Product details
A hackable, programmable badge with E Ink® display, powered by Raspberry Pi RP2040.
In honour of Raspberry Pi's 10th birthday, we've fused a RP2040 microcontroller with an EPD display to make a stylishly monochrome, maker friendly, e-paper badge(r) to attach to your person, your office door or to prop up on your desk. With the support of the fun guys (and gals and non-binary pals) at Ineltek and Raspberry Pi we've been able to keep it as low cost as possible, hoorah!
We've equipped Badger 2040 with plenty of buttons so you can easily change what's displayed on the screen, a slot so you can clip it onto a lanyard and a battery connector so you can keep things portable and refresh the screen whilst on the go. On the back, you'll find some funky badgerpunk stylings plus our RP2040 accoutrements of choice: boot and reset buttons and a Qw/ST connector so it's super easy to plug in Qwiic or STEMMA QT breakouts
Here are some things you could do with it!

- From the Manufacturer: <ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.75rem 0px; line-height: calc(1em + 0.3rem); color: rgb(61, 61, 61); font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.5rem 0px; line-height: calc(1em + 0.3rem);">2x AAA<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; line-height: calc(1em + 0.3rem);"> rechargeable (NiMH) batteries</strong> only puts out 2.4V which is, strictly speaking, not enough for Badger. However, in our tests it keeps on truckin' down to an input voltage of 2.05V (without the LED), so if you want to use rechargeable batteries that should be fine.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.5rem 0px; line-height: calc(1em + 0.3rem);">Alternatively, you can plug a <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; line-height: calc(1em + 0.3rem);">LiPo/LiIon battery</strong> into the battery connector, with the following caveats. Please only consider this if the person wearing the badge is an adult and knows what they're doing with LiPos!</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.5rem 0px; line-height: calc(1em + 0.3rem);">A solid enclosure or backplate to protect the battery from damage whilst being worn is a very good idea (or you could use one of our <a href="https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/galleon-400mah-battery" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/galleon-400mah-battery" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; line-height: calc(1em + 0.3rem);">Galleon hard case LiPo batteries</a>).</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.5rem 0px; line-height: calc(1em + 0.3rem);">There's no battery protection included on Badger 2040, so you should only use it with LiPo batteries that include internal protection (<a href="https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/lipo-battery-pack" target="_blank" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; line-height: calc(1em + 0.3rem);">all ours do</a>).</li></ul>
