rather than resolving it. They do not establish final manufactured-unit parity, confirmed donations or delivery, charity/tax treatment, official DEF CON issuance or admission, game-source licensing, or reusable-image rights.
CH32V003 part-built solder-kit badge with the Lil Chompy text-adventure CTF
BSides Orlando 2026's attendee badge is a retro-futurist CH32V003 RISC-V board, a 1960s World's Fair vision of tomorrow with Lil Chompy the alligator at the wheel of a flying car, handed out as a part-built solder kit and programmed in the conference Soldering Village. Security BSides Orlando's official GitHub organization published the design from August 4, 2026; its 2026-badge repository was not publicly reachable from September 25 and reappeared on September 29-30 with the KiCad source, the EasyEDA full-colour-silkscreen Gerbers as ordered from JLCPCB, the badge firmware, a v1.0.0 release dated September 26, and a README stating that its programmer SAOs flashed all of the attendees' badges in the Soldering Village at BSides Orlando. Three SK6812MINI-E RGB LEDs form the flying car's headlights and a fingerprint-scanner indicator, four self-blinking LEDs light the tower spire and geodesic sphere, two capacitive touch pads sit under the fingerprint and Lil Chompy's head, one AAA cell feeds a TPS61021A boost converter, and the SAO header doubles as an SAOv3 host and a 115200-baud serial console running the Lil Chompy and the World's Fair text-adventure CTF.
