Hi, I'm new on this forum, I'm Edoardo and I need to do a school project. I would like to say tha I'm newbe in electronic. I need help to understand what components and how to do:
a bracialet that can starts a sinlge call to a default number (like emergency number) holding 1 button on it. If possible, would be cool adding a microphone, but is not essential.
I wonder if it is not too hard make it. I can use a 3d printer for the body, but the problem for me is understand what parts I need (like bluetooth module, microprocessor, battery...). I need to create an app on android? how can bracialet and smartphone communicate?
I hope you can give me some hints, if possible link me a list of components i need to use, I would be so glad.

Thank you so much ;)

Welcome to AAC!
Perhaps something like this could be used? Overview claims a range of 30-150 metres.
Hi Alec_t, I think that it is interesting, I'don't know how it works. It's possible to connect it via Bluetooth with an android smartphone device? How can I set up it? arduino IDE could be ok?

I only need to create a small device that can communicate someway (bluetooth, wifi) with an android device, pushing a button, sending an information (make a call, or send sms, whatsapp... everithing is ok)...

The guide that shteii01 sent me is ok, but my question is: I can use it outside?
The parts I need are 1 board (wifi/bluetooth, like BLE112), probably 1 serial adapter module to pair devices(?), 1 perf board... and how to power the device using a single coin cell lithium battery?

Sorry, but I'm confuse about a lot of things XD

To understand the BLE112, a good starting point is its datasheet. There may also be Application Notes available for it. The module is said to include a 8051 processing core with space for user apps. I'm no programmer or wifi/bluetooth expert, so can't guide you there.
This project is perhaps more complex than you realise.

Thanks for the repost Alec_t. Is this BLE programmable with some software like Arduino IDE? What about other essential components?
If you can give more informations it would be useful.
I have seen ESP32 module, is this a BLE like what you suggested?

If someone have some tips please tell me ;) thanks
