# W800_Smart_Watch
## Why this project :
I was interested in working on a bigger project with more challenges and which could be useful.
I am also quite unhappy with the smartwatches that are on the market (expensive, no access to the firmware, data collection and privacy issues), that's why I decided to try doing my own that I can fully customize. This is going to be a long adventure with a lot of discoveries along the way :).
I also wanted to test this W800 SOC more deeply and see what it could do and I think it is a perfect fit for the project.
So let's go !
## A Smart Watch project using the Chinese W800 SOC.
The W800 is a pretty interesting chip with impressive characteristics for its price (around 1$) :
### Core :
* 32bit XT804 CPU
* 240 Mhz frequency
### Memory :
* 2 MB on chip flash
* 288 KB RAM
### Wireless connectivity :
* Bluetooth EDR(Classic) and BLE 4.2
* WiFi 2.4Ghz 802.11 b/g/n
## Sensors :
The goal is to embed the following sensors in the watch :
* An accelerometer (for wrist tilt detection, single and double tap detection , foot step counting and more)
Possible choices :
* ADXL345
* MPU6050
* BMI160
* LSM6DS3
* BMA456 <-- **SELECTED** i2c addr : 0x18 or 0x19 7 bit address, has the wrist tilt detection feature.
* A magnetometer (possible choices):
* HMC5883L <-- After reading some comparison articles between the HMC5883L and QMC5883L and the datasheets, the later seems better in term of perfomances.
* QMC5883L <-- **SELECTED** i2c addr : 0x0D 7 bit address, better soldering footprint
* LSM303DLHC
* BMM150 <-- Package with balls, hard to solder
* An air pressure/temperature sensor (to display the altitude for example)
* BMP280 <-- **SELECTED** i2c addr : 0x76 or 0x77
## Actuators :
* A vibration motor to notify events to the user.
* ~~A piezo buzzer~~ : dropped, maybe in next version.
## Power source :
* 1 cell lipo 450 mAh battery.
* A charge/discharge controller.
## Screen + touch element :
* [Screen with touch](https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005004887834918.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.22.340a5e5bX8WCb0&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra) : GC9A01 with touch panel. It uses the required 4 line Serial Interface.
* Touch element i2c addr : 0x15, CST816D I2C touch driver.
## Programming and charging :
* The smart watch programming and charging is done through the same USB port
using a magnetic 4 pin plug.

## Achieved power consumption recap:
(Need to work on sleep current :-( )
| Mode | Current draw | Estimated battery life (450 mAh lipo) |
|--------------------------|--------------|---------------------------------------|
|Active (40Mhz clk)<br>(No BLE / No WiFi) |~52 mA | ~8 hour |
|Active (240Mhz clk)<br>(No BLE / No WiFi) |~72 mA | ~6 hour |
|Sleep |~4.5 mA |~4 days and 4 hours |
|Standby |~1.8 mA |~10 days and 15 hours |
