I have one of these from back in the day, but you have to program it by hand using those tiny buttons… takes forever to input something relatively simple.
So totally gonna retrieve that from my fridge and play with it at work today.
@lichen the ones I bought from Meh a few years ago were bluetooth accessible, iPhone compatible, and also had a magnet clip to go along with the pin option. Oh, and they were two for $14.

Asking for carl669
@zachdecker Not now. They already sold the 11 pieces they had.
That software looks soooo shady
@darkzrobe looks like most of the simple VB config programs I have seen.
Fuck, I really wanted this.
@OldCatLady Well, they’re on Amazon for about 10 bucks.

Here is a demo on YouTube
Programming this with usb seems excessive…
@Felixaurelius how do you want to input the data? Wireless would cost more I guess.
@Felixaurelius Wonder if it really works with Windows V1.03 or 2.1 (for x286 processors)…

@curtise @lichen and this app no longer works/ is avalible
@curtise @jml326 @lichen I haven’t tried to program mine recently. Which is it: No longer works or no longer available?
@jml326 @lichen the ion app still works for me. https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/ion-smart-badge/id1059500826
@jml326 @kyser_soze - tested just to make sure…
Great success!
@curtise @jml326 cool! I’ve got the app on my old cellphone, got to find it and see if I can transfer it to my new phone! Thanks!
@curtise @Kyser_Soze maybe the company put it back out, or maybe it was discontinued for Android? I don’t recall, but have two of them to try later.
Another samples sale, ?
Thing I want? All gone
Wonder if these are the same? More color options.
