Page 1 of 8 Hexiwear From MikroElektonika Documentation Hexiwear is a wearable development kit for the Internet of Things era. A small and sleek, lowpower device packed with sensors to quantify yourself and the world around you. Wirelessly enabled, it can connect both to devices nearby or to cloud servers far away. Developed in collaboration with NXP Semiconductors and funded through Kickstarter, Hexiwear is chiefly aimed at developers who need a complete IoT toolkit low power yet versatile hardware, compatible smartphone and iOS apps, and cloud connectivity. Unlike most MikroElektronika products, Hexiwear is completely open source. This guide is an introductory overview of Hexiwear features. For a guide on setting up your development environment, read the guide to writing your first program. A separate guide for the Hexiwear Docking Station is also available..

A double tap on any of the buttons will wake up the device and light up the OLED display to show the home screen. Page 2 of 8 If double taps don't wake up the device, the battery is probably empty. Connect Hexiwear to a power supply through the Micro USB port on the side. Charge for a while then try again. Navigation From the home screen, a single tap on the lower right button will bring you into the menu. Use the pair of buttons to the right side of the screen to browse through the list of available items. Two dots on the right edge of the screen are visible wherever vertical scrolling is available. The two buttons below the screen are for entering and exiting folders or turning settings on and off. If you are left-handed, you can set up your Hexiwear so that the buttons on the left side of the screen are used for vertical scrolling. From the Home Screen, go to Menu >>> Settings >>> Active buttons. Reset If the Hexiwear unit becomes unresponsive, you can reset it using the button on the rear side. You will need a pin, needle, paper clip, or similar item to press reset same type of tool used for ejecting SIM cards out of cell phones .
