Today seems to be an especially bright day for my xSIID, the first photo below shoes it in a normally lit room. The red led in the picture is the standard power light on any microcontroller, it gives a good reference for the brightness.
In these next two photos (ignoring how washed out they are), the little “spike” out to the left seems to be the implant using the tendon in my hand as a sort of “light-pipe” (anyone got a better explanation?). In total darkness I can see the green light extending a good inch or so away from the implant site. The last photo shows the implants location lying up against the tendon on the back of my hand.
@Devilclarke was right, it’s an STM32. The pin out matches the nfc module perfectly so it can be soldered straight on.
In this case I was powering it with a phone charger, but if I connect it to a computer it’ll print out the UID.
The STM32 black pill costs between roughly $2 and $10 depending on source.
The PN532 module costs between about $5 and $20.
So, parts wise you are looking at roughly $7 to $30.
Other than that you need 4 header pins (provided with most of the options I saw) kapton tape and a soldering iron. I suspect you could use any insulation instead of the kapton tape if necessary.
I am assuming that there is probably sample code available for the microcontroller that could be repurposed as needed.
Hey everyone! I am wanting to put together a little video for a sale on xSIID we’re planning and I was hoping someone could post a quick 5 second video or so of them scanning their implant with a phone to bring up like a linktree or personal website or linkedin profile?
Just got xSIID installed yesterday. Seems so be working this morning. Just a thread for you guys to post your lights working, and projects you plan to do with them. I got a white xSIID (though I think it’s coming out this red since its going through tissue, which I feel kind of dumb for for not expecting)
