Atomwear - Micro, Modularized, Open source, Nordic based Wearable BLE project


ATOMWARE is a great and insteresting project based on Nordic BLE chipset from Giayee, aims to create an easy-to-use, expandable deveopment kit for anyone who want to start a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) project, provides a new development mode for BLE project, just like children playing with building blocks. Atomwear is an adventrous design for DIYers.



Features in Atomwear
 
It’s modular in design!
Giayee designed many micro-sized modules, including BLE MCU module, battery charger module, acceleration sensor module, baroceptor module, temperature sensor module, gyroscope module,  OLED display module, heart rate sensing module,etc.Each of  module performs one or two functions, which then can be assembled together to create a variety of cool products. The possibilities are endless!

It has a 24-pin uniform interface!
All the modules have an uniform 24-pin interface . Atomwear’s interface board has six 24-pin sockets, connected  in parallel, for your different modules.
 
It’s completely customizable!
Of the six sockets, two of them will default to be a power supply module and a BLE MCU module, as they are essential to any BLE projects.The remaining four sockets can be used to add any other functions. The only thing need to do is to design a new module with Atomwear’s uniform interface.

It’s tiny!
Battery : 20mm*10mm*3.0mm with 40mAh.
MCU board: 10mm*21mm.
Other boards: 10mm*10mm.
                    
It’s totally Open source!
Giayee will provide samples ,the demo android app and API of Atomwear for backers, and also will open all their source code to them.
 

 
Currently, Giayee has the the design for a mould and the first trial sample. They can become an actual wearable device soon. Giayee need  supporters  to fund the production of it to buy components in bulk quantities at much lower prices,as well as be able to have the Atomwear boards assembled professionally. This has a direct benefit to supporters, as you will get a more powerful Atomwear at a lower price. If anyone has any interests, please support Atomwear on kickstarter
