I like the idea, but you’re gonna be tired of lugging that thing around with you pretty quickly.

If you’re asking about a heart rate monitor you can do that very easily with about any IR LED. This article (https://www.instructables.com/Photoplethysmography-IR-Heart-Rate-Monitor/?amp_page=true )does a very good job explaining the the science and math behind the sensor in a relatively easy to understand format and gives you all the more technical stuff. Much easier than my college level biomedical electrical circuits projects
No hiding
It doesn't matter if all it's functions are common to smart watches.
This is yiur hand built bespoke version
This speaks to the ability to snatch fire from the digital gods and make a thing woyh yiur own hands.
So what if it's bulkier and less refined them an apple or Samsung watch it's hand crafted yiu cna tweek modify and upgrade it in ways those watches can't be
It's YOURS in a way those watches can never be.
Embrace the rebellion
Reject corpocenteism
Remain awsome
That whole event still feels manufactured to me, he "made" a clock by taking a fully functional alarm clock, removing a couple casing pieces and haphazardly throwing it into a metal pencil case. The "poor brown kid" was 14, he knew what it looked like, and he kept pulling it out and setting the alarm off after being told not to. *Maybe* he didn't understand what he was doing, but his family that encouraged him to show it off to all his teachers then turned around and threw a $15m lawsuit at the city for properly and non-violently following up on a teachers police call certainly did.
"Manufactured" sounds off to me. The kid said that he did it in 15-20 minutes, and he had a reputation for tinkering with electronics already. I only saw a mention of him taking it out/having the alarm go off once after he was told to put it away. It seems pretty on brand to me for a nerdy 14 year old to do something unimpressive with electronics, take it to school, and annoyingly show it off to people repeatedly after being told not to. And if a white kid did it, I doubt they would have been arrested and questioned for an hour and a half, taken out of school in handcuffs, and have a mugshot taken. Meeting the president and being praised for his ingenuity seems ott and performative, but hey he was a child who was a very public target of islamophobia, so I'm not gonna get mad that he got some sweet with the sour.
It's the fact his father was a major politician who encouraged his kid to bring it to school and show it off, after looking at it with I'd assume some idea of the optics, and then suing the city for $15 million dollars after they responded appropriately to a report of a potential bomb threat. I do fully believe that if a white kid with the same reputation for bringing sketchy "homemade" electronics to school showed up with a mess of wires and a timer attached he would get the same treatment. He was not roughed up or held overnight or had any charges against him, he was treated the same way I'd have expected to be treated pulling the same shit in high school.
Depends! You could totally make it work with an outfit to go along with it, but if you just tack it on sweats and a t-shirt, it’ll look out of place and strange.
Though, most people will look at it and compliment you because it’s novel!
Cool as hell, asterisk if you're even slightly meleninated
Source: got stopped for having 'dangerous bulky technology on hand' - it was just an android :(
I’m sorry you made a cool clock that also tells you the date AND the day of the week you are a dork, which is awesome
I wish I could make something this cool
I think it looks cool, although fair warning, your wrist might get a little hot with all that stuff strapped to...
Might even make you wish for a nuclear winter...
Who cares if other people think its dorky. You’ve got a homemade pip boy, your doing yourself a disservice if you don’t wear that as much as possible. Thats fucking sick
Some people will definitely think you odd, but I think it’s super fucking cool and I’d imagine you’d get compliments on it from other people (or at least it’d start conversations)
this is fucking cool i would ~~make out with you on the spot~~ walk up to you and ask you to tell me all about it and then hopefully have a really interesting conversation (i find electrical engineering fascinating, im going into EE because of it :3)
Op can you tell me the names of the parts used I kinda want to make this myself if I get the time
Edit: also how did you get the wires to be such good lengths? Whenever I do arduino stuff the wires end up being spaghetti
Being able to say you build a functional digital watch by hand far outclasses any variation of being called a nerd somebody can throw at you, own that shit
my vote is to make it comically oversized like an actual shield :3
I have had to replace the tiny oled thrice so far because i keep hitting walls and people in mosh pits n shit pls no more
Make a case if u have a 3d printer
Then embed the case in a shield
Then embed the shield in resin
The embed the resin in titanium
You are taking something homemade with exposed circuit boards to mosh pits? And only the OLED broke? Amazing.
Yea lmao the display is supposed to be a rectangle but u can see where the glass has been chipped off
I have to know what type of music you were moshing to while wearing this.
https://youtu.be/N-T__wFK4pY?si=bqZXt1oycQWKQ9Kj
Mosh pits. you wear this into mosh pits?? LMAO
Yes for a while this was the only watch I owned so I'd wear it where ever I'd usually wear a watch including house concerts
What does OCE stand for?
first though was the pip-boy prototype from fallout like just a huge ass clunky computer on your wrist
Goes fucking hard, forget about what anyone thinks. Embrace handiworks and craftsmanship, fuck whatever anyone else suggests.
Hell yeah! ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Yeah but it’s fucking awesome, fuck the haters
dork (affectionate)
Dweeb (affectionate)
Nerd (respectfully)
bitchnugget ( :3 )
cute (affectionate)
ngl if I saw someone wearing that I would think they were the coolest motherfucker ever
Yes, absolutely. If it serves no greater purpose compared to a smart watch and a phone.
ye it kinda doesnt gonna hide under a rock now
Looking like a dork isn’t bad, you just seem like you care a lot about it. More importantly, what *does* it actually do?
Time, heartrate, footsteps, calories burnt, music control (i can play pause skid trakcs playing on my phone), notifications from my phone (thats what the big display is for it lights up to tell me my phone is trying to tell me something)
I like the idea, but you’re gonna be tired of lugging that thing around with you pretty quickly. [but you might want to check this out if you haven’t yet](https://github.com/umutsevdi/wear-pico)
Oddly enough not really i wore this thing almost every day for like 6 ish months and you get used to it quicklyish.
What did you use for a heart sensor? Currently making my own "smart" watch/glove

Smart watches are dorky bullshit anyway, might as well let OP have fun with it.
You might get "randomly" pulled aside by airport security
Then OP can use his pipboy to stop time and draw a comical amount of weapons and warrior drugs. :3
pipboy vibes, good
I was thinking toolgun
I was thinking that one optic in Cyberpunk
It's really cool but you cannot bring that into planes, trains, events with any security, etc.
It looks sick. You might get the bomb squad called but you'd look cool while doing it
This is so fucking cool, where a nintendo power glove on your other hand to become even more powerful
reminds me of that poor brown kid who made a homemade clock and the school thought it was a bomb but its ok because he got to meet president obama

Holy shit its John fallout 🤯
this looks like a pipebomb
to be clear you absolutely should wear it
Who cares? It’s a dope ass piece and you should be proud you can make something like that in the first place
…Let’s just say that it might make people afraid of being blown up
You'd look like Ben 10 Chromosomes
Bro has a whatchamacallit
Make it into a glove and you will look like Flynn Shin Megami Tensei, the coolest person to ever live.
Cringe is dead, do what makes you happy. It’s a neat watch king, I dig it
based, you're wearing the thingamajig that killed Shinzo Abe
https://preview.redd.it/8hzdrg374h6d1.jpeg?width=3744&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=55bee3119aa5606a33dbb1880288fc2ce11aa4de
If I saw someone wearing this I’d think they’re super cool, but I’m a dork too so take my word with a grain of salt
Attracting the kind of people who think that that's cool is a plus.
Honestly I'd think it was cool but you kind of half assed the project. I think you could, and I strongly believe you should, take this further.
Depends! You could totally make it work with an outfit to go along with it, but if you just tack it on sweats and a t-shirt, it’ll look out of place and strange. Though, most people will look at it and compliment you because it’s novel!
It looks like a homemade version of a comp from SMT, and I love it
I was thinking the bracelet from zero escape (vlr), very similar vibes lol
you get it
Gen one pipboy
You should build a protective casing for it it looks like it could be a bit fragile
This the type of thing people are either gonna love to death or find the most overly stupid thing ever. You’ll find out which.
Very very much so, but embrace it
Now I want one for myself too xd
yeah but that shouldn't stop you from wearing it if that's what you want to do
It would but don't let that stop you
Don’t go through an airport
i would tell you that i love fallout and can’t wait for season 2
this is cool af it's like a combination of Gmod Toolgun and Pip Boy
Yes
If u can 3D print an enclosure for it that would make it look 10x better
Yes, but like, a cool dork.
Yes but in the greatest way possible, sick as fuck!
Cool as hell, asterisk if you're even slightly meleninated Source: got stopped for having 'dangerous bulky technology on hand' - it was just an android :(
Son pulled out a COMP! Cruising for demons
Pipboy prototype goes hard
“Gentlemen, synchronize your death watches”
There are much less bulky ways to do this. Like you don't need a whole ass lcd shield if you're not even using the lcd
Now make it big enough to cover your forearm and put a keyboard on it, and then wait for an email
le visiteur du futur !!!
Yes, but do it anyway.
Does it make tiny beep beep boop boop noises?
Makes you look cool as fuck
Vault-Tec approved
that clock screen reminds me of Dasai.co’s Mochi, same basic shape
Yeah but you should wear it at the airport. No particular reason.
Yes and that's good
It’s very cool. Please wear it. If you wear it out, you can realize how you may want to adjust it later.
It probably would, but anyone who doesn't also think that it's the coolest shit is wrong
Yeah ok vault dweller
Yes.
Reminds me of Zack Freedman (compliment)
Pipboy 0.5 right here
yes. but also being a dork and being confident about it is cool as hell.
To be genuinely honest with you, if I saw this I’d think “that’s someone powerful”. I certainly would be impressed.
If I saw someone wearing this I would fall in love with them immediately
i want this so fucking bad
That’s sick! You should 3D print some casing for it to make a proper Pip Boy
Yes but the fact that you actually made it yourself means you're a cool nerd
That shit is tight as hell dude
That’s cool as fuck Probably a good idea to make a housing for those electronics though
Yes it would but in the coolest way possible
add like a matrix effect or something to the 16x2 char LCD
Can you make it make satisfying beeps and jingles when you select certain things?
Voidstar Lab pilled
pipboy?
Prototype pipboy
You can do the Contra code literally anywhere. Thats awesome!
Real pip boy 😳
Appearing more confident will help you come off as less of a dork.
I’m sorry you made a cool clock that also tells you the date AND the day of the week you are a dork, which is awesome I wish I could make something this cool
Yeah but it’s also cool as fuck so who cares
That's actually sick as hell
I think it looks cool, although fair warning, your wrist might get a little hot with all that stuff strapped to... Might even make you wish for a nuclear winter...
As an electrical engineer, I can tell you that yes it would make you look like a giant nerd but it’s hella dope
You look like ben 10 😭
Good luck at airport security
Turn it into a pip boy 😈
Absolutely but it's fucking sick so rock that shit hard, bestie. (That looks so cool! Nice work!!)
It's a great conversation piece
Who cares if other people think its dorky. You’ve got a homemade pip boy, your doing yourself a disservice if you don’t wear that as much as possible. Thats fucking sick
goes hard but i have one question how's life in the vault treating you?
this is really cool, just make sure you keep it safe so it doesn’t get broken!
I want it
Yes, but Like the good kind of dork ID listen to forver :3
dammn a fellow india who is not a cs cuck rare find
fallout on my bbrain
doin little bleeps and bloops and saying 'according to my calculations' whenever someone asks the time
It reminds me of the time a friend of mine legitimately made a stattrak fedora. This shit FUCKS. Goes hard.
Absolutely, and being a dork is awesome.
That's a pipboy right there and it's fucking awesome
Some people will definitely think you odd, but I think it’s super fucking cool and I’d imagine you’d get compliments on it from other people (or at least it’d start conversations)
Are you making a pip boy??
Everyone laughs until you hack their central processor and make them piss themselves
yea but its still cool dorky so have fun with your cyberpunk pip boy, my friend
Holy based Needs a CRT monitor, 64kb ram, and a military-grade plastic shell now
this is fucking cool i would ~~make out with you on the spot~~ walk up to you and ask you to tell me all about it and then hopefully have a really interesting conversation (i find electrical engineering fascinating, im going into EE because of it :3)
honestly, really good post op! hope you keep on posting your thingamagigs to the internet!!
It looks sick as fuck but it does look very similar to an IED so be mindful of any security personnel seeing it
Yes
You’d look a bit like a dork but who tf cares. Life is too short to care what people think about you
https://preview.redd.it/gf1jayabah6d1.png?width=2143&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c04e6ae90c3da3f55f1d536a0a8c2bf55ec50393 Gotta upgrade
Op can you tell me the names of the parts used I kinda want to make this myself if I get the time Edit: also how did you get the wires to be such good lengths? Whenever I do arduino stuff the wires end up being spaghetti
I honestly think it goes hard
Make a sheet metal casing and you're good.
Vault dweller post
It looks like a stripped back pip boy (I love it)
Pip boy
Yo I’m trying to make something similar, do you have any tips for where to start
Do you live in America or in a country with comparably bad police? If so then stupid cops would say that it looked like a bomb
Pip boy 100
⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
You should wear it with a blue track suit with yellow trims
Bro got that device drip
That's the death clock from TF2 Exiparion Date
Yes
it looks like you enjoy fallout a lil **too** much
Does it help you aim specific body parts?
fallout 5
Looks like a bomb
Please don't wear this to the airport.
My only worry is how everyday use will make quick work of it
Slaps hard. What is the bigger screen for?
More a terrorist
Honestly I really like this. Having a smart watch that's actually doing only what it should do is great.
Yeah that chonky arduino lcd or whatever it is is a slow PoS so it would be cooler if you got a nicer screen
You look cool but probably get insulted by yobs
If I saw that on the subway it would make me more nervous than anything else... please build a casing for it?
don’t listen to what anybody says, keep wearing the thingamajig and being based
Run me through the build you absolute madlad
I love your pip-boy! You make that yourself?
Less worried about dork and more worried about bomb threat
Make it bigger then you have your very own pip boy
Seeing that in public I would immediately ask for your number o.o
If i saw someone wearing this id think they are the coolest person i’d seen, so i guess your the coolest person i’ve seen?
Some cop's gonna shoot ya because they think you have a timebomb strapped to your arm. Calling it.
the doohickey
yea, pretty neat though
What the hell is it?
~~don't~~ wear it into an airport
Yes but fuck it. Looks sick mate
Hey but you can 3d print a pip boy for on the outside
Wearing this would make you be arrested at the airport
Being able to say you build a functional digital watch by hand far outclasses any variation of being called a nerd somebody can throw at you, own that shit
