Currently on the bench! The plan: a badge that scrolls whatever text you send it, with a printed shell that clips onto a backpack strap.
Where it’s at
- ✅ Shell design v1 printed — the clip works!
- ✅ Matrix scrolling text in the test rig
- 🔧 Battery + charging circuit next
- 🔧 Then: making the text editable from a phone
This one is designed to be my most beginner-friendly build — if you’ve never soldered before, this is the project I’d start you on. Full video and files when it’s done.
