which product to use for wearable wrist band w/ accel and bluetooth

Post by dalegr »

Hi AdaFruit,

I'm loving a lot of these modules and wondering which to use for a wrist band that send accelerometer values to an android phone over bluetooth. I see the a bluefruit to start with but that's out of stock and a spec big. any suggestions so I can make the shopping list. BLE/Accel/Battery.

Thanks,
Dalegr

The Feather nRF52840 Sense might be a good choice https://www.adafruit.com/product/4516. It has LiPo support including charging (just plug in USB), BLE, a powerful processor, and several sensors including a 9-dof motion sensor (accel, gyro, * mag).

It's not the smallest, but smaller than a CircuitPlayground Bluefruit, and probably as small as you'll get with the same feature set.
