My own operating system for Watchy

WatchyOS

A simple operating system for Watchy.

To get started, please install the ESP IDF (version 4.2)

Goals:

• The basics
  • Show the time (updated every minute)
  • Show the date
  • Step counter
  • Display battery (if low)
• Connection to phone:
  • Show notifications
  • Dismiss notifications on phone
  • Music control
• Sleep mode to save battery
• Other
  • Timer/Stopwatch
• Stretch goals
  • Shortcut Tapping

Getting started

After installing ESP-IDF v4.2, connect your Watchy, go into the src folder of this repo and run make -p [PORT] flash monitor. Where [PORT] is the port of your Watchy. A description of how to find this port is in the ESP-IDF Guide: Connect your device.

Your Watchy should now boot WatchyOS.

If you want to have a connection to your phone, install Android studio and flash the WatchyOSCompanionApp onto your phone. This is highly experimental at the moment.

Notes

WatchyOS is currently using a custom fork of ESP-Arduino while we wait for ESP-Arduino to support ESP-IDF v4.2 officially

This means the outdated make menuconfig and make flash monitor must be used instead of the newer idf.py
