cool blog!!!

Hey guys, The bonus accessories were a thermistor (blue component/490-7167-ND) and a photocell (PDV-P8103-ND). These came with two bias resistors (S10KCACT-ND and 49.9KXBK-ND) so that you can hook them up to the MetaWear board. You can Google t…

heathborders,Don't forget the Pebble is dual mode so it uses both BLE and Bluetooth Classic.
-
lbattraw;Thanks a million for the feedback! We will publish our Apps in the App Store and on Google Play as soon as they are stable so this doesn't happen again.
-
This site has lots of batteries you could use with MetaWear: http://www.powerstream.com/li-pol.htmI use it often for small batch prototypes.

It is possible the bytes are reversed so you will need to sniff for this UUID: 5AE7BAFB-4C46-DDD9-9591-CB8500906A32
-
valik,Use an iBeacon sniffing app such as the Radius Network app or this Ray Wenderlich iBeacon tutorial app here:http://www.raywenderlich.com/66584/ios7-ibeacons-tutorial By default, the MetaWear will advertise the following beacon message so t…

subtill, It can take up to 60 seconds for a checksum and board reset to occur once the firmware update is complete. During that time, the board will not advertise and will not be connectable. Please wait a few seconds after an update before attempt…

samsgates, is it working properly with the battery soldered to the board?
-
I will ask the owner of that CAD model if he can do a release with a "hole" for a necklace.Great idea Ideluca!!

Hey guys,I'll be releasing a hack on using this Heart Rate sensor here: http://pulsesensor.myshopify.com/
-
samsgates, tobynextdoor is right, you can use a transistor and attach it to one of the GPIO pins to connect the buzzer. Then you can just use the high current haptic driver pin to directly connect the vibrating motor to the board.I'll be releasing i…
-
samsgates,Thanks! I will be adding a new option on the online store (www.mbientlab.com/store) to purchase a pre-assembled MetaWear that is soldered and comes with a 3D printed case. Also if you email me at hello@mbientlab.com I can help you fulfil…
-
MagneTagcelfa, this is in progress. We will let you know when we release it.
-
peter,The Metawear boards used to come with smaller batteries until recently. I will enlarge the current CAD model we host to fit the new battery the boards ship with. You can download STL files from the Shapeways store, can you modify those? I am…
-
jonathanlking,That's really awesome! I will publicize it!!!!! gurudude30, Someone was able to do this in Android already, you might find them on the forum somewhere.
-
@maro, Check out these Pulse Sensor guys, there made a really amazing heart rate sensor and had a really good crowdfunding campaign: http://pulsesensor.myshopify.com/. I'm planning on doing a hack with the Pulse Sensor as soon as I can and I w…
-
moloned,You should look at the accelerometer code on the Android App. It is a good way to get started with the accelerometer interface. If you need more information you can email me at hello@mbientlab.com
-
ldeluca,You are awesome! I will tell everyone on all the social channels!!!!
-
Hey hamami, My personal favorite is the AOYUE 968A and the HAKKO 936. I can do SMT soldering and rework with my naked eye (even BGAs) using those tools! I find these are fairly priced: http://www.amazon.com/Updated-Aoyue-Digital-Soldering-abs…
-
samsgates,Our firmware contains proprietary code that we are not legally allowed to open source. You should check out this project: https://mbed.org/platforms/Nordic-nRF51822/ I also wrote a firmware dev guide on the development page at www.…

MetaWear 128-bit based UUID: 326Axxxx-85CB-9195-D9DD-464CFBBAE75A
-
Hey guys,We are in the process of adding support for this in iOS and there should be a release soon.
-
Hey xvision, The iOS API currently supports all of your feature you mentioned above. Please check out the iOS sample app which allows you to dynamically select between all these features.
-
Hey hamami,We used the awesome bands from the PocketBands guys for our hacks: http://www.pocketbands.com/ I highly recommend them. We are in the process of talking to a few designer buddies to add new CAD files to our repertoire (i.e Shapeways st…
-
Hey bmp After a firmware update an automatic checksum and reset occurs on the MetaWear devices which can take up to 60 seconds depending on the transfer speed and size of the new firmware file. Please make sure the device is not interrupted during t…
-
myvillage: You can use the Nordic or Radius Network mobile App to "sniff" and detect Bluetooth Low Energy devices such as the MetaWear. Some phones such as the iOS phones require that a device advertise a very specific packet in order to show up in …
-
Hey guys, We can't power the ultra bright RGB LED off of the USB power alone because the battery recharging circuit can't handle rapidly changing loads such as a 60mA LED switching on and off. If you put a large capacitor on the USB input line then …
-
Hey guys, If you use the Nordic or Radius Network Apps you can search for nearby Bluetooth devices and you will find the MetaWear advertising. That's a sure way to know it's working (the MetaWear 128-bit BLE UUID is 326A9000-85CB-9195-D9DD-464CFBB…
