I got the part I needed to fix my Watchy! Now I need to think about what I want to make to run on it. #opensource #opensourcehardware #sqfmi #Watchy #epaper

Now updated to be running the VERY BEST watch face.

Watch face from https://github.com/b-bayport/watchy_captnwednesday but if like me you've got one of the recent Watchys you'll need to make a few minor changes to settings.h. I'll push my fork/changes to a repo at some point soonish.

I couldn't wait until the weekend. It took probably no more than 30 minutes to actually assemble the watch. No soldering, just clicking a few bits into place.

I'll play with customisation and stuff later.

Putting this together should keep me happily amused this weekend. #SQFMI #Watchy
Why do all the stock photos of the #SQFMI #Beepy have the keyboard blurred out? Are they using some keyboard they’re not allowed to? Did they change keyboards since they took the stock photos?

Hm, I'd really like a Watchy by SQFMI, but it appears to be sold out. I thought about ordering PCBs and soldering my own, but I noticed some of the components are obsolete or on backorder.

Should I update the PCB and have my own made, or try pre-ordering on Crowd Supply and wait? 🤔​

Asking the important questions today.

Who’s happy to have a #SQFMI #Beeper? A linux powered device that brings back the Blackberry feelings? I am :)
That's one way to use surplus #Blackberry keyboards! Looking forward to getting this set up. #Beeper #SQFMI
