TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Older Tinyduino Smartwatch
« on: June 09, 2018, 09:35:14 AM »
Hello all. I recently purchased Tinyscreen Smartwatch Kit. After a little research, I'm pretty sure that this was an older kit. It features:
TinyDuino Processor (Lithium Support)
TinyScreen OLED TinyShield
Lithium Ion Polymer Battery 3.7 V, 150mAh
TinyShield USB
TinyShield NRF 8001 BLE
SmartWatch Kit
I am fairly new to Arduino, but I followed the instructions and built a working watch. The result left me with two questions.
First, the display will turn off randomly, and the Tinyduino will need to be reset to turn it back on. I initially thought this was because the battery was dying, but the display always turns back on and reads that the battery has at least some power. There is also nothing in the programming (I am running the default code with slight modifications) which should cause it to time out. Why is it turning off, and is there any way to fix this?
Secondly, the default code uses the ANCS library to get notifications from the connected device. Does anyone know if there is a way to use the ANCS library to send the time as well? Resetting the time and date after every reboot is quite annoying. If this is not possible with ANCS, can someone recommend another library that would be able to do?
Please keep in mind that I am relatively new to Arduino. Thank you for your time and your assistance.
