Currently, I would say the hardware is complete. I'd like to perhaps get the watch printed in a clear resin so people can see the inner workings of it. Black is still the sexiest.
My files are a mess. My code is a mess as well. There are some FreeRTOS things in the code right now, but I've commented out the main thread creation portion. FreeRTOS isn't needed in this sort of thing? Well, it's still a good learning experience for me.
I've removed the second hand to reduce power consumption. Measuring it shows it's around 0.31 mA most of the time. That would give me around a month(?) of battery life. I still need to read through and try to understand the low-power modes of the STM32L0. I think that's too big considering I'm running at 2MHz in (supposedly) low-power run mode and being in low-power sleep mode the rest of the time. Maybe I still need to reduce clock speed during sleep mode?
Would love to implement a digital clock face, but still need to implement fonts (ongoing). I specifically chose the STM32L051 version so I have more flash memory available.
