hi all,
i'm looking at the wearable circuit boards (gemma & lilypad) and i've noticed that chips/modules have limited space on them. so my question is, would a bluetooth module fit in place, if there are already GPS, motion and battery placed on the board? if not, then what would you suggest as a solution?
all replies would be much appreciated, thank you!
Even if it doesn't fit on the board, you could put it next to the processor board.
thank you for your response.
but wouldn't that make the product bulky? sorry i forgot to mention that i aim to make it minimal since it's a wearable aimed to be purchased by all types of the younger generation, not just tech enthusiasts 
You can get ridiculously small Bluetooth-modules, look at the HJ-580LA - To use this though you would need to program it using the SDK from the manufacturer. Without programming, the module is useless.

It doesn't need to be bulky. In addition to the gemma, I would also look at the trinket and the beetle - these are all about the same size. Then look at some of the smaller bluetooth le boards. You could put them back to back, and it would make a small package, for sure.
okay thanks so much for your advice guys!! much much much appreciated
Or get it working, then design your own custom PCB in whatever form factor you with you own unique packaging, connector types for recharging, etc.
