# BLE Vibration Bracelet

## Overview

https://youtu.be/RcDXAHy06HU

## Mindfulness & BLE Notifications

Build yourself a bracelet that buzzes when you’ve received notifications from an iOS device using Adafruit Feather Sense and DRV2605L breakout. Get subtle haptic feedback and a NeoPixel LED to indicate the app. It's also great for reminding yourself to get up and walk away from your desk or as a way to have a new awareness of how the perception of passing time varies based on what you're doing.
