Need help with Beetle
Boccabella David 2016-06-23 21:14:43 2032 Views3 Replies Hi Folks.
I am working on a self contained project that will have a BLE Beetle in it. Unfortunately I cannot give the full details of the project except that the Beetle and Charger will be worn in the cheek cavity of the wearer (Think of Squirrels carrying nuts) It will also need to be as slim as possible.
I will need to encapsulate the Beetle in silicone complete with a small lipo battery and a way to charge the battery and then power the Beetle from it. A removable plug will enable the Beetle to be plugged into a USB port for downloading of data and recharging.
Ideally the board size will be the same as the Beetle. If worse then I can use a rechargable coin battery for it. Because the Beetle runs a 5v I cannot use a CR2032 or equivalent directly.
Can anyone help here? This project is currently stalled because f this requirement
Many thanks
Dave

The BLE Beetle will require current between 20mA and 30mA for the BLE chip and ATmaga328. Wendy.Hu

Many thanks for your reply. I have since found a small board that will power the BLE Beetle using a small LIPO battery.
What I now need to find our is how much current the BLE Beetle will require.
Many many thanks

Sorry my mother tongue is not English, I didn't get you fully, so what's your problem here?
Do you think the lipo battery is too large for you project?
Actually I am not sure if you have programmed any chip using AVR programmer or something else, or can do some soldering? Hence it is possible for you to make the Bluno Beetle working at 3.3V that the coin battery can be used here.
Or I misunderstood anything? Leff
