So I was thinking today after I learned about the new www.zombadge.com. I would like to see if we can teach 1000 students to solder. I think it would be really cool to make our own zombadge....but a bit different from the games that have been posted for the zombadge (detective, etc). What about if we make a badge that transmits and receives infections IR codes. Start with one person infected. It begins transmitting infection. All "Humans" once infected for a certain amount of time turn into "Zombies." So Green to Red LED. Another twist would be Zombie Killing Guns that become infected but could also kill zombies. So imagine two PCBs.
ZombieBadge and ZombieGun
I have just finished laying out the ZombieBadge and will begin the ZombieGun if everyone agrees that its a cool idea.
So what do you think....$10 (TBD) tickets. We order the PCBs and parts, bag them, then teach people how to solder in IdeaLab the week before Halloween. Then Monday Oct. 31st everyone meets in the attrium for some Zombie killin'
Here is the ZombieBadge so far.
Imagine the PCB in green soldermask and white silkscreen (sort of how it appears below). The battery is on the back, LEDs on the eyes, ATtiny85 with ISP, IR TX on the nose and IR RX in the mouth. 13 parts total.
