This is the TinyGo nametag. It sports 18 individually addressable RGB LEDs, a buttong, a minuscule ATTINY1616 as its brains, a brooch on the back to hang it on your clothes and a big white area on the front to write your name (or whatever you want) with permanent markers (easily removable with the help of a bit of alcohol), perfect to display your creativity. The nametag is powered by the ubiquitous CR2032 coin cell that you can find everywhere and its battery life surpass 30h+.  The nametag comes with several pre-defined effects, but you could write your own using Go. For programming the board you’ll need a UPDI programmer like Adafruit’s UPDI Friend (more information in the code repository).
