Hexiwear is compact, wearable cool form factor Style and usability of a high-end consumer device in a dev kit. Efficiency and low power consumption. Powered by Kinetis K64 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M4 MCU. Features several advanced NXP sensors. Equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy. Works with compatible iOS/Android apps. Connects to the cloud.
Hexiwear is funded on Kickstarter, reaching 250% of intended goal.
Hexiwear has several preloaded applications that let you use it out of the box – but it will become your own only when you create new firmware. Bring forth your own ideas and discover Hexiwear’s full potential! Over The Air Programming let’s you upload a HEX file directly from the smartphone app. Alternatively, the docking station has an onboard programmer – all you need is a USB cable.
Expandability
Core functionality can be enhanced with hundreds of sensors and transceivers through click boards.
