I don’t know what is it about watches, but I find them very cool. But I’ve never seen a watch with the exact feature set I want. Obviously it should display the time in binary, it should allow me to do arbitrary computation on by wrist, display important prescient information about my life, and… I don’t know… allow me to communcate with aliens or something.<\/p>\n
Anyway I was inspired by the msp430 LCD interfacing code posted on hackaday ( here<\/a> ). And decided to try and put together a watch. It’s based aroudn the eZ430 development board, uses a CR2032 as it’s power source and has a couple of button switches and a 32.768kHz to allow it to keep accurate time. The display is from a Nokia phone. It’s used in the “6010 3595 3560 3510i 3530” at least that’s what ebay seller told me.<\/p>\n The code is written in C, and is included in a tarball at the end of the post.
