Next BLE iteration: Custom BLE service, notifications & more 🥳
A few days ago I got the #OpenSmartwatch and I've been loving it! Only thing this needs is the ability to talk with a companion app for notification syncing and it would be perfect!

RT @pauls_3d_things: #opensmartwatch OS release v0.12.0 ! Now with an Emulator (compile and run your apps on desktop!)
Open-SmartWatch - an open source ESP32 powered watch for a bit over $24 that you can assemble and repair yourself
The Open-SmartWatch from [pauls_3d_things]. This ESP32 powered watch packs a gorgeous circular 240×240 TFT display, DS323M RTC, BMA400 three-axis accelerometer, and a 450 mAh battery inside of a 3D printed enclosure that can be produced on your average desktop machine. WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity are a given with the ESP32, but there’s also an enhanced edition of the PCB that adds another 4 MB of RAM, a micro SD slot, and a Quectel L96 GPS receiver.
As it’s an open source project you’re free to download the PCB design files and get the board produced on your own, but [pauls_3d_things] has actually partnered with LILYGO to do a run of the Open-SmartWatch electronics which you can pick up on AliExpress right now for just $24 USD. You’ll still need to order the battery separately and 3D print your own case, but it still seems like a pretty sweet deal. https://squeet.me/objects/962c3e10d46db3911f62063d5adfafef47583e5c
