Toward a DIY smartwatch
The original inspiration for this is Tinkernut's project.
Considerations
- Power
- Size
Components
Screen
Old school LCD
I'm thinking of pulls from old mobile phones, esp. Nokia. Power use should be minimal. Availability (used) should be good.
New school LCD
What's available? Again power consumption should be small when backlight isn't used.
OLED
What's the power consumption?
Bluetooth
The two groups consist of “classic” BT and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
Classic
- HC-06: $TODO, TODO mA, size is a bit big.
- HC-05: $TODO, TODO mA, size is a bit big.
BLE
Controller
Plain Arduino
- TODO
Bledino
- http://bleduino.cc/, has Arduino and BLE built in
- 1.7“ x 0.8”
Other
- Use a Nordic BLE module for everything?
Battery
