Can't wait to see what the next @defcon badge designers come up with!

[DEF CON @defcon]

Ever wanted to design a #DEFCON Badge? The #DEFCON31 call for Badge Designers is open. It’s a non-electronic badge year, so we’re looking for some wildly creative analog badge goodness.

Details here: https://t.co/h7JlNQuGRy

We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

[DEF CON @defcon]

In honor of #ThrowbackThursdays we're throwing it back a week or so to the badge talk from #DEFCON30. Learn the magical mysteries of the musical badge from @theMKFactor and @thedarktangent and, as always, pass it on.

@DesChips @defcon Yes, it will be published soon.

On the road to @defcon with a truckload of badges. #badgelife #roadtoDEFCON

@lili_byte I've done it on a few boards, but it's not super easy. On the boards I tried it on, if there were a bunch of burn marks around the chip, the traces were way too damaged.

[MK Factor @theMKFactor]

This will make the headphone jack work, and the speaker will be very very quiet, but at least it works! #badgelife

[Mike's wife @ktjgeekmom]

If your @defcon badge lets out its smoke, here is a workaround.

Use a hot air station to remove the audio chip (the burnt one)

*solder jumper from capacitor to resistor.

*solder jumper from audio jack to ground on USB.
#defcon30

[MK Factor @theMKFactor]

@lili_byte If the traces on the board are not badly damaged, you can replace the amplifier chip using a hot air station.
