__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Badgeware is Pimoroni’s smart interactive badge with colour 2.8″ TFT display, powered by Raspberry Pi RP2350.

This version is the Tufty 2350, it’s an all-in-one badge wearable with a vibrant 2.8″ IPS LCD screen, built-in rechargeable battery and sturdy polycarbonate case. Hang it round your neck with the (included) Tufty lanyard or prop it up on your desk, either way it’s ready to go straight out of the box. It’s way more than just a event badge too, the colour screen would also be great for displaying art, tiny games or sensor dashboards.
