Who hasn’t ever left his phone on a spot and realised they had lost it too late? Anonimoconhache present you the solution: Don’t Lose Me.
With this amazing gadget you will never lose your phone again. Whenever you are too far away from your phone Don’t Lose Me will start to blink and whistle, as well as your phone will reproduce an annoying sound (or a song it is up to you).
Supplies:
- Materials:
- 1 Arduino Nano
- 1 HC05 Bt module
- 1 Buzzer
- 1 5mm diameter led
- 1 push button
- 1 push button NC
- 0,5 mm diameter springs
- Copper thread
- 2 3mm diameter screws
- PLA
- Tools:
- 3d Printer
- Soldering iron
- Computer
- Glue
Step 1: Idea
Between your phone and the Don’t Lose Me a Bluetooth connection is established. Your phone is constantly sending data to the Arduino. When the connection is broken it can mean 2 things: whether you are too far away from your phone or that you have forced a breakdown on the connection (pushing the red button). In both cases the result is the same. Arduino does not receive data and start to blink and whistle, your phone detects that the data that it is is sending has no receiver so it will reproduce an alarm.

Step 2: DEP to Version 1
I have been working in these project up to 4 months and I wanted to show you how it started so you can appreciate the development of the project.
The problem with the version 1 was that apart from being too difficult to assemble and messy, the battery holder didn’t work sometimes.
Step 3: Configurating the HC05
Let’s get started making a Don’t Lose Me.
The first thing you will have to do is configure the HC-05. Upload this code to the Arduino Nano with the bt module connected (look at the image of the circuit below). It is important that meanwhile you are uploading the code, you push the button on the module.
Then enter the serial monitor and configure the HC05:
- AT+NAME= Don’t Lose Me //Give your module a name
- AT+ROLE= 0 //1=master/0=slave
- AT+PSWD= 1234 //password to your module
Step 4: Code of Arduino
Step 5: Android Studio App
I developed an app with android studio, I am leaving it below. I am also leaving all the code I used you in case you want to make any change.
In case you want to program it by yourself, remember you must have a background image.
If you download the app, you won’t have to do nothing like this
