About DeskWatch

DeskWatch is a project thinked and realized by Simone Romano. It consists in something very similarity to a smartwatch. It allows you to:

  • Connect your android device by using SDW app
  • Check the time, date, week day, operator status, locality (by enabling GPS on android device), all device notification (es. whatsapp, facebbok, mail...)
  • Check number and name for all incoming call
  • Enable flash led (present on board) by phone app or by touch display
  • Set backlight manually or by phone app

Hardware project consists into a SmartWatch realized by using:

  • 2,4" tft touch display
  • 1 bluetooth HC-05
  • 2 Atmega 328p: first one manage display and send/receive request to 2 second one; the seconde one manage bluetooth to receive/send bluetooth message to android phone
  • lm317 regulator to convert in voltage to 3.3v
  • high brightness led (flash)
  • IR led

Software project consists in:

  • 2 arduino sketch loaded on 2 atmega:
    • 1st manage display, touch and serial connection with the other one
    • 2nd manage connection with the atmega (serial communication) and with android smartphone (bluetooth communication)
  • Android app to send bluetooth message to deskwatch (hour, date, notifications...)

State of art

Actually project is working with a beta-version of android app. All components works together.

Future possible works:

  • IR commnad: board contains an IR led connected to atmega328p that manage bluetooth; actually it isn't used but deskwatch contains an "command app" thinked to command Samsung tv.
  • Standby from android app
  • Desktop client
  • Rechargeable battery: now deskwatch works with external power (7v up to 35v)
