Is it possible to render UTF-8 characters (Kanji)?

@MaBe Do you think it's possible to 3D print a custom "N S E W" ring around the watch face?
-
@mabe WOW that is so cool!!! you should put it up on thingiverse. I am definitely going to be printing one of these out. could you do a 22mm version as well? I noticed there are various cheap watch straps on ebay that range from 14 - 22mm

re "If the Puck never gets found, you may have to power cycle the Puck by taking the battery out. If you know of a way around this, please tell me!" I've found that as long as I make sure all other sessions have disconnected from the puck then it goes back into discovery mode, but does not advertise itself if it's currently connected

I think the light sensor on the puck is an LED (http://makezine.com/projects/make-36-boards/how-to-use-leds-to-detect-light/) so maybe the sampling frequency is much lower than a dedicated oscillator style sensor like the TSL2591?

I'm working on a wearable watch light meter for manual photography. I shoot film with cameras that don't have built in exposure meters and it would be nice to have one on my wrist. Doesn't have a display yet but I can use my iPhone to read the value via Adafruit's Bluefruit console. I just got this prototype working about 10 minutes ago :D
Code is here: https://gist.github.com/maxogden/1d9715a448f64513507623090f27c437
Sensor is the TSL2591 breakout from Adafruit. Watch is from https://www.tindie.com/products/deadbeelabs/strapon-purple/Warning: I'm a software person, not a hardware person :)
I have the Puck's battery holder hot glued to the bottom of the circuit board to act as a pivot point so I can depress the entire watch face to have the puck's momentary button switch engage. It even works one-handed if I have the watch on snugly and flex my wrist upwards.
Excellent thanks @MaBe!
