# 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 max clock
|
|
### Memory :
|
|
* 2 MB on chip flash
|
|
* 288 KB RAM, ~130 KB available to the user
|
|
### Wireless connectivity :
|
|
* Bluetooth EDR(Classic) and BLE 4.2
|
|
* WiFi 2.4Ghz 802.11 b/g/n
|
|
|
|
## Getting started :
|
|
### So, you'd like to try this project yourself ?
|
|
### Here are the steps to follow, in order to build the firmware and flash the board :
|
|
#### On Windows :
|
|
1) Start by cloning this repository.
|
|
**Put it in a path that doesn't contain any spaces** ie : "C:\Users\Bob\Desktop\projects" for example.
|
|
2) Once cloning is done, you will need to install the [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) tool/environment. This tool is needed to compile the project using **Make**.
|
|
3) Open a terminal by clicking on the **MSYS2** icon and execute the following commands to prepare the environment :
|
|
1) Update packages :
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacman -Syu
|
|
```
|
|
2) Install make :
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacman -S msys/make
|
|
```
|
|
3) Install automake :
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacman -S msys/automake
|
|
```
|
|
4) Install autoconf :
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacman -S msys/autoconf
|
|
```
|
|
5) Install gcc :
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacman -S msys/gcc
|
|
```
|
|
6) Install git :
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacman -S msys/git
|
|
```
|
|
7) Install utils needed for menuconfig :
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacman -S msys/ncurses-devel
|
|
pacman -S msys/gettext-devel
|
|
```
|
|
4) You now, need to download the toolchain required to compile and link the app [here](http://82.157.145.101/download/toolkits/winnermicro/w806/csky-elfabiv2-tools-mingw-minilibc-20210423.tar.gz) and extract it somewhere you remember on your hardrive.
|
|
5) Now, go back to the MSYS terminal window and move to the **src/W800_SDK_v1.00.10/** directory which is located in the cloned repository, using the **cd** command.
|
|
6) Then, execute the **make menuconfig** command, this should greet you with a crude configuration window.
|
|
Move to the **Toolchain Configuration -->** option using the arrows and hit enter.
|
|
Using the same controls, move to the **toolchain path** and **set the location** to where you extracted the toolchain in step 4.
|
|
7) To be able to flash the board, you will also need to set the used com port in the **Download Configuration --->** option.
|
|
**TIPS : set the download rate to : 2000000**, this should speed up the flashing process.
|
|
8) Now save your configuration and exit.
|
|
9) Finally, type :
|
|
```bash
|
|
#This will remove all builded object to start from a clean environment (Needed only once)
|
|
make distclean
|
|
|
|
#This will only compile the library part of the firmware
|
|
make lib
|
|
|
|
#This will compile the actual firmware using the libraries and produce the .bin file
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
#This will flash the board using the previously generated .bin file
|
|
make down
|
|
|
|
#This will do both previous commands in one (build and flash)
|
|
make flash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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 :
|
|
* A single 450 mAh cell lipo 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 |
|
|
|
|
## Some screenshots of the achieved visuals currently running on the watch using lvgl :
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Here is a preview of what the PCB should look like :
|
|
### The front :
|
|
|
|
|
|
### The back :
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Update 21/03/2023 : PCBs were received from JLCPCB and this what they look like :
|
|
|
|
|
|
### **Almost everything works :**
|
|
* BMA456 ✓
|
|
* BMP280 ✓
|
|
* QMC5883L ✓
|
|
* Screen + touch panel ✓
|
|
* CH340E for chip programming ✓
|
|
* Vibration motor ✓
|
|
* Charge IC ✓
|
|
|
|
### **To sort out :**
|
|
* DW01A chip not driving the double N mosfet as expected :-(
|
|
* Round lipo battery not having the capacity advertised, will have to change it :-(
|
|
|
|
## Next steps :
|
|
* Finish to design and print the casing.
|
|
* Find an other battery 450 mAh or bigger would be great.
|
|
* Add BLE.
|
|
* Write and release a usable firmware for every day use.
