Take a look at this attractive piece for open hardware. It’s what you’ll be using around your neck at the open Hardware summit this year. WyoLum teamed up with Repaper for the screen as well as Seeed Studios for the boards.
It’s called the BADGEr as well as it’s both an Arduino and as well as Arduino shield. There are a number of different power options; coin-cell, microUSB, unpopulated barrel jack, or the lanyard terminals if you want to wear the power supply around your neck. You can see the five short-lived push buttons see above, however on the back you’ll discover the microSD card slot together with a power switch for preserving the coin cell.
Check out the video below for a quick look. In addition to serving as your credentials the seminar routine comes preloaded. as well as of course, this is an open source style so you can dig with schematic, board artwork, as well as code at the page linked above. Oh, as well as the very first hack has already been pulled off. Here’s the badge reading Crime as well as Punishment.
Speaking of seminar badges, DEF con starts this week. Hackaday writer [Eric Evenchick] will be there as well as we hope he has a possibility to look in on a few of the badge hacking at the event.
