minus-squarehistic@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·9 months agoI wonder how hard it would be to open source something similar with something like an nrf52 or similar and a 3d printed enclosure I might have to look into this tbh
minus-squareSeekPie@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-29 months agoIdk if Bangle.js is open source, but I imagine a e-ink display could be possible?

RIP in peace Pebble
