A Cool Electronic Business Card That Is A Scrolling Marquee Of Information

[Click here to view the video in this article]







Created by Tom Ward, this cool dot-matrix business card tells people more about you at the push of a button.



Ward made use of a five by 15 grid of LED lights that were connected to a single-chip “PIC” micro-controller. Some switches and resistors were used to complete the controller.



The business card is always on sleep mode, only activated at the push of the button.



It costs about US$5 to make, but some experience with electronics will come in handy.
