MagicBand + Unicorn Hat = Dazzling!

When you visit Disney world these days, you get an RFID bracelet that they call a MagicBand. I repurposed it to display different patterns based upon which band is held up to a Raspberry Pi. The MagicBand has a pretty standard MiFare RFID chip in it that can be read by the generic USB RFID reader I had. I put my code up here: https://github.com/robotastic/smartband

and a write up of my project here: http://lukeberndt.com/2015/magicbands-rpi-leds-fun/
