This uses the optical communication port on any MID approved meter which is the European standard. I’m just gonna say this before certain comments arise you cannot reset the meter to 0 without specialist authorisation and software from the manufacturer which requires the use of computer and special test rates, so it would not be possible to do this.

Thanks for all your efforts and the video. I cannot, however, for the life of me get the screen to lift off of my bangle.js2, even after carefully double-checking my 3D-printer's heat bed with an infrared thermometer. The temperature should be just right, the bangle is heated throughout and yet my suction cub doesn't entice any movement in the screen, even with enough violence that would risk tearing the ribbon connector. Is there some kind of trick to it? I've been at it for hours and I'm afraid of slow-cooking the device a bit too much.

Makita 18v 3A is inside how many battery 5A is how many battery have

It’s only when you come to driving high demand power hungry tools you realize why the OEM is needed and worth the extra cost 💵. However if you’re only drilling a 5mm hole now and again and screwing and unscrewing half a dozen small screws I get the appeal of a good knock off battery. Having said that I still wouldn’t buy knock offs 🪫 as I’m always scared of electrical fires and shorts especially if I left the battery on charge overnight because I forgot to take it off. It’s a lot of power being stored in a small box 🔥.

Hello, Thank you for the video. However, I encountered an issue with acetone during my work 😢. Would it be possible to purchase a new support for the electronic board of the Bangles 2 watch?

I thought I saw a video addressing text and call notifications but now I can't find it. What are the options when a call or text comes in. Thanks.

Not sure if you can help but does the MDBT42Q have captive capability? Or is that just a Puck.js feature?

test

How many cell batteries in there 4 or 8?

I'm pretty new to wiring... what do you recommend for making temporary connections with this board (I'm just experimenting not following the project)... breadboard wires seem to jiggle loose even if I bend them... should I just solder? Or am I missing something obvious? Cheers.

upgrading my banglejs 1 today!

Amo su software gracias por todo

I see the difference. The originals are better, but they are still overpriced.

i have found myself watching a lot of your videos lately, as an owner of a BangleJS 2. you (and anyone else working there at Espruino) make pretty fun stuff, both video-wise and hardware-wise!

Very nice to have it as a standard library now :) I need to try it with Shelly and ESPHome devices because my HA is out of BLE range most of the time.

Quite interesting.

Hey Espruino, Do you guys ever plan on making a Bangle JS 3? With upgraded hardware such as a Blood oxygen level sensor, more ram / storage, and a better chip, and even maybe a better more colorful display. I currently love my Bangle JS 2, just wondering if theirs ever a plan on releasing a newer ish version that would sorta compete with modern smart watches.

I only get undefined back

Really liking the looks of this watch. Tempted to get one.

I bought the Bangl.js 2two weeks ago. After the first charge happened without problems, installed a couple of apps I had problems for about ten days. Although it still had more than 25% charge last night, I had to charge it this morning. Put the phone on charge (the correct way) even for hours, it can only be turned on when the charging cable is plugged in. When disconnected although the battery has been charged, it will no more let itself be turned on by pressing the center button. Can you help me or give me a suggestion?

Hello Gordon. Thank you for the Bangle and thank you for the videos. I intend to use my bangle.js 2 as an alarm wrist clock. I tried it with that entend but the vibration motor proved to be too weak, compared to that, for instance of the Fitbit Charge 4 for instance. Do you know if there would be a way for me to upgrade the vibration motor with something stronger ?. Thx.

Hello. Thanks for this nice video. I have a question about usability. This watch is defined as hackable, does it mean that I can run it right at the moment I unpack it from the box or do I have to create all the SW by myself? Other question : how good is the GPS? Regards

would love a diy board that had the software pre-programmed

When re-assembling; which glue would work to get the display tight in place?

I recently got a purported Makita DHR242 rotary hammer drill with 2 18V 6Ah batteries and a DC18RC rapid charger. I also have a completely genuine DMP180 air pump with 2 18V 3Ah batteries and a real rapid charger. Just the 2 real 18V 3Ah batteries and rapid charger cost almost the same price as the DHR242 rotary hammer kit. Just looking at all the labelling, etc, it is hard to tell that hammer drill kit is not genuine. It works fine but there are some interesting differences. The purported DC18RC rapid charger has no fan and thus is very lightweight and takes close to 3 hours to charge the purported 6Ah battery. The non-genuine 6Ah batteries will not actually fit into the genuine rapid charger. If you press the release button, you will see a red mark on a genuine battery and these 6Ah batteries don't have it. The non-genuine 6Ah batteries won't actually slide into my DMP180. The genuine 3Ah batteries will slide into the purported DHR242 and actually run it just fine, but they don't slide into the non-genuine rapid charger. If you measure the voltage across the slide terminals for the 6Ah batteries it is sitting around 20V. When the 3Ah batteries are not slid into a device, there is no voltage you can read across the slide terminals.

Hi, is there a way to add infrared receiver to the board ?

This is making me want to buy a bangle.js 2. I have a bangle.js 1 right now! Amazing work

Incredible looking project. Can fitness tracking integrate with any apps? And do you have any advice on porting apple fitness data over?

That's a nice looking screen. Is the backlight turned off completely when it sleeps, does it use electricity when it sleeps and is not updating? I wonder how easy it is to customize the operating system itself.

Good~

I like my bangle 2 a lot!

Just had mine delivered, what a lovely package and high quality product, excellent video.

where are the axis sensors and magentic sensors and barometric pressure sensor / altimeter sensor / temperature sensor?

Would using the Bangle.JS 2 with the web IDE over a Wired Connection allow me to get over the limitation of not being able to have the Bangle.JS 2 paired with an iPhone simultaneously?... If not, is there another work around?

Could I extend the amount of time it takes to do a reset (extend it past 10 seconds)?

Great Smartwatch

I own one now. And I must say thank you for this great device. I have a PineTime and every thing I didn't like about that device is so much better on the Bangle js 2. The battery, the always on screen, the polished web interface, many aps, the settings, etc. Really such a great product!

My bulb seems to be different to yours. The bit that controls it is write only and you have to write a byte array of CC-23-33 for on and CC-24-33 for off, with the UUID being FFD5 and FFD9. Not sure where to go from there, but rtrying to figure it out.

Need one asap🎉. Was looking for an Open health tracker watch. Awesome product

this is such a cool project, but i had not heard about it until today. i will be getting one of these soon. i really like how much attention had been paid towards UX, lack of that is generally the downfall of these projects.

Thank you, very easy to follow walkthrough! is it possible to replace the battery?

🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭

Thanks for the guide

Thanks for the guide.

Excellent video/demo

MDBT42Q, Is this still the best mcu to use now in 2023 for espruino ?

Thanks for the video Gordon, loads of useful insights. Explains why my 3d printer heated bed wasn't unsticking the screen glue... I was too nervous about getting the temperature up high enough (chickened out in the 80 C's as I'd never had the print bed that hot before and I didn't have a secondary means of knowing what temperature the bed was to ensure it didn't go over 100C and damage the screen).

Did you notice on the Makita one the third exposed metal sliding contact is actually two separate pairs electrically isolated? I'm trying to find out why because I have a BL1830 which is rejected by the drill. Charge indicator on the power tool says it is full (it is 20V across the outer slide connectors) and it works if I unlatch and slide it out 1 mm, but press it fully home and the tool work light operates when I pull the trigger but the motor does not run. The near part of the third contact is at the same voltage as the +ve terminal but the far part is at the voltage of the -ve terminal on this rejected battery - on a good one it is also at the +ve terminal voltage. What function does it serve? Curiously, the charger does not connect to the +ve terminal, instead it joins the two parts of the third contact together and uses them for charging.

Drill go “burr, burr”
