Build Your Own Animated Emoji Badge with Arduino Nano and OLED Display

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Wear your emotions on your sleeve—literally. This kit packs everything to create a animated badge that cycles through 8 expressive emoji faces on a crisp 0.96-inch OLED screen. Press a button to flip from happy to cool to laughing, all powered by an Arduino Nano. Whether pinned to a backpack or showcased at a school maker fair, the badge instantly sparks conversations and shows off your coding chops in the most playful way possible.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a compact circuit on a breadboard, upload the pre-written code, and start a animated emoji badge. The bright OLED displays one emoji at a time—press the primary button and watch it jump through a set of 8 distinct expressions. It’s a wearable, interactive art piece that makes electronics tangible and fun. Add a lanyard or clip, and you have a personal badge ready for any outfit or event.

What You'll Learn

• How to wire an I2C OLED display to an Arduino Nano on a breadboard
• Writing and uploading Arduino sketches to control a graphical display
• Reading digital input from a tactile button to trigger actions
• Customizing emoji designs and creating your own animations
