your name in (led) lights

You’ll be the center of attention with this little gadget which lets you wear your own miniature LED scrolling sign board.

LED Name Badge

The $39 Infrared LED Name Badge is a tiny version of those scrolling signs you see all over the place. It’s got an array of 12 x 40 LEDs which can be programmed wirelessly via an infrared transmitter which connects to your computer’s USB port. The included software lets you create messages in a variety of fonts, and also include images and set scroll direction, speed and other effects just like its larger cousins.

If you’d rather not spend 39 bucks, check out these LED dog tags, which cost about half as much, but don’t offer as much programmability.

Please DO NOT BUY THIS!!! This is good looking piece of …it. Nobody knows how to use it.

I bought my from mobilefun.co.uk. They didnt know how to use it! Brando doesnt know… Actually Gadget Brando has not even reply my friendly asking emails at all. Completly ignoring.

Problem is that there is not instructions how to set led badge receive messages via IR. There isnt manual for badge at all! Only lousy word file how to set up drivers.

If someone knows, please tell. Please tell to gadget brando too.
