Trying to think of a use for a BLE wearable dev board now I've got one...

@maalouf Have you tried a generic Bluetooth LE app such as the Nordic nRF master control panel: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp Might be worth it to see if that works and communicates with the board. An…

That VB.NET project has only the following colours recognizable from speech: red, green, blue, yellow, white and off. Should be easy enough to convert those to RGB using if or case statements: Dim choices As New System.Speech.Recognition.Choices({…

I have no idea how you can get a computer to convert the names of thousands of different colours (are there names for thousands of different colours?) into their RGB equivalents without enumerating them all, so I can't help you any more. Andrew

OK, my advice for what it's worth. If you can't complete the task in one go, break it down into smaller pieces that you stand a chance of understanding then put them all together at the end. So I would: * Learn how to develop general Android app…

@samsgates I've discovered you can change the device name using the Nordic nRF Master Control Panel app which talks to any BLE device. Get it here for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp Andrew

@steven I use the nRF Master Control Panel app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp) on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and it shows the battery percentage fine for the MetaWear board. Is that what your using? Andrew

I think I'll leave answering that to someone else with more patience than me, sorry. Andrew

Looks like it's now available on https://mbientlab.com/store/ at the bottom of the page. $89 plus shipping including a case. Andrew

The android API lets you specify the intensity of the red, blue and green channels of the LED from 0 to 31. So in theory you can create 32*32*32 = 32768 different colors (if you count both fully off and white as colours). In practice I've been playi…

Ooh, I'd love to give this a go as I've got a shiny new Windows 8.1 tablet. Is your code on Github or somewhere accessible? Andrew

And if you're unsure about your soldering skills you can do what I've done and buy one of these JST battery connectors: http://proto-pic.co.uk/jst-right-angle-connector-through-hole-2-pin/ If you wiggle it you can just about get the pins to go…

@ldeluca Will do.

Hi. That Cordova plugin sounds really useful and might open up Metawear development to a much larger group of people (web app developers). I notice though that you've named your LED control function "neopixel" - I think that might be really confusin…

If you got the same kit as me the two sensors are a thermistor (for measuring temperature) and a light-dependent resistor. Andrew

People are having some success using a Raspberry Pi and the TI sensortag Bluetooth LE device. Perhaps some of the stuff there would be useful to you: http://mike.saunby.net/2013/04/raspberry-pi-and-ti-cc2541-sensortag.html Andrew
