2016-Sep-14 Today the UPS truck pulled up unexpectedly and dropped off an "Anaren Bluetooth' Smart Development Kit."

Hey, it's a gift from Anaren! COOL.

  • ARM Cortex M3 processor
  • 512M RAM
  • Bluetooth Smart AKA BLE
  • Accelerometer
  • RGB LED
  • IR sensor
  • IR emitter
  • IR non-contact temperature sensor
  • Buzzer
  • Joystick w button
  • Current sensor

First thoughts. Make it portable else no point in the compass and accelerometer. So it needs a box and a battery.

Hook up a GPS module so it knows where it is. Ordered one from Sparkfun

Make big fitness monitor.

Cypress

They have a cool <$20 kit too based on the same BCM20737 PSoC but theirs is in a plastic case and includes a humidity sensor. You can get them from DigiKey. http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/cypress-semiconductor-corp/BCM9WICED_SENSE2/428-3641-ND/6150847

Cypress bought Broadcomm so now if you want to use the dedicated SDK instead of Atmosphere, go to https://community.cypress.com/docs/DOC-2793
