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 perfectly fits 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 :

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 <-- SELECTED i2c addr : 0x1E 7 bit address, better soldering footprint
    • QMC5883L
    • LSM303DLHC
    • BMM150 <-- Package with balls, hard to handle
  • 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.

Power source :

  • 1 cell lipo battery.
  • A charge controller.

Screen + touch element :

  • Screen with touch : STP240240_R130A1(T), SPI interface 240*240 px, ST7789V driver. Tested the screen, failed to make it work, it uses a 3 line serial interface in 9 bit mode which is a pain when using DMA...
    Still looking for a compatible round LCD screen with Touch Panel.
    Requirements : 4 line serial interface in 8 bit mode with a dedicated Data/Command pin.
  • Touch element i2c addr : 0x46, IT7257 I2C touch driver. (May change if I find an other screen)

      • ILI9341 in 4-line serial mode (8 bits) with D/C pin
      • ST7789 in 4-line serial mode (8 bits) with D/C pin
  • Two screens designed and working with LVGL :
    • 1 watch face based on a casio watch
    • 1 menu list with icons.

To do :

  • Write I2C drivers for the BMA456, BMP280 and HMC5883L.
  • Finish to design the settings page.
  • Test the charge circuit.
  • Draw the schematic.
  • Design the PCB.
