Arduino Based Watch - OLED, Menu, RTC

Have you ever wanted a device which is too large for a watch but yet too small for a clock?

Well, it is, but it can easily be made into a watch, and also easily be made into a clock (like a mini clock, you know what I mean)

Note: This is Open Source as I have decided to make it, but still credit me if this is used in other projects or taken inspiration

Note AGAIN: This is an Unfinished Project and with an Arduino nano, a smaller watch can be made.

Lets Start!

Step 1: Video & Pictures of It in ACTION!

Here, you can see the features of the watch, including:

stopwatch

timer

set time

tell time

tell temperature through rtc module

Step 2: Supplies Needed:

- one SSD1306 i2c OLED

- one DS3231 Breakout Board

- three Pushbuttons

- three 1 kilohm resistors

- sixteen male to male wires (or not if no prototyping and on a smaller form factor)

- one breadboard (or not if no prototyping and on a smaller form factor)

- oh yes, and one Arduino (all are fine, but in this example, it's an Arduino Uno)

Step 3: Schematic

Here is the schematic, if you need it (wiring guide coming up!) (if you want to follow this, go ahead and skip to step 7)

Edit: sorry the schematic was wrong but now it is fixed

Step 4: Wiring Guide: Power

Simply Connect 3.3v and GND to the Power lines on the Breadboard

Step 5: Wiring Guide: OLED

Connect the OLED to the Arduino, Following the Schematic (see, the wires even are the same color!)

Connect VCC to the 3.3v Power Rail

Connect GND to GND on the Power Rail

Connect SCL to A5 or dedicated SCL pin

Connect SDA to A4 or dedicated SDA pin

Step 6: Wiring Guide: RTC Breakout Board

Again, Place the RTC on the breadboard and connect it to the Arduino

Connect VCC to the 3.3v Power Rail

Connect GND to GND on the Power Rail

Connect SCL to A5 or dedicated SCL pin

Connect SDA to A4 or dedicated SDA pin

(connections are same as OLED)

Step 7: Wiring Guide: Pushbuttons

Connect as shown, and you're done! (well this is a simple watch, but not simple software)

Connect Midbutton from pin 2 to VCC on the Power Rail

10K resistor connected from pin 2 to GND on the Power Rail

Connect Upbutton from pin 5 to VCC on the Power Rail

10K resistor connected from pin 5 to GND on the Power Rail

Connect Dwnbutton from pin 6 to VCC on the Power Rail

10K resistor connected from pin 6 to GND on the Power Rail

Step 8: The Code!

Here's the Code, have fun with your watch!

Libraries used:

Adafruit SSD 1306 Library: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_SSD1306

Adafruit GFX Library: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-GFX-Library

Wire Library: Should be builtin (it should have come with Arduino when you installed the program), but here it is anyway. https://www.resistorpark.com/content/Arduino_Libraries/wire.zip

DS3231 RTC library: http://rinkydinkelecronics.com/download.php?f=DS3231.zip

HELLO CYNTHIA

Step 9: Xtra Step: Extracting the Libraries (if You Know How, Skip This Step)

In the Menu Bar, Go to

Sketch >> Include Library >> Add .ZIP Library

and select the zip file through the popup window

Step 10: How to Use Your Watch

Simply Use the Three Buttons as Interface buttons,

In the Watch Menu:

• The button connected to Pin 5 is Enter Menu


• The button connected to Pin 6 is Enter Menu


• The button connected to Pin 2 is Enter Menu

In the Menu:

• The button connected to Pin 5 is UP


• The button connected to Pin 6 is DOWN


• The button connected to Pin 2 is ENTER

In the Stopwatch:

• The button connected to Pin 5 is Start / Stop


• The button connected to Pin 6 is Reset


• The button connected to Pin 2 is Exit

In the Timer:

• The button connected to Pin 5 is Start / Reset&Stop


• The button connected to Pin 6 is Mode / Nothing


• The button connected to Pin 2 is Exit

In Set Time:

• The button connected to Pin 5 is (+ Time)


• The button connected to Pin 6 is ( - Time)


• The button connected to Pin 2 is Next / Exit

Step 11: Further Steps

• Bluetooth Module With Notifications


• Less Variables - Very Messy Throughout the Code


• Minimize Watch (Arduino Nano, Standalone DS3231, PCB?)


• Sleep Functions to use less Power

Use these ideas to further develop this watch!
