@Shufei I think PineTime is simple enough for new coders (though some wiring is needed)... Take a look at this doc and lemme know what you think 😀 https://medium.com/@ly.lee/build-and-flash-rust-mynewt-firmware-for-pinetime-smart-watch-5e14259c55?source=friends_link&sk=150b2a73b84144e5ef25b985e65aebe9

@lupyuen Thank you that is *excellent* documentation. Yes, not too much of a reach for me sometime, I hope. I’m basically comfortable with a soldering iron &c.

Is this firmware fiddling any different with VSCodium? I’d prefer no MS bits.

My interest would be putting 月曆、八字 clock info on, so hope it has pretty good UTF8 support? I could trim down a font if need be.

Not something I shall do directly, but I’m quite keen on the PineTime, so thanks heaps for your info!

@Shufei Yep check back with us anytime, we would love to have more Asian developers :-)

We have an active chatroom on Matrix / Discord / Telegram / IRC: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PineTime#Community

Things are moving quite fast on PineTime... Today the most promising UI toolkit on PineTime seems to be LittlevGL on Rust: https://github.com/rafaelcaricio/lvgl-rs

I think the toolkit will support Unicode fonts (including 月曆、八字) real soon 🙂

風水 on #PineTime Smart Watch @PINE64 ... Now that's an idea! 😃

@lupyuen @PINE64 I’ll have to take a good read of the schematic. Does it have any accelerometers or compass bits? I could indeed see this quite in use for 風水、天文等等⋯ Such intimate UX must needs attend to cultures of embodiment and environmental relation. I’d love to chat with any devs so interested, so thanks for the matrix and irc link!

@Shufei @PINE64 Yep I'm not so good with hardware... But someone in the chatroom should be able to help 😀

Wonder what's the "New Normal" for 風水 when we add new requirements like Social Distancing? 🤔
