• Fairy light, ~20 LED LED "vine", purple, powered by 3xAA batteries. $2, batteries not included.

Battery packs

• 5V USB battery pack. 8500mAh. Dual output, 1A and 2.1A heads. Displays remaining capacity and discharge rate via LED display. $15 w/1x microUSB charger cable.
• 5V USB battery pack. 2000mAh. Single output, 1A head. No UI. $3 w/1x microUSB charger cable.

Phage Pager

Light controller and paging badge, for phage campers only. Please note quantities are limited: only 50 pieces with radio, and up to 80 pieces without radio can be made. Sign-up sheet is pending first working prototype.

Features this year include:

• Greatly reduced cost
  • Version with radio, accelerometer, microphone, and LED driver: $20
  • Version with just LED driver: $10

All versions include:

• STM32F microcontroller
  • drive hundreds of LEDs
  • multiple strip driver ports
  • Possible to daisy chain to create matrix display (requires you to code up comms bus)
  • Program STM32F via serial port using FTDI serial cable (same as used on Arduino)
  • 4x UI butons to make it easier to change patterns and adjust brightness
• Simple form factor
  • USB-A plug can plug directly into battery pack with no cable
  • USB-A plug is more robust and can handle more abuse than microUSB
  • USB-A plug is for power only. It does not show up as a USB device.
  • 68mm x 25mm in-line form factor

Radio version includes:

• 900 MHz radio pager, compatible with 2013 badge
  • SMA coax whip antenna, 1/4 wave 2" antenna provided
  • Estimate 2-4x range of last year's badge
  • Better performance in a crowd of people
• Single built-in diagnostic LED to indicate when being paged
  • Typically combined with WS2812 belt lights for better effect
  • Features open-drain driver which can power, for example, a laser mounted upward so it's easy to find people in a crowd
• Accelerometer
  • Disable laser driver output when user is not standing upright
  • 800Hz update rate, can work as a pedometer if someone would write software for it
• Silicon MEMS microphone (should handle dust better than electret cartridge mic)
