Nametag Reverse Engineering

Reverse-engineering a LED nametag display to be programmed using a Linux system.

Demo video

Made during the MLH Local Hack Day 2018, Kiel.

The application to program the display in the nametag was available for Windows systems only, so we reverse engineered the USB connection protocol and implemented it in a simpler way for use across different OSes(Linux, Windows and potentially MacOS).

Usage

Example:

python usb_reverse_eng.py "HELLO" --mode centered --lamp 1 --flash 0
