HELLO! My Name Is LED Nametag Kit

=================================

Your name in lights! Spell out up to 5 characters

Project description: [Analog Machines Nametag](http://analogmachines.com/p/nametag)

With the HELLO! My Name Is LED Nametag Kit you can stand out from the crowd, 

instead of scrawling your name on the ubiquitous "Hello, My Name Is:" stickers.

Next time you're at a meet and greet party at your local hackerspace, there 

will be no mistaking that you are a maker.

The nametag kit is a perfect first or second soldering project and is the 

greatest alternative to stick on name tags that we've ever seen.

It comes with 4 built-in programs: all on, letter chase, fade, and blink. 

There's also a power saving mode.

As part of the project, we've developed a simple [font and a name layout tool]

(http://analogmachines.com/p/nametag/name.html). 

Right now, our font only supports 5 letters or less. 

Check it out and see how your name will look! 

Check out the [build instructions](http://analogmachines.com/p/nametag/build/) 

for an idea of what's involved.

Compile instructions

--------------------

For Linux you need to have avr-gcc, avr-libc and binutils-avr installed. For 

Windows you need WinAVR.

After cloning this project you can compile it simply by entering:

`cd "path to your project location"`

`make`

If you also have avrdude installed you can also write the programm to the 

microcontroller (to "flash" it):

`make program`

If you have a different programmer than the default you can pass parameters

to avrdude. This example is for the Atmel Dragon using ISP:

`make program AVRDUDE_PORT=usb AVRDUDE_PROGRAMMER=dragon_isp`
