Transcript

  1. Cons • Impossible to create a at scale prototype •

    Many extensions overkill for wearables
  2. Cons • No easy way to integrate Bluetooth or Wifi

    • Requires a physical connection to get data • Things like an accelerometer require a separate component
  3. Features • Bluetooth Support • Robust API for Android and

    IOS • Built in Sensors (temperature, accelerometer etc.) • Built in support for rechargeable batteries
  4. Specs • ! Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822 BLE SoC • !

    2.4 GHz transceiver • ! ARM®Cortex™-M0 32 bit processor • ! 256 kB flash program memory • ! 16 kB RAM • ! 8/9/10 bit ADC
  5. Specs Continued • Accelerometer • Temperature Sensor • Push Button

    Switch • Bright LED • Driver for vibration motor • micro usb chargable • I2C bus, and support for 4 digital/analog and 4 digital pins
  6. Bluetooth LE • Always off • Less Throughput • Often

    lower transmit power • Designed for low data low power Applications
