A charming fox-shaped wearable LED badge featuring 12 coloured LEDs and 12 light patterns. The Bearables Fox Badge is sewable, hackable, and wearable — perfect for e-textile projects and creative wearables.
Attach the badge using thread (normal or conductive), a safety pin, a small disc magnet, or double-sided sticky tape. Connect it to compatible Bearables analog sensors with conductive thread to add interactivity.
Key Features
- 12 Coloured LEDs – Blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and pink
- 12 Light Patterns – Cycle through patterns with the multi-functional button
- Multi-Functional Button – Mode change, sleep mode, and trigger mode
- PIC16F1503 Microcontroller – Datasheet
- Two Sewable Hooks – Connect to Bearables sensors with conductive thread
- Battery Life – 3–4 days with a CR2032 coin cell
- Dimensions – 47 × 35 × 5 mm (L × W × H)
How to Use
- Cycle Patterns – Press the button briefly to move through the 12 light patterns
- Sleep Mode – Press and hold the button to put the badge to sleep
- Trigger Mode – With a sensor connected, press and hold the button to enable trigger mode; the LEDs respond when the sensor is activated
- Connecting Sensors – Connect one hook on the badge to one hook on the sensor with conductive thread, then repeat for the other two hooks (polarity doesn't matter)
Ideal For
- Wearable electronics and e-textile projects
- Kids aged 8+ learning about circuits
- Creative wearables and costumes
Package Contents
- 1× Fox badge with 12 LEDs (multi-coloured)
- 1× CR2032 3V coin cell battery
- 1× Sticker sheet
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- conductive thread
- Thread made with metal or other conductive fibres so it can carry electricity while being sewn into fabric. It matters for wearable and textile projects because it can replace wire, but it has more resistance than normal hookup wire.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- Matter
- A smart home connectivity standard designed to let devices work across different ecosystems. It matters if you want a project to integrate more easily with platforms such as Apple Home, Google Home, or other Matter-compatible systems.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- Thread
- A low-power wireless mesh networking standard designed for smart home and IoT devices. It matters because Thread devices can relay messages through each other, helping build reliable networks for sensors and controllers.
