A small OLED nametag addon that keeps your name always upright.

have 33 units ready for supercon. ready meaning the hardware is built; they're not tested and firmware isn't flashed. won't be flashing firmware until I can fix up a few more things for release.

lots of features I wanted to get done won't get done in time because hardware assembly went so long. will see what I can accomplish at con.

parts for another 30 or so addons are at the final assembly stage so those will be soldered on the first day. should have >60 nametags good to go by noon or so on the first day. not my initial target of over 100 but it's what I was able to deliver with a one week assembly and coding window.

hopeful to have 70-80 total roaming around the con. I don't plan on working on nametag hardware beyond the first day, instead focusing on software. hopefully I'll have time to walk around and see what people are doing or help people learn i2c but I feel like I am going to be drowned in making the features of the nametag work.
