My DIY DEF CON Choker Has a Screen On It
At DEF CON, a first-time attendee built a custom choker with a screen and LED strips. They wanted a sleek and thin device that would be attractive and easy to talk to others. After selecting a screen from Panelook, they faced challenges with documentation and board design. They used the RP2350 microcontroller, a touch screen, and a micro SD card for storage.
The final case was designed to be thin, with a ledge for the screen and handles for the leather straps. After finishing the board, the reporter realized they had overlooked the touch screen and decided against adding a protective cover.
