well icebreaker board could be used as a badge :) most conference badges do not have a name on them. Ice breaker with 4 LEDs and 3 buttons can be programmed with simple demo code.

There is the option to have an additional PMOD board connected to the iceBreaker with additional IO (like 8*8 matrix display, button, microphone, ..) and fixated with plastic straps.pic.twitter.com/HF1YgpAico

Right. And 8x8 is enough for even dispalying names scrolling. Additional board can be even hand soldered and produced faster if needed.

The question is: How would you provide the power supply as a nice and cheap and wearable solution :-(

Probably a small LiPo, 100-200mAh should be fine if well designed. Might want switching reg for 1.2V at least though.

I would look into using the AA aka. 14500 format LiPo cells. The holders are easy to get, rechargable, include battery protection circuitry and are more sturdy in a conference environment than the flat pack batteries. I would include battery charging on board too...

That's a good idea, I would agree with that - unless we wanted to go crazy low power and use something like LIR2450 or even LIR2032.

I made some paper samples of a badge to test handling and button press position, and I like this layout the most (one or two AAA).pic.twitter.com/Rp6VRJwFXU

Maybe as different board with the LED part as break-off section. (Small battery and step-up circuit on the back.)pic.twitter.com/g3UOT0Sm4a

Looks awesome, still wondering whether a tiny OLED or LCD would be better or not though

I agree. I just copied and pasted the display module from the other posts. ;)

My idea was to use the iceBraker as it is (which is manufactured in larger number), and let the people solder the IO PMOD so that they can have a Badge. This would reduce the cost of the PMOD massively (not like 3*BOM costs). LCD connectors can not be soldered by people.

I know a bunch of
#badgelife people. Letting the attendees solder anything is a very bad idea! It ends up in a huge support effort during the event. :(0 replies 0 retweets 3 likes
