How to make a badge #

Making a NeoInfinity badge is relatively simple: It needs to be soldered and programmed, and then a fitting power supply must be sourced. For anyone familiar with Arduino and SMD soldering, this should be a walk in the park. The following pages are a comprehensive guide on how to accomplish the above. Follow, deviate and skip as necessary.

Time estimate of active work: 1 hour. (Can be reduced to about 20 minutes with some practice if doing batch production.) Time estimate including waiting for parts: A couple of weeks. Breakdown:

  • PCB production and component ordering (waiting): 1-3 weeks.
  • PCB assembly: 15-45 minutes.
  • Programming and configuration: 10 minutes.

All required PCB files and code for producing a badge is available in the NeoInfinity repository.
