I just stumbled upon https://blog.johannes-mittendorfer.com/artikel/2020/10/my-toothbrush-streams-gyroscope-data
It looks quite good documented. My phone provides the same kind of information with the nRF Connect app.

A quick hack of bledetect using this
```
  deviceMenu[device.id] = () => { 
	  NRF.connect("24:e5:xx:xx:xx:xx").then(function(server) {
			console.log("conn");
		});
	  console.log(device.id);
	  };
```
actually shows the device can connect.

I have to admit that I still don't get the concept of digging further into that (i.e. how to retrieve values from the device). But maybe someone want to take care of it :)

We might be eventually able to use the brush as a joystick or even show useful information like battery level, showing the mode or a stop watch.

... maybe it's possible to somehow figure out from the gyro which bits of your mouth you've cleaned - however I imagine most people could remember :)

I know. 😀 But there might be different use cases for all the sensors.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
