    A MIFARE Classic 1k on a flexEM antenna — and optionally with an LED. Discontinued due to material waste and antenna enamel degradation over time.

  • 2020/8 - Titan Biomagnet Campaign

    The titanium-encapsulated biomagnet, brought to market across three crowdfunding campaigns. Production ceased — small, high-precision parts at the volumes needed simply weren't cost-effective.
