Show off your blink! xSIID NFC + LED Gallery (+Glow)

[DeprvationT]

It’s really encouraging to see people post that it took a while for their xSIIDs to show clearly in daylight. Got mine (blue) yesterday, and before seeing the posts about waiting for swelling, etc. to go down I was a bit worried, as the light could only be seen in a completely dark room.

My blue one shows most excellent

I put xSIIID this monday and it works well since minute 1. I can’t take a photo, i will do it

My blue xSIID

What microcontroller is that? Almost looks like a proton c.

It’s an STM32 black pill

I did a writeup of the device here:

PN532 with STM32

I’ve recently been messing around with the STM32 - BlackPill microcontroller, and found that the pinout exactly matches that of the PN532 NFC module. Allowing them to be soldered directly toegether into a small form factor rfid scanner (with USB type-C!). I first soldered header pins to the NFC module, then pried off the plastic spacer. Next I put down a strip of Kapton tape to insulate the two boards. Lastly, I placed the STM32 hard up against the NFC module and soldered it into place, befor…

Here’s mine.

Someone mentioned that we should worry that theres something like cryptolocker in these chips. Will my spleen get encrypted and ill have to pay bitcoin to get access back ?

Close, it’s called CryptLocker and you pay Bitcoin or end up in a Crypt.

They’ve decided that repeat custom just isn’t as profitable as those big payouts, especially when they then sell your body parts off anyway after you’ve paid them.

Funny idea there could be such a thing for these chips, no you shouldn’t worry.

I imagine an app that reads the NDEF, saves it, sets the NDEF to a link to a ransom note.

And then maybe changing the password and maybe even more config.

Question: As an attacker I have the NExT/DNGR password, could I set it to be written only with the password?

Whatever, this is highly unlikely to be done in real life as it wouldn’t be paying much. Best an attacker can get is like price of implant and install, there are better ways for criminals to make money.

there are better ways for criminals to make money.

And much much easier ones …
Same reason lock picking is not used for burglary …

I know it says LED Gallery but… but… what about glow?

Is that a normal glow in the dark subdermal, or one of those DT LED+ glow prototypes that Amal was talking about?

That would be his custom DoNExT:

Update on custom DoNext in place of old flexNext

A while ago I got one of the first flexNexts and the leds died so got a custom replacement with glow powder, a more rigid polymer and reinforcements over the leds. It’s been in for almost two months now: The LEDs are fine (reinforcements might have worked?). The NFC tag was dead in the first two weeks (kinda expected but not that early). The glow is visible in complete darkness (might get brighter over time, it’s not as bright as I expected it to be yet). Aesthetically it’s not much differe…

It was a replacement for his flexNExT, which met the same fate as most other flexNExTs. It was a similar idea, but with a hole punched in the middle, which was hoped to have fixed the failure issues (it didn’t, it seems). His post has more info, but AFAIK, he has the only one with glow powder.

Bit late for me, but seeing Coma’s power button and now your glowy flexNExT, I want one too now.

Does the implant still work by the way?
