Bluetooth Comm Badge

thingiverse

The Bluetooth badge idea revolves around allowing users to communicate without constantly pulling out their phones or getting up from the sofa. It works by pairing with a phone and using voice commands for calls, with an instant voice-dial/answer call button and a microphone for improved call quality. However, it lacks a speaker and relies on the paired phone to switch to speakerphone during calls. The badge's design utilizes electronics from a BlueAction BAE-815 headset, with the speaker discarded due to low volume and limited space. The push-button on the BAE needs replacement as it is substandard. The badge also encounters an issue where cellphones tend to send call audio to the badge's nonexistent speaker. A solution for this is still being researched, and updates will be posted if found. This Bluetooth communicator badge design is created using Tinkercad and can be edited online at the provided link.
