[CentralOH] Watchy: An Open Hardware Smart Watch

[Andrew Kubera]

Those of you who have been going to the dojos for the past few months 
have probably seen me messing
around with my ESP32 board as I learn MicroPython 
<http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp32/quickref.html>; I have to 
say, it's been pretty fun.

I recently came across the project Watchy, on the 
eletronics-crowdfunding site crowdsupply 
(https://www.crowdsupply.com/sqfmi/watchy 
<https://www.crowdsupply.com/sqfmi/watchy>).
It pairs an e-ink display, ESP32, and battery in a wristwatch form for 
about $50.
It's projected to be released at the start of the summer (so that 
probably means next winter?).

They're keeping all designs and source code open 
(https://github.com/sqfmi/Watchy <https://github.com/sqfmi/Watchy>).
Software written in C++ not MicroPython, but I'm sure with enough 
creativity, this is correctable ;-).

I'm in for one, and thought some of you might also be interested in a 
hackable smart-watch where you can
control your data (and every other feature). It'd be fun to hack on 
these together at meetings.
