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.

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.
- ...but the intent was to have a kit to solder.
- ...but with how complicated this is, I am not sure it should be a kit. I dunno.f
- the GAT header was accidentally implemented mirrored. 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.
