Puck.js Wrist Strap

Hello,

considering using Puck.js as a bluetooth controller for a mobile app project, has anyone made or know of a wrist strap that can accommodate the Puck?

Thanks!

Yes, there is one!

By @MaBe , there's https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2095572 - I have one here and it works really well.

Brilliant thanks!

I've had a look on the site but can't find any info, is the device always on? we are looking at using it to start and stop audio recording in a mobile app, there will be a need to turn it on and off multiple times in a time window that could be anywhere between 1-4 hours, is that doable do you think? what's the battery life like?

Yes I understand how to download a file from thingiverse I asked is the device always on, does it go to sleep when not in use to preserve battery life?

Very helpful info Robin thanks!

But yes, it's always running - but it enters sleep modes automatically when it can. As a result if you're just sitting there waiting for a button press it's extremely efficient.

You probably want it to stay connected, but as long as you're using an up to date firmware on it, it'll enter a low power mode when it's connected but not transmitting anything, so the battery life will still be pretty decent (hopefully 1 yr).

Also... this code might already do exactly what you want http://www.espruino.com/BLE+Music+Control

Thanks Gordon, I ordered a Puck last night and will have a play, yes I watched that demo and it looks to be along the lines of what I'd need. I plan to use Nativescript to code the app so I'm hoping I can retrieve the Puck data via it's bluetooth plug-in: -https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-bluetooth
