The Whiskey Pirates DC23 Badge
Our second badge.
All badges were FULLY HAND ASSEMBLED - the pick n place machines were humans.
To operate the menu, hold the badge upside down with the bones in your palms. Use the touch sensor around the eye to navigate.
Most badges assembled by rCON, nieren, and true, with some additional help from Squelchtone and probably others
Most code done 3 days before con, with additional code and features worked on during con.
Released at DEF CON 23.

Firmware State
The firmware was never completed.
When firmware updates are available, they will be posted here. You'll either need to find true or use a Cypress / Infineon KitProg or compatible programmer to update firmware.
Hacks
To make the main display look better, a thin diffuser should be placed over the LEDs.
