I think this would do it (https://gist.github.com/ruiokada/b28076d4911820ddcbbc) thou I think I can make it a bit faster for the bangle as we have a function for the date etc.

Also would be a good example of how to get the lat/lon from bangle? I am thinking one of the moon apps would be a good place to start?

I look forward to downloading this app @BenJabituya

Not very up on my basic astrophysics so sorry if this is an easy equation

Hi
I was thinking if bangle knows the GPS and the current time (as part of that) could it not work out if time till sunset etc?
I was thinking of just adding this as information to a watch face I wanted to make but I think it could also be useful in automating some things with the brightness of some apps etc, I.e. higher after dark etc, or even change the colours as it gets "darker".

That's works better :-)
Thou I think the position of the widgets is changed along the now top, so that now the battery one, for example, use to be on the far right but now it is in the middle with other widgets either side of it.
Might have to play around with it to see why that is

Ow I tested it on the watch but I think the widgets are only called when you are one the watch face? I will have a look at some of the lancher/other apps that use the widgets and work it out :-)

Ok, but then I get the error "Uncaught Error: Function "forEach" not found!"
Is that just as I am running it on the emulator and thus there are no widgets running for it to run over?

For the WIDGETS part of WIDGETS.forEach(w=>w.area="tl");Bangle.d­rawWidgets(); do I need to define WIDGETS ? Or do I need to make my own WIDGETS for this to work?
Thanks

Sorry you answered that above

Just while I have brought it up is there a way to set values for the bangle on the emulator? I.e. if I wanted it to seem like the bangle was not charging etc?

Ignore me, I worked it out sorry

Hi
Just getting started on a new app and I wanted to try things out on the emulator before I do anything with the watch, this is the way I have played with a lot of other peoples code on here and I really like that I can do that with this IDE.
That said I have a part of my current project that asks the bangle if it is charging (just simple Bangle.isCharging() ) and that course the emulator to fail.
As this is not an important value for the app I am doing, I was wondering if there was a way to set values for things like this when in the emulator?
I mean is there a way to check if the code is being run in an emulator and as such be able to suply value to get it to run?

Just thinking but how accurate would that temp be if we were able to know the rough level of CPU usage when the call is made?
Just thinking could this be used for a rough approximation of Temp around the bangle?

Hi
I made that attached bangle Dock after seeing @Gordon awesome wood one so I just want to show that off to start :-P

Due to lock down my bangle spends most of its time in this dock so I want to make a more elaborate app to go with it rather than the current Dock app, which is fine but I feel is meant for when you have things to monter.
Current list of possible features.
1) start the app when places in charger dock (should be easy with the current Dock code)
2) simple clock (like the one currently done in Dock app, but bigger)
3) Move widgets to the left-hand side of the screen (now top in the dock). - I am not sure how to do this one? Is there a universal value for the widget bar that can be changed by other apps?
4) have notifications pop up on this repositioned widget bar
5) Power saving -I know it will be on change anyway but was thinking of having a setting for times when the led brightness is lowered to 0.2, i.e. during the middle of the night

The point is to make the bangle into more of a smart bedside clock when it is the dock.
I have let to start working with bangle code so I wanted to check if I was attempting a bit more then was currently posable with the widgets etc?
Either way, something to do during lockdown so happy new year everyone.

@dapgo Thanks!
I looked in the Bluetooth and found the bangle was paired all along (just hidden).
So stop that and it paired fine after a long wait :-) Thank you agin

Yeah, I have now tried that and even uninstalled and reinstalled the GadgetBridge app but no luck so far.
Think I will try putting GadgetBridge on a different device and see if that works.
Thanks,

Hi @Gordon
Thanks for the reply. I did try that :-/ The bangle connects fine to the app loader etc so I have a feeling that it is an issue with Gadgetbridge, might just keep playing around with it and see if it starts working.
Thanks.

Hi
As I said I did a lot of updates to the app on the bangle today (thou I have bee running it on firmware 2V08 for some time now) and at the same time did the update from f-droid for the Gadgetbridge app on my phone.
When I went to start up Gadgetbridge I could not see my bangle any more and when I try to add the bangle the Gadgetbridge just scans forever and will not find it :-/
Any help would awasome as I wanted to show it off to family at x-mass lol

Oww are you talking about wrapping the antenna around the black bit of plastic sitting between the glass and the LCD? That could look really cool and likely get a good signal.

I have a feeling this project will just need a bit of trile and error to find what works best. that said they are cheap so good project to solve in that way :-)
Let you guests know how it goes

I have seen this before too but assumed it was the "default" date as it would go away after auto-GPS clock found a satellite

So I have seen that there is no NFC in the Bangle,js itself and nothing on the software side that would make adding one easy.
That said I wondered if anyone had tried adding just a (non-powered) NFC chip to the inside/outside of the bangle (or even as part of the strap)?
I was thinking something simpler to what people do to mod the old Casio watches (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BTN5aQKKg0
).
They use a rather cheep sticker NFC chip here (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00PUELZMS/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=techsas05-21&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B00PUELZMS&linkId=b1d2d4ad23ad25880d66e885aa5391a2).

I am not sure you could/should use them for contactless payment but still could be a nice add one for the price?
What do people think? worth doing adding? and where to put it if I do?

There is no "upvote" here but that sounds awesome @Gordon
Only tried the update for a day so far but seems good. will check back after the week

awsome I will update to it tonight and see if it helps :-)

Adding to what we know.
I have seen on my own bangle the % of battery go from 1-3 and then move around that level for the rest of the day. I think it is clear the battery % is not very accurate

@Gordon yes it is 2V06 but I think you can ignore me as the min it was connected to power it jumped to 70% so I think it is just a point that the battery widget is a bit buggy
