#sensorwatchpro — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #sensorwatchpro, aggregated by home.social.

  1. After 41 minutes and 57 seconds of uptime, the firmware froze.

    While I was unscrewing the case to press the reset button on the board, the display started fading.

    That's not too surprising: the original lithium battery was outputting 2.7V (as opposed to 3V).

    I'll go buy a new CR2016. The expected battery life for the #SensorWatchPro is 1 year, while the original #Casio board typically lasts 7 years.

  2. Next, I installed the #SensorWatchPro board into the holder and... CrESnt??

    Ok, this must be the new moon phase function. I start exploring the new firmware without reading the docs, but it's clear that it's a lot more complex than the original thing. After several minutes, I still haven't figured out how to set the date and time 😅

  3. With the screwdriver that came with my eye glasses repair kit, I disassembled the watch, revealing the original #casio circuit board, one of the seven wonders of 1980's consumer electronics.

  4. My Sensor Watch Pro just arrived!

    Time to take apart my Casio wristwatch to install it! ...as soon as I can find my tiny philips screwdriver.

  5. #sensorwatchpro built and installed with the custom led screen. Did not go perfectly, but that's probably on me more than anything. It's now working. Running it stock for a few days, will then make a custom firmware build.

  6. Other people with #crowdsupply #sensorwatch #sensorwatchpro orders - do you have dispatch notifications? I'm seeing some people with arrivals, I have the traditional nada from #crowdsupply so far.

    Just getting an idea of if anything is remotely in transit, or to go looking for a package hidden in the garden again.

  7. It runs on an open source custom firmware called Second Movement and has a custom 92 segment LCD that improves the watch's display/readability. I availed of the accelerometer sensor/add-on board that opens a lot of possibilities.

    Oh, and it also has a full RGB LED.

  8. It's here! Made it to the #Philippines in one piece.

    The #SensorWatchPro is a drop-in PCB for the iconic F-91W or A158W created by @joeycastillo (Oddly Specific Objects) with lots of cool features!

    It's hackable, programmable, and built to be modular. Just my kind of tech.

    Now I just need to decide which of my F-91Ws is going to get the upgrade. 😂

  9. Oh look what arrived here in Spain today:

    @joeycastillo's Sensor Watch Pro via @crowdsupply 😍

    I was a little bit worried doing the watch surgery, as I am rather clumsy, but it took me less than 30 minutes until the watch was back together, and I didn't even need to watch the instruction video!

    Well done for such a neat and well-documented package, Joey!

  10. Es gibt ein Update von @joeycastillo für die #SensorWatch. Das Board der #SensorWatchPro bekommt eine RGB-LED, integrierte Temperatur- und Infrarotlichtsensoren. Insbesondere auf das neue LCD-Display, das auch abwärtskompatibel sein soll, bin ich gespannt.

  11. $75 Sensor Watch Pro crams even more hardware into a classic Casio wristwatch

    A few years ago Joey Castillo introduced Sensor Watch, a $35 board designed to fit inside the shell of a Casio F-91W wristwatch, giving a classic watch some modern hardware including an ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller, a temperature sensor, and inputs for additional sensors.

    Now Castillo is back with Sensor Watch Pro, a $75 version that adds a whole bunch of additional features without taking […]
