PILKBADGE

Buranyaaa! If you love ironically drinking pilk (50% pepsi, 50% milk mix), or like anime women, this badge is for you!

This is a fun project we did at hackerspace. @weaselcore did the art, @critbit made it into a PCB.

After inserting the bottles, the eyes glow up. Inserting bottles requires a bit of wiggling, since the holes are a bit skewed - after inserting, they more-or-less stay in place.

how to assemble your badge

You will need:

  • 1x Pilkbadge neko
  • 1x milk bottle, 1x bepis bottle
  • 2x LEDs, size 0603 or 0805 (soldered upside-down)
  • 2x 0603 resistors, value between 470 and 200 ohm (the brightest)
  • 2x 4pin 2.54mm headers (soldered to the bottles)
  • a generic CR2032 battery holder
  • a glued-in pin (optional)

On 1st revision board, there's also an option for using a LiPo charger PCB instead of CR2032 holder, but this is not supported, nor advised. Do it on your own risk.

  • Another random person who suggested that Neko Arc could also hold other items than pilk ingridients - we might add this feature in future revisions.
