ToorCon 14 badge

Attendees at the recent ToorCon 14 conference in San Diego were provided this RF-enabled badge. Containing the same CC1110 radio circuit as the popular IM-Me, it’s a sub-1 GHz wireless transceiver controlled directly from your computer. The badge was designed by hardware maker Michael Ossmann, a Colorado-based engineer whose freelance embedded work has stretched across […]
