  • The features of this Queercon badge are these.
    • 60 cyan LEDs.
    • A button.
    • RF modules to have connection to other badge.
  • There is this premade feature that when the user push he button it will "spread" the LED color into badges nearby. This is pretty cool.
  • This shows me that RF connection can be used to broadcast data into nearby gadget.
