Small update - Video posted!
July 8th - via: kickstarter.com
It's 2am and I've been up for about 24 hours now (Hooray for 3am shifts!), but I did get a quick and dirty video of the DigiBadge in action. There are some modifications to the board - I had to do some surgery to fix a problem with the PCB, so that's... (Read More)
Another day, not just another update.
July 7th - via: kickstarter.com
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! I have excellent news for you guys. I received the box of prototype boards in earlier today, and after a bit of soldering and a bit of stress, I can happily say that the DigiBadge is now fully functional and... (Read More)
FTDI Interface Devices for hacking
July 6th - via: kickstarter.com
As many of you are interested in having a go at reprogramming the DigiBadge, there's going to be a bit of interest in just how that's going to be done. It should be fairly straightforward - So long as you have an FTDI cable/connector. You'll need a... (Read More)
Success!
July 3rd - via: kickstarter.com
Earlier this morning, we had our 26th backer and, shortly later, a 27th. This has put us to the slightly repetitive but good number of $777! I couldn't have done this without you guys. I wish I had more news than just "YAY!" but things take a while... (Read More)
What a day!

This is why you prototype.
June 27th - via: kickstarter.com
So, I have news, everyone! The reason for prototyping - Making sure everything works properly - is very sound and has proven its purpose with these prototypes. Mainly, I found another issue that, unfortunately, makes these prototypes next to... (Read More)
They're here! First prototype boards have arrived.
June 25th - via: kickstarter.com
I've mentioned, mostly on twitter, how I've ordered some test PCBs and have been waiting for them to arrive. The boards in their packaging Well, they got here today! Only for me to realize I forgot to order one of the parts... That'll be here... (Read More)
Halfway there!
June 24th - via: kickstarter.com
The other day we passed the halfway point in funding, and we have 2 days before we hit the halfway point in time left. I am confident that this will be funded, even if not as fast as some other projects. See you at the finish line! (Read More)
Minor Update - The new board!
June 20th - via: kickstarter.com
I just spent the past few hours doing this guy up. If you look at the main image of the campaign (Yet to be updated), then you can easily tell the size difference. The screen isn't quite as large as the board - From this orientation, the screen's... (Read More)
Screen news!
June 20th - via: kickstarter.com
Good day, ladies and gentlemen! I've mentioned a few times that I was waiting for the screens I wanted to use to arrive so I could test it and measure it to make sure the PCB I was designing worked nicely. Those came in today. First, my guesses for... (Read More)

A slight redesign... Everything's better!
June 14th - via: kickstarter.com
I have some excellent news! On twitter, I was asked why I was using a 9v and if it'd be too bulky. My initial response was no, it's not too bulky, but it also prompted some investigation. The reason I had chosen the 9v was it was easy to deal with,... (Read More)
Update: Day One
June 12th - via: kickstarter.com
Don't worry, I won't be updating this every day. That'd get old really quickly. I do have to say, though, these first 24 hours have been amazing. We're 29% funded in the span of less than a day. So, thank you! And of course, if you know anyone that... (Read More)
