A penguin need a scarf?

HelloPenguin is a wearable pin powered by one CR2032 battery. It is a cute penguin with a woven scarf. The scarf changes its colour with RGB LED animations.

There are 10 RGB LEDs on the back. These LEDs are controlled and animated by an Microchip SAMD (ARM Cortex-M0+) micro-controller.

HelloPenguin is made of high quality PCB with lead-free ENIG finish. Look at the yellow copper feet.

The little penguin is shipped with a lot of default beautiful animations like rainbow and smooth colour transitions.

What's in the package?

1x Preprogrammed and fully assembled HelloPenguin

What makes it special?

Hackable: HelloPenguin has its source code available. It also comes with the SWD 10-pin header for flashing and debugging. So you can modify the source code and create more animations you love.

HelloPenguin is too cool

Great bright LED animations in a cute penguin shaped pin. Sure to be fun around the holidays. Ran into an issue with it freezing with off brand batteries, likely due to current draw and battery's internal resistance. So use high quality batteries! Good news is that the maker was very helpful in diagnosing the issue and with SWD port and GitHub repository software updates and customization should be easy.
