Build Instructions
Step 1: Unbox MetaWear
Open your MetaWear kit and prepare to build!
Step 2: Solder the Battery to the Board
The battery included in the MetaWear kit will have wire leads. Solder the wire leads to the positive and negative battery pins on the MetaWear board.
Step 3: Tuck the Electronics Inside your Favorite Keychain.
We found an old plastic keychain laying around that fit MetaWear perfectly and placed the battery and board inside. Feel free to find a keychain that works for you and your style at your favorite store. You can even tuck the bare board and battery right into the card slot of your wallet and leave it there (inconspicuously).
Step 4: Attach to Valuable of your Choice.
Keys? Purses? Wallets? Phones? Just attach the MetaWear board to anything you tend to lose.
Step 5: Get the App and Find your Stuff when it Goes Missing.
Download the MetaWear sample App from Github or create your own and voila! You find your stuff in no time using the power of Bluetooth Low Energy (granted there’s a finite range on that!)
