Special thanks to www.PCBWay.com for sponsoring this video. PCBWay provides fast and easy PCB prototyping, 3D printing, and CNC services. I made my own smartwatch from basic components, and created everything except the board and screen, including the case, additional hardware, and the operating system.
The main board used was the Lilygo T-Display S3 AMOLED (www.lilygo.cc/products/t-disp..., and features an ESP32-S3 SoC that provides built in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, I2C, and USB-C interface.
The case was designed in Google Sketchup, and the operating system (mPOS) and applications were written in Python using the Micropython firmware, and the main AMOLED board driver was provided by nspsck on GitHub.
Driver link: github.com/nspsck/RM67162_Mic...
3D model of case, but you'll never use it since it's for this specific board: drive.google.com/file/d/1o5Bm...

Correction: The ESP32-S3 contains a dual-core Xtensa LX7 CPU (built on the Xtensa ISA), not a RISCV CPU. Other ESP32 models such as the ESP32-C and ESP32-H series do use RISCV CPUs.

@SpaghettiEnterprises 21 день назад

The upper and lower bounds for your battery voltage should be available on the datasheet. You could just assume the discharge curve is linear, and show the percentage between these bounds in your indicator. A next level take would be to characterize your battery by monitoring the voltage while it discharges. This way you could use the min / max battery voltages as your endpoints, and map the battery voltage to a set of percentages in respect to the total battery life. You could probably do this entirely in the software you already have, or take the battery out and simulate the typical current draw of your device using a resistor (just series/parallell them to get enough wattage capacity).

@osensiv3sounds978 17 дней назад

Actually for 1s lipos (or liions) the voltage curve compared to % is already known and the difference between different batteries (of the same type) is so low, that you can ignore it. You can look it up on google quite easily and it worked for me just fine. I've also seen some people trying to simplify it into an equation. I tried that, and the results were close enough to be usable. So maybe a software update ? :)

@tomcombe4813 6 дней назад

Just to let you know, that problem you had with the rotary encoder is called 'debounce' and you can solve it is software. You basically just need to give the pin some time to settle on a value before registering it as a button press/rotate.

(well someone already wrote a better comment talking about this before) Well if you know there voltage when it is connected to a external powersource, run with full battery and when the required voltage is not enough to run the device. You can display an icon for charging, fully charged and nearly empty. Even percentages if you take the delta form those. It could be inaccurate but easier to read But great vid, love it

@wardrich 7 дней назад

19:55 hey wait, this is what I came her for! lol This looks like a really awesome project! Even though you don't have the rotary encoder doing much right now, it gives you plenty of wiggle room for OS updates down the road. It could be useful for your screen brightness and controlling the direction of the ball in your pool game. Should you be crazy enough to find a place for a small speaker, it could be good for controlling volume, too. If you wanted to get really crafty, you could even override the app behavior for it and use a press+rotate to always control something regardless of what app you're in.

@zaprodk 10 часов назад

The correct way to debounce a switch (the encoder) is in software. Not hardware. The capacitors are not needed, and is a sign that the person doing the software didn't do a good job. You can make that encoder work wonderfully just by debouncing it in software!

About the earth rotation of your clock: Did you considered save 360 Images of the earth pre-rendered, so instead the uC processing the rotation you just use the corresponding image. I know it would take some storage space, but since you use an SD card it might not be a problem.
