DEFCON 26 - Maneki-neko Badge

Follow the Twitter for updates @ManekiNekoDC

We went to DEF CON 26 and launched an unofficial DEF CON badge. We wanted to be able to create something different and unique to some of the other designs out there. The badge is controlled by an STM32 that drives the servo and dual 16 segment LEDS on the front. We attached a 3d printed arm to the servo. All the files are source code are Open Source and in this repo. You are welcome to make one yourself via OSHpark or JLC PCB. Gerber files are located in the repo.

Questions

How big is the Mini meow PCB?

It measures 49.3 × 63.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mini meow use?

13 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Mini meow KiCad files?

From the devoopes/defcon26-meow repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is addon/kicad/mini_meow.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mini meow design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
