Atomwear

Atomwear is a micro, modularized, open source, wearable BLE device for DIYers. It makes any BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) projects easier.



Atomwear features  

  •  It’s modular in design!
We have 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 as shown below. Atomwear’s interface board has six 24-pin sockets, connected  in parallel, for your different modules. you can then place the modules in any of the six positions in the direction of the arrows! If you think the base board is too long, you can cut it shorter. Otherwise, if you think one base board is not enough, we will provide free a connector board which acts as a bridge to connect two base board to backers who fund two or more atomwears.
In addition,the 24-pin module contains 1*SPI, 1*UART, 1*I2C, 1*SWD, 6*ADC/GPIO + 2*GPIO, so it is flexible to extend more modules. For conenvience, we call the board with six 24-pin sockets “base board”.
  • 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. We currently have a bunch of other designs available, such as GPS module, wireless charger module, bar code reader module, NFC module, etc.
 If you have a good idea, feel free to contact and share with us!
  • It’s tiny! 
Battery : 20mm*10mm*3.0mm with 40mAh.
MCU board: 10mm*21mm.
Other boards: 10mm*10mm.
  •  It’s totally Open source!
Atomwear aims to create an easy-to-use, micro-sized, expandable development kit for anyone who want to start a BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) project.
We will provide samples for backers, and will open all our source code to them.

We will also provide the demo android app and API of Atomwear. This app allows for exchanging of data with BLE devices through a Bluetooth connection, whereas the typical BLE project will need you to develop the BLE firmware and phone app yourself.BLE device firmware is usually written in C language and assemble language, while the phone apps are almost written in java, Hence, you will derive a lot of benefit from the source  code which we have released.
