• Connecting Bangle 2 Windows 10

  in Bangle.js • 2 days, 13 hours

  

  As @fanoush says, maybe you (or an app that use it) had enabled HID (which makes window 'grab' the device as it thinks it's a keyboard/mouse/etc).

  Otherwise maybe enabling passkey pairing or something like that did it?

• BTHRM issue depending on the firmware version.

  in Bangle.js • 2 days, 13 hours

  

  Ok, just fixed! Looks like bthrm was doing some fancy stuff trying to cache characteristics to get it to connect faster, and with the newer firmwares that are capable of connecting to multiple devices, the BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic now needs to reference the device it's for.

• Bangle.js 2 Storage Corruption

  in Bangle.js • 2 days, 13 hours

  

  Argh, sorry to hear that. If anyone can find a way to reproduce this then I can look into it, but again it's a really hard one for me to debug when I haven't been able to reproduce here.

• Connect to AppLoader leads to "invalid json" message

  in Bangle.js • 2 days, 14 hours

  

  Looks like you did this already, but best to comment on the original post at http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/­377121/ as we're trying to debug it on that

• Module [font] not found

  in Bangle.js • 2 days, 14 hours

  

  I think it's pretty standard - if you look at the chrome dev console it'll probably say something like "Can't load insecure HTTP from secure HTTPS page".

  https://www.espruino.com/modules/ should have been set as the default modules URL, so is it possible you changed it to http?

• Adding a date feature in BangleApps

  in Bangle.js • 2 days, 14 hours

  

  Can't you add an option to let the custom BangleApps show the official and current appdates.csv?

  Maybe... but then your apps wouldn't appear in it - which maybe isn't what you want?

  But actually, since you have your own branch, you could do this pretty easily yourself? The code is at https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoAppL­oaderCore/blob/c46b4edd2052d0df37fea41f8­839af8175a78ec9/js/index.js#L99-L118 so either you could change that, or you could just copy & paste the code into your local loader.js file with the different URL.

  Or if you wanted to do a PR to make it use a Const.APPS_DATES_FILE constant instead then you could easily add a one-liner to loader.js to get it from wherever you want

  It would be great if we could have the official BangleApps and a personal BangleApps available

  This feels pretty niche... I mean you can always just go to banglejs.com/apps on your phone's web browser, see what's new, and then upload from Gadgetbridge? But if you wanted to send in a PR for a menu option in Gadgetbridge that could definitely be added.

• Bluetooth problem

  in Bangle.js • 2 days, 14 hours

  

  It's possible it's to do with some configuration on the watch itself that's causing bluetooth to be disabled. Please can you try the steps here and see what happens?

  https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js2#rese­tting-without-loading-any-code

  After that, you should hopefully be able to connect (it ensures it ignores any config that was previously on the watch). After that, maybe try upgrading the firmware via the 'firmware update' app.

  If all that fails, you could also try uploading firmware using the NRF Toolbox app: https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js2#andr­oid-ios-app but I'd say try that only as a last resort

• Lock vs. ScreenOff vs. BacklightOff

  in Bangle.js • 2 days, 15 hours

  

  Is this all connected (i.e. the same)?

  In the menu, yes. It is possible to manually configure it with https://www.espruino.com/Reference#l_Ban­gle_setOptions and lockTimeout/lcdPowerTimeout/backlightTim­eout though

  However it may not be such a good idea. The reason we 'lock' is twofold - to stop accidental presses but also because when the touchscreen is powered on it draws around 1.5mA (IIRC). It means that all by itself, the touchscreen would flatten the battery in around 5 days.

• HID Keyboard security settings / encryption and HID identifier

  in Interfacing • 2 days, 15 hours

  

  the default seems to be "off" and I wonder why that is

  It's because at least initially it made it harder to connect sometimes - and for everyone that has a connection error that's one more person not having it work out of the box and asking for support :)

  the combo minified module might be broken

  You mean this? https://www.espruino.com/BLE+Keyboard#co­mbination

  If it is, can you let me know for sure and what's wrong/what error you get and I'll look into it?

  I'm not sure what you can do about the icon - I think if you're just a keyboard it'll work ok? So it might just be a side-effect of it trying to do two things at once.

  In terms of security, I'd have said that NRF.setSecurity({passkey:"123456", mitm:1, display:1}); would be a good start, which should force the requirement for a secure connection. You'd probably also want to turn the UART service off completely

• nested Layouts

  in Bangle.js • 2 days, 15 hours

  

  Ahh, right! That's an interesting point. I don't think there is a way to do that at the moment.

  If E.showMenu exported the scr object then I guess you'd be able to do m=E.showMenu();m.select(menuItemIndex); but right now I don't believe it can be done
