I'm gonna be building Anachron! A pocket watch that connects to your phone and also runs a tamagotchi :D

The whole reason is I'm tired of digging my phone out just to change the song, but like what if it could do more yk

I'll be posting my build journey here!

Sketch of the idea attached, with it at least being able to do:
- BLE sync w/ phone
- Music control via crown
- Notifications
- 1.46" round touchscreen, multiple faces
- IMU for wake
- 15 hr charge

[KavEn06 @kav_n6]

@brycerambach i'm building a digital pocket watch. partly cus i was tired of digging my phone out just to skip a song, partly cus i wanted apple watch stuff without giving up my normal watches.

[KavEn06 @kav_n6]

[KavEn06 @kav_n6]

this seems like way more applicable (lowk the mcps and plugins for kicad even are getting better icel) :P

GPT-6、回路CADはそんな強くなかったけど、3D CADはめっちゃすごいな。
データシート渡して、FreeCADで部品のモデリングをさせると非常に便利
