Result

Additional Information

Function Overview

• USB Interface

After plugging with the USB cable, it will automatically charge the battery (red light), automatically stop when charged done (green light), while lit LED dot matrix. At this time, you can also use Mind+ or Arduino IDE to program,for making your own personality patterns!

• Touch Button

Touch once to change the speed of the heartbeat. Press and hold to flash quickly from small to large.

• Power Switch

Dial it up, the power is turned on. Dial it down, the power is turned off.

• Vibration Sensor

When shake the electronic heart intensely, the built-in vibration sensor will response and change the pattern from buttom to top.
