Well, this might just be a Hackaday first. Certainly not the circuit sculpture part, nor the wearable aspect, but the glorious combination of the two. Behold [CMoz]’s Fashionably on Task: a Smart Bracelet for Forgetfulness. The name may be long, but the intent is concise: to showcase your top five must-dos for the day.
This lovely bracelet uses a tri-color e-paper display, and it’s WiFi enabled in order to receive input from the corresponding phone app. Although the cute pink ESP32-C3 is programmed in PlatformIO, the code will work with the Arduino IDE as well.
To get down to business, just power on the bracelet. If it can’t connect to the network you’ve hard-coded, it will broadcast it’s own access point. Connect with your phone to the custom web page, and Bob’s your uncle. From here, you can enter the tasks, change the colors around, mark tasks as complete, and remove tasks or reset recurring reminders.
The nifty part is that e-paper screen, since it will of course continue to display your list once powered down. Here’s the full code. Then you can deep-dive into the graph theory of circuit sculptures.
I love the brass work, doing that with a soldering iron is not easy. I really admire the idea it’s a minimal but classy pip boy. Prenuclear apocalypse. Definitely inspired.
It’s definitely cool!
Looked over all the pics on Instructables, couldn’t see where the battery would go (assume just a pouch-type).
Don’t think it’s possible with the board listed, maybe with a slightly bigger ESP board, add buttons to interact with the list (check stuff off, scroll through the other pages of the list) or change screen modes (show notifications (on like a 1 minute update schedule), show the time and date on the same update, show weather on the same update).
It’s a cool idea!
This is super cool. Huh.
does anyone know how deep i can dive with this on my wrist in salt water?
Minus 50m
As deep as you want to and feel a healthy resurface is possible. Or was there a different question you wanted to ask? ;-)
A better option…it flashes to the world what you are really thinking as you speak.
In politicians…it is in the form of a manacle…released only at the end of term.
