STEM Box Circuitmess : ClockStar

STEM Box 6 by CircuitMess: ClockStar the connected watch

With this kit, you will learn how to build and code your own intelligent handheld device. Clockstar is equipped with a dual-core ESP32 microcomputer and has a low-power Bluetooth system and Wi-Fi on board. It connects to your phone using the CircuitMess mobile application and can reflect your smartphone's notifications on its 128×128 TFT colour screen. 

Clockstar is also equipped with a gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer that can be used for precise motion tracking. The watch uses the learning machine to recognize and store different movements that you can assign to trigger certain actions.  For example, you can train your Clockstar to play/pause the music application on your phone when you perform a dance.

What you can do with ClockStar :

• Check the time (yes, it shows the time!)
• Connect it to your smartphone and mirror notifications 
• Control the media application on your phone with your smartwatch
• Use the learning machine to detect when you do a certain Fortnite dance and automatically send a laughing and crying emoji to one of your friends.
• Code the watch to count the number of steps you take each day.
• Play the Tetris game built into your watch
•  Connect the watch to the internet and interface it with other IdO products such as Spencer or Wheelson.
