OK, first attempt to get somewhere... Set up every service that the ArduinoBLE library supports, start them all up and see if anything happens when gadgetbridge tries to send a notification... Nope, nothing... It doesn't use those then. A bit more digging, gadgetbridge apparently uses UART, so standard-ish serial streams, something that BLE was not intended to use, but.... there's a libary https://github.com/Uberi/Arduino-HardwareBLESerial Lets try those examples and see if anything happens. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

AHA!! Can't seem to send messages back though, keep getting an error about malformed messages, but it doesn't 'keep' the error nor does it fit in the message box that pops up, so I can't tell what's wrong to fix it. However, successful attemp to set the time on the watch by gadgetbridge. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Turns out it needs a full stop at the end... There doesn't seem to be much I'd need to tell the app, but it looks like dismissing notifications or calls will be possible. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

hmmmm, the low power mode stops the BLE from working.... that's not helpful.

Hmm, I seem to have killed the BLE chip  that's the problem with all these wires and things, once accidental short and the important part fries. |edit| false alarm. For some reason multiple arduino bluetooth sketches just didn't work. Now they all do again. go figure. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

*phew* Might be a good idea to take photos after every tweak, so you can backtrack if need be. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Added the arduino code to my github, I'll do that now and then. https://github.com/spinalcode/spnlwtch Having a lot of trouble adding power saving features. There are 2 versions of the board manager for arduino, one works for the BLE serial code and not anything timer based, including under clocking. The other apparently works for timers but not the BLE serial code As it stands, reading the amps being pulled from the battery, it might ba capable fo around 2 days on a single charge. I was hoping for a lot longer since the sales page for the board says it can run on aboue 3 milliamps and I'm using about twice that. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Based on this thread, I need to mosey over to adafruit. I was able to bring my Meggy Jr RGB I bought and built from them, but sadly had to leave behind my Fuzebox I bought and built from them. Based on Spinal's latest toy, he has my interest up.

Instead of using a new timer to watch for changes in milliseconds and adding to the current time that way, I've switched to calculating the current time from millis(); As gadgetbridge give the current time at setup (unix timestamp) and I need to convert from that anyway, why not just bring millis() into it and recalculate when rendering the screen... very mino saving on power, might get an extra few minutes out of the battery. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Realtime battery test, little over a day. Not great for a watch... -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

I dunno, sounds better than a lot of modern day watches I've heard about lately, and you've got off-the-shelf components, not like a super-optimised battery, or anything. I'd say a day's pretty good. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Additional thought. What happens if you hook it up to the phone via USB? Will it charge?! And how long would it take to recharge that way?! And thinking ahead, could you maybe integrate a small connector into the strap somehow?!!

The charge reate is 100mA, the battery I'm using is 170mAh so should be under 2 hours to charge fully.

Aw, I was hoping it could do a super-fast charge if sat beside the phone for a few minutes. Aw well, never mind.

Spinal will come up with something like the self-winding watches. Little generator to charge it as you wear it and your arm is moving.
