| Button | Function in the menu |

| Up / Down | Move the cursor in a screen |

Left and Right move through the screens:
Game → Main → PMs → Channel → Adverts → Tokens → Clock → Calendar → Name → My QR
LED meanings
| Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pulsing orange | Start — the hardware initializes |
| Pulsing blue | The display and LoRa start (about 13 s) |
| One green flash | The start is complete |
| Red flicker | The screen refreshes |
| Blue flicker | The badge writes to the USB drive |
| Blinking green | The badge erases the contacts |
| One red, green or blue flash | A person pinged you over the mesh (blinkme) |
Power-on combos
Hold the button while you start the badge. Slide the ON/OFF switch at the top left of the front off, then back on. The battery keeps the badge running, so a disconnection of USB does not restart it.
| Hold | Result |
|---|---|
| Execute | USB firmware update (DFU mode) |
| Fire (joystick press) | Forces the safe e-paper waveform, and ignores a bad LUT.CFG for that start |
| Execute + Cancel + Fire | Factory reset (about 40 s — erases the data and the settings) |
If the application slot is empty, the badge enters DFU mode without a button.
USB drag-and-drop
Connect USB-C. The badge mounts as the CYBR<4 hex> drive.
| File you put on the drive | What it does |
|---|---|
ALARMS.ICS | Imports alarms and calendar events |
030000.PCX … 030009.PCX | Sponsor slides |
<6 hex>.PCX | Game sprite asset |
PETS.CFG | Adds or renames pets, with sprite PCX files |
BORNPETS.CFG | Custom pet balance (KEY=VALUE) |
LUT.CFG | Custom e-paper waveform (advanced) |
Restart the badge after you copy the files.
Firmware update (DFU)
dfu-util -d 1915:521f -D cyber-aegg.bin
The bootloader LEDs in DFU mode are: a red blink for idle, solid blue during the write, solid green when the write is complete. Then power cycle the badge.
Charging
USB-C in any port charges the badge. There is no separate charge LED. The battery icon on the watch face and in the status bar shows the level.
