Puce: electronics and microcontroller
Build prototypes for my Puce communication project. The goal for this project was to produce a little vibrating device to put under your watch. This unit responds to incoming mobile phone call. Two versions were built: one big (1:10 scale) to explain the concept, and a 1:1 scale model to best depict the actual objet.

Circuitry
Development of the circuitry with basic components.
Proof of concept
Proof of concept, the blinking module (ordered on eBay) responds to incoming mobile phone calls.
Building the vibrating device
The various components need to fit in a very small package.
Small version vs demonstration board version
Both are working identically.
Glowing keypad
Glowing keypad: phone fitted with a LED. Rotating the keypad changes the color (green/orange)
