5-way joystick 2 buttons
(F = press in)
Buttons
| Button | Anywhere in the menu |
|---|---|
| Execute / Fire | Select · open · confirm |
| Cancel | Back · cancel · close |
| Up / Down | Move the cursor within a screen |
| Left / Right | Switch top-level screen |
Top-level screens
Left / Right cycles through them:
Game → Main → PMs → Channel → Adverts → Tokens → Clock → Calendar → Name → My QR
LED meanings
| Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pulsing orange | Boot — hardware init |
| Pulsing blue | Display + LoRa coming up (~13 s) |
| Single green flash | Boot done |
| Red flicker | Screen refreshing |
| Blue flicker | USB drive write |
| Blinking green | Contacts wipe in progress |
| One-shot red / green / blue | Someone pinged you over the mesh (blinkme) |
Power-on combos
Hold these while powering on — slide the ON/OFF switch (top-left on the front) off, then back on (the battery keeps the badge running, so unplugging USB will not restart it):
| Hold | Result |
|---|---|
| Execute | USB firmware update (DFU mode) |
| Fire (joystick press) | Force safe e-paper waveform (ignore a bad LUT.CFG for that boot) |
| Execute + Cancel + Fire | Factory reset (~40 s — wipes data and settings) |
If the app slot is blank the badge enters DFU on its own.
USB drag-and-drop
Plug in USB-C — the badge mounts as the CYBR<4 hex> drive.
| File you drop | What it does |
|---|---|
ALARMS.ICS | Imports alarms + calendar events |
030000.PCX … 030009.PCX | Sponsor slides |
<6 hex>.PCX | Game sprite asset |
PETS.CFG | Add / rename pets (with sprite PCX files) |
BORNPETS.CFG | Custom pet balance (KEY=VALUE) |
LUT.CFG | Custom e-paper waveform (advanced) |
Reboot the badge after dropping files.
Firmware update (DFU)
dfu-util -d 1915:521f -D cyber-aegg.bin
Bootloader LEDs in DFU: red blink (idle) → solid blue (flashing) → solid green (done — power-cycle).
Charging
USB-C in any port charges the badge. There is no separate charge LED — the battery icon on the watch / status bar shows the level.
