This clock displays the time in nixie-inspired numerals and works on both Bangle versions (1 and 2). It uses a generic
|
|
|
|
|
coordinate system (0 <= width < 1) and has helper functions to use inline.

The app makes use of a module called "m_vatch" which manages all the timers, and makes calls to functions in the 'main' file
|
|
|
|
|
to manage drawing the background, time, and any data like sensor info, step counters, battery, etc. The idea is that it is
|
|
|
|
|
reusable if you write many watch apps... you just need to implement functions to draw the background (called on start, and every
|
|
|
|
|
time the 'mode' changes (regular and night mode), the time (which gets a call every second), and the data (also every second,
|
|
|
|
|
except not in night mode)).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Night mode is a mode that can be set manually or automatically, allowing the watch code to adjust colors and detail. Mainly,
|
|
|
|
|
used as a night clock, you can draw no background, and use dim colors for your digits. If set to auto, the accelerometer is used so
|
|
|
|
|
when the watch is placed on its side, it switches to night mode (your watch may need a tweak... and Bangle 2 is a different story!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It also handles step counting so that it's stored on a daily
|
|
|
|
|
basis - survives a system reset, zeroes when the date changes and keeps a record in a history file by day.
