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)
- 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)
