Hi, I am using the p8 watch as a dash for electric unicycles, not very similar to the bangle.js, no gps or compass, and a monopole for the antenna, not very precise in shape or length like Fanoush said . I was too having signal problems when in open space (less reflections, more environment/motor noise).
The p8 has good bt signal, some 10 meters indoors, yet I wanted more to keep a solid connection outdoors, so I played a bit with the monopole length. It is possible to get it to a phone level signal, the best way is trial and error, start with the longest length you can fit in a nice shape and trim off mm by mm, till you get the results you need.
I looked at the disassembly video of the bangle.js. and I cannot see the bt antenna.

I also see it has a metal bottom cap, this may explain the bt range problems. I thing it is worth the trouble to try and find the antenna, and maybe change it to a monopole and move it to the front somehow, it may help others too.this is a p8 in action :)

needs some more work, but the dash is now really nice, top bars are regen braking, bottom ones are acceleration power.

It's funny how things just fall in place with this project, the solution to the bridge puzzle was in front of my eyes. :)
One of the wheels, the segway/xiaomi/ninebot Z, uses the nordic chipset with the default serial service. So by emulating this wheel, I can now have any program connect, no changes to the app or espruino needed :)

I also want to thank @Fanoush, we have not finished the inmotionV11 client yet, this is why I haven't already posted about it, but the image is stable with a 59 bytes long mtu.
Thank you both very much.

Thank you for the nice feedback, I really appreciate it.
You are one of those persons that never spam, I will ask you for some dsd6's later if you still have some.
-
yes, your software is super, it is updating a bit slow but that is me. :)
I will continue with the bridge, it will be useful for adding say a dsd6 inside the helmet only for receiving alarms from its buzzer. Later it will be really nice if I could add those characteristics so that the the phone app can connect without changes.
this is a small video of the wheels settings menu, garage and all. :D

a small video with a test :)

I did it my self on wheelllog since it is open source. But the eucWorld app, which is based on wheelllog is not open source, and it it the only that I care about having because of its logging and online maps features. Also I think darkness bot, the dominant iphone app, has the same checks.
But in any case, it is more of a "wanting to do" thing, I wanted to make the bridge work, and it drove me mad that I couldn't. Now that I know why it did't work I am feeling much better.
I will continue working on it and when it is finished with the menus and all, I may ask for some more help.
yes the ceramic antenna can be removed and replaced with a wire. It will have two contacts, one is ground, this should be left unused.
