• Bangle.js 2: How do I use it as delivered? Is there any user documentation?

  in Bangle.js • 3 years

  

  I saw one that sorta does that - its a old bangle 1 app tho - "hour chime". What you want can be done super easily. The core function would be just a couple of lines of code:

  let chime = setInterval(function(){
    let d = new Date();
    if((d.getMinute() == 0) && (d.getHour()>8 && d.getHour() < 22)){
       Bangle.buzz(400,1);
    }
  }, 60 * 1000);
  

  that's it basically. You could just put that into a widget and be done. the easiest to mod is probably https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps/tree/master/apps/widver. just replace everything between line 1 and 9 ;).

  Okay it happened again. Freshly opened chrome window -however I had an outlook web instance running in another chrome window.

  I agree that the way the docs are structure are a bit idiosyncratic - Personally I am solving it with having a bookmark folder with all the bits I saved for later. Finding stuff 3 links deep is not easy otherwise. For a project with this little resources its quite quite good really. Stuff is documented even if you cannot find it right away :).

  Realistically compared with say the Pebble the UI is "horrible but serviceable". I can live with it but well I don't have to. its all just a bunch of Javascript files really they are super easy to modify. Hence why I would not worry whats "on the watch" out of the box.

  Most important are probably these 3 links for me:
  https://www.espruino.com/ide/# the IDE allows you to both test stuff really quick and more crucially explore whats on the watch currently. You can explore and download these apps and modify them directly.

  https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps contains all the apps source code in the apps directory. Look at how others did stuff.

  https://www.espruino.com/Reference#software I use the API reference a lot. ctrl-f is your friend here.

  I cannot reproduce it either now. Simply reopening the browser must have fixed it. I managed to do it twice (upgrading left the .info file and i could "uninstall" that then). but its gone now.

  You can grab the code I was playing with from here:

  Maybe you can tell something from the handmade info file.

  Just noticed that an app I was working on showed up as "Unknown app" and it offers to to upgrade it. Selecting this causes the App Loader to murder (delete everything but the .info file) it. No big deal but also probably not what should be happening.

  On a related note or is the "Upgrade" symbol maybe the wrong symbol- I would expect an arrow pointing straight up (with maybe line(s) under it). The symbol is more "reload/refresh/maybe update" than "upgrade".

• Is there any way to change the position of the widget bar?

  well I read that from the docs as well but the widgets get drawn by some external process regardless. So I removed all of them for now.
  The watchface will integrate the function of the most important ones anyway.

  Oh I hadn't seen that - I must study the API docs more

  Agreed, maybe even Block them? I am working on a fullscreen LCARS watchface that just does not look good with the widgets. Alternatively if i could at least chose what Y the widgets were at I might be able to integrate them somewhat.

• Cant connect Bangle 2 via Bluetooth

  I use chrome myself - i assume you went to chrome://flags and activated the experimental features & web Bluetooth? Not sure if that is part of non-google chromeium. I use Version 96.0.4664.45.
