A Pimoroni Badgeware Tufty 2350 — wearable badge with a 2.8” colour IPS LCD screen, polycarbonate case, lanyard, built-in LiPo battery, and five front buttons. Currently running a nearly-complete Space Invaders. The actual goal is a chore tracker for my son Fred, because nothing motivates a child like a device that won’t stop reminding them.
The Badgeware Tufty is Pimoroni’s wearable badge platform. 2.8” IPS LCD at 320×240, RP2350B running at 250MHz, 16MB flash, 8MB PSRAM, 1000mAh LiPo with USB-C charging, five front buttons, Qw/ST connector for breakouts. Sturdy polycarbonate case, comes with a lanyard. It’s a proper bit of kit — not a development board in a bag, an actual finished wearable product.
Attached to mine: a Qw/ST Pad (tiny I2C game controller) and a Multi-Sensor Stick for environmental and motion sensing. Case is already printed for the whole assembly.
Space Invaders is nearly done on the colour LCD. Needs minor tidying and a final commit before anything else changes. Non-negotiable rule: finish and commit the working thing before starting the next thing.
The serious application is a task tracker for Fred. The idea:
Fred is eight. He needs reminding. The badge does not forget and cannot be argued with. These are features.
