Inspiration

We are technology students and therefore we always want to have the latest gadgets but at the same time we are poor...

How it works

It is a fully functional smartwatch powered by a teensy 3.1 that can act as a standalone watch or, if connected to an android phone, it will also mirror the notifications and give you the ability to control your music. It even has a built in speaker and automatic lighting.

Challenges I ran into

The chinese clone of the Nokia 3310 screen did not have the adequate libraries or documentation. Also arduino's serial communications is not made for long strings

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

It works!!!!

What I learned

code that is ugly but works is twice better than the most beautifully engineered code that does not work

What's next for Clu Watch

Give it a 3D printed case and a suitable battery to be a true smartwatch
