Posted at 2023-10-01 by user156577 btw i am ok to pay small donation (USD25?) if someone could help in the critical step each time. Posted at 2023-10-01 by @fanoush
not true, can be programmed over BLE too and you can of course take it apart if you prefer SWD
I'd say it is almost trivial but I may be wrong :-) For starting and learning the version is not important. By the time you learn enough (even with older version) you won't be asking that question. I did not update my builds mainly because nobody had issues with older version and it is probably the same reason for other builds you found. So feel free to jump in. Building your own build from source for any device is a good start. And BTW Pinetime or P8 is 52832 based watch like Bangle 1. Bangle 2 is 52840 based so it has 4x the RAM (256 vs 64 KB) and 4x faster SPI for updating the display. There are also very cheap hackable 52840 watches like C17/Magic3 or QY03 Posted at 2023-10-01 by @fanoush
And BTW this is one line fix in display initialization (which is done in javascript), maybe ask GPT4 (or google) for mirrored ST7789 if you haven't this already solved. Or search eucwatch repo for MADCTL. Posted at 2023-10-01 by ccchan hi, thx for help, should be the following at bottom. however you suggested that indeed bangle.js v2 is not "expensive", it's i likely will now...
thank you eucwatch: P8/init/init.js cmd([0x36, 0]); // MADCTL - This is an unrotated screen Posted at 2023-10-01 by ccchan p8 got 5 variants and i bought the troublesome one, bad experience. i'll better pay more and buy the version that is used by most people (better support) and more consistent. thx Posted at 2023-10-01 by @fanoush
you would buy 'troublesome one' if you'd get one based on Goodix GR5515 CPU as some other people got, as long as it is nrf52832 they are just different :-)
Oh, if you know which one it is (I don't) then how will you find shop that still sells it? It may be quite random what you get, most sellers even don't know (or care) what version they are shipping. That may be one advantage of Pinetime - it is basically a P8 but you pay extra to get same version as others. Posted at 2023-10-01 by ccchan i mean i'll pay more to buy pinetime/bangle.js instead of buying from aliexpress. thanks Posted at 2023-10-22 by user156811 @ccchan any luck with the pinetime i was thinking about doing something similiar Posted at 2023-10-22 by user156811 So this is a port too the G5 Here's also a port of the dongle Also sounds like a simple build for the same processor as the pinetime Posted at 2023-10-22 by user156811 This is the G5 custom board.py file Posted at 2023-10-22 by user156811 Pin map A project code representative for the map Posted at 2023-10-22 by user156811 Here's a post of another person trying the same thing Posted at 2023-10-22 by user156811 This is getting the starfield watch on a custom firmware. If i have tomorrow. I'll try playing around flashing my 52480DK board. If that goes well i'll try working with the pinetime. Posted at 2023-10-22 by ccchan running espruino on pt+p8 is a low priority for me,
1: if i have time, i'll first run it on p8b-mir (need sometime to tune the mirroring), then verify about PIN numbers and see if need to modify.

hi, I missed this post, sorry, I think all versions work, if you want your p8 working try the following: using this loader, do a full install (choose the p8-P22-pineTime) option. When everything is uploaded, press the disconnect button n the loader. |

hi,
previously i bought a p8b but it's a mirrored version,
i installed espruino as in the eucwatch;
except the mirror-ed screen, things seems working i.e. bootup, connect to private store of p8.
i got a sealed pinetime so cant do developement,
i am consider buying a bangle.js v2 and forget about pinetime,
or but a pinetime dev kit and try agian.
i saw from eucwath or else, the p8/pinetime espruino is just v2.14 vs latest v2.19,
any one can comment is it hard to pick from what others have been done?
i.e.; to install the ported espruino on pinetime,
and update the espruino appropriately.
if i got money, i'll buy a bangle v2 + pinetime dev kit.
i still wish espruino to happen on pinetime, as pinetime is cheaper, have color display, and i believe pinetime would be available for a longer time -- their development cycle is slow, and bangle.js v2, althought is a china tailor-ed model, may not be available at all times.
thank you.
ps: i got some 3 month college programming knowledge, and rely on gpt4.
