TinySaber

Defend the galaxy with the new TinySaber! Built around the ATtiny841 microcontroller this product features sixteen vibrant SK6812mini RGB LEDs, capacitive touch sensors, an accelerometer and a micro-USB port for battery charging and device programming. You can use the touch sensors to turn the device on and off, change color patterns, and even display Persistence-Of-Vision (POV) text! A double tap can change the base color of the TInySaber to red, green, or blue. 

The ATtiny841 is reprogrammable so you'll be able to customize your TinySaber experience with some basic coding knowledge. You can display your own POV text or make custom color patterns.
