# GAT Nametag SC8
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a nametag quickly rushed for Supercon 8.
|
||
|
|
project details rambled at [this hackaday.io project page](https://hackaday.io/true/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a nametag addon that keeps your name always upright no matter the orientation. with fun RGB lighting and infrared messaging, maybe people will finally remember your name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
hardware designed from concept to order for fab in about 4 1/2 days. wasn't procrastinated, just way too busy to get it done...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rushed and hacked firmware based on a rushed and hacked port of rushed and hacked initial firmware written by true in 2019
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
hope people find it fun and interesting

||
|
|
|
||
|
|

## bugs, quirks, omissions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
individual MCU core bugs, quirks and omission are in each MCU's code directory. these are for the project as a whole.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- code isn't done. it never is.
|
||
|
|
- pulling on the LED from the non-soldered-pin side can damage the addon. this was a known issue going into this project. with the help of tape and passing on knowledge I hope people don't destroy their addons.
|
||
|
|
- to fix this would be to design my own oled board that is attached at both sides strongly.
|
||
|
|
- the GAT header was designed backwards. I always quadruple-check things like this but being rushed not only on this project but on several others means this still got missed.
|
||
|
|
- to fix this, future runs would have this redesigned.
|
||
|
|
- BLE may or may not ever work. it was a longshot dream when starting the project. if you want to get it working, solder a wire to the pad next to the "SUPERCON" text and give it a try... by writing the code to make it work, lol.
