    I see "That product can't be shipped to your address"

    The board is easy to solder too, plus you get two buttons.

    inside

    I should add: I removed the original SQUARE display as it was cracked on delivery; that leaves the entire 12-pin array of solder points so if you can solder at 0.6mm you can get 3.3,GND,and 5 GPIOs (for the display CS,RST,SDA,SCL,DC). These are tricky and fragile solder points so I just used two here and secured them

    I do believe he still has several hundred thousand of those...

    I found 3 pads on the back that were not listed on @fanoush's Magic3 pin table: D13 (unmarked, grouped with SXD,TXD,D+,D-), D28 (unmarked, to the far right of that cluster), and D27 (unmarked, to the near right, below and to the left of D28). I also reused I2C SDA/SCL as I have removed the touchscreen. Of course, that's the ACCEL lines as well, so you'd have to write a cooperative routine that makes sure they don't interfere with each other.

    Also good for hacking is the DT28 (also cheap on AE). No "new" pins that I found, but you can find the touchscreen pads (SDA,SCL,INT,RST). When I get a chance I can check the RX/TX to see what they are...

    @fanoush Lots of things to try, thank you. So far, it's still going (nearly 2 days now) so that's a good sign that it was simply the SPI flash not sleeping. But if I do choose to use it, I'll have to know some of these tricks.

    totally agree I don't know why they share those lines.. and this one actually shares data and clock with display, SPI flash AND accelerometer! However, as I've removed the display and the touchscreen, I've grabbed the touchscreen SDA/SCL for my e-ink display, so that's not shared.

    However, I'm not initializing the accelerometer at all, so I'm hoping it's not doing anything (yet). My intention was to use a very basic JS driver and simply ignore any requests if the SPI flash is low. Klunky, but it should do for now.

    Right now the watch has been running off charger for 19hours, but NRF.getBattery() is reporting 3.02 so not expecting it to last the night... this is with manually setting the SPI flash to sleep (current firmware isn't using it for Storage, but it is compiled in so I can get it via require("Flash"))

    Ah, so it wouldn't run anyway... cool. I'll try that. Right now I've manually sent the whole thing a sleep command, and it's been running for 9h on a 20 min charge, so cross fingers there.

    Thank you!

    I have Espruino running on a DT28 smartwatch (NRF52832) with its display removed. I've soldered wires to the main board to run an e-ink display, which works fine. The watch has an 8MB SPI flash chip which I've compiled in and it works, but with power issues. My first pass I was getting nothing back with every first call (call .list() get nothing, call it again, get file list). This sounded like it needed to be woken up, so I added the flag 'DEFINES += -DSPIFLASH_SLEEP_CMD', # SPI flash needs to be explicitly slept and woken up and it that stopped the errors, but now my battery dies in about 2 days (as opposed to 10 days without flash at all). I don't have an easy way to measure the power draw other than battery life (a 200mAh which I charger for 2 hours).

    BTW: SPI flash shares NO GPIOs with the display. It DOES share CLK/DATA with the accelerometer, but I do not initialize or use that at all (yet).

    All thoughts appreciated. Board file is
