Nickname app for the card10 badge #cccamp2019

Features

• Simple and advanced mode
• battery indicator (needs to be tested for voltage thresholds)
• customizable colors
• turon on/off led (hold button for a few seconds right=off/left=on)
• automatic day/night mode

Install

The nickname app should come pre-installed with your device. In order to install or update it manually follow these steps:

Boot your Card10 into USB-Storage mode (hold down right while pressing power).

There are plan to simplify installing of apps using various tools. Right now you need to either download the module from the hatchery and put it in the apps in a folder called card10_nickname including an __init__.py with the code and a metadata.json which you can get somewhere from the hatchery.

The second option is to simply take the nickname.py and drop it in the apps directory.

Configure

Simple

1. Boot into USB storage mode
2. Put a file called nickname.txt on your card10
3. Write your nickname into the file (max 11 chars)
4. Boot into normal mode
5. Start the nickname.py app

Advanced

For more advanced nickname fun replace nickname.txt with a nickname.json with the following configuration

{
  "nickname": "card10",
  "subtitle": "cccamp2019",

  "background": [255,255,255],
  "fg_color": [153,186,0],
  "bg_color": [255,255,255],
  "fg_sub_color": [111,135,0],
  "bg_sub_color": [255,255,255],

  "background_night": [53,53,53],
  "fg_color_night": [153,186,0],
  "bg_color_night": [53,53,53],
  "fg_sub_color_night": [111,135,0],
  "bg_sub_color_night": [53,53,53],
  
  "battery": false,
  "battery_color_good": [0,255,0],
  "battery_color_ok": [255,215,0],
  "battery_color_bad": [255,0,0]
}

Nice to know:

• You can leave out every value except for the nickname, this will use the default settings
• If you leave out the text background the default background is taken
• If you use #time as subtitle the current time will be displayed Note This is currently WIP since you cannot eaisly set the system time.
