By way of explanation: I have shipped four variants of over the years, and this is me testing the release candidate firmware on all of them. Because you can’t test a wearable on a workbench alone. You have to wear it.

Got a hackable replacement main board for a hardware classic.

Going to have some fun playing with the custom firmware toolchain. It’s a welcome break from all the cloudy remote automated pipeline stuff I have to work with for a living.

#SensorWatch

Casino F-91w digital watch from 1989 on my left wrist. It’s a digital watch with an LCD display in a black plastic case with three metal function buttons and a black plastic strap.

The watch face has the words 

CASIO F-91W
ALARM CHRONOGRAPH
Water WR RESIST
Mon the outside. The buttons are labelled ( clockwise from lower right) 
Alarm on/Off 24hr
Mode
Light 

The display is showing a decidedly non standard text:
TE
30 - 1° C

It's so impressive the accuracy you can achieve with a #sensorwatch with a little time finetuning the rate. At this point i have so little drift over 60 days that i can't even adjust it because i'm closer to the current time than the smallest adjustment, 25ms

I'm back to the blue switches and #banglejs2, updated from 2v19 to 2v24, there are a bunch of good performance and stability improvements and it's still the best hackable smartwatch for me. I'll find some time later this week to cook a new firmware for my #sensorwatch and fix the wristband, or maybe sew a new nylon espruino.com/ChangeLog

Just ordered a yellow Casio watch for the Sensor Watch Pro I'm waiting for.

When I'll replace the original casio electronics with the #SensorWatch I'll have the original electronics left over. Wonder whether there's a model to print a watch case for the electronics somewhere out there...

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.

$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 […]

Wird irgendwie zur Tradition, dass ich auf 'm #podstockde mir eine neue #Sensorwatch bastle und Firmware installiere. Und was vergesse ich jedes Mal? Die Dokumentation.

Übrigens vielen Dank @WestkirchenAndi für die Hilfe beim Löten ;)

Im Vordergrund sieht nach das "grüne" Board der Sensorwatch, das mit einem USB-Kabel verbunden ist, kurz bevor die neue Firmware installiert wird.

Eine Alternative zur Apple bzw Smartwatch: die #Sensorwatch von @joeycastillo@mastodon.social
Das Herz der Sensorwatch: zu sehen ist das grüne Board an einem Micro-USB-Kabel. Im Hintergrund liegt das Gehäuse einer Casio A163.

@wuebbsy mit #Withings hab ich technische Probleme und keinen guten Supprt gehabt (nach einem Jahr Elektroschrott). Meine Watch Serie 6 reicht mir aus und nebenher bastle ich noch an einer #Sensorwatch (Casio A163 mit ARM M0+ Board).

Und pünktlich zum #AppleEvent hat #Casio mit der ABL-100 eine interessante Retro-Uhr mit Schrittzähler usw. auf den Markt gebacht (leider ohne Solar, sonst wäre die Uhr perfekt).
