C64 Fitness Watch #WearableWednesday « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!
What’s a C64 watch you ask? Well, it’s Nick Bild’s C64-themed smartwatch that syncs with your Commodore 64! And it’s awesome. Check out the write up on Hackster.io:
I previously built the C64 Watch, which is a Commodore 64-themed Lilygo T-Watch 2020 with an onboard BASIC interpreter. But for a smartwatch to be really useful, it needs to be able to sync with a computer. Sure, I could easily sync it with a modern computer, but I thought it would be way more fun to come up with a way to wirelessly sync with an actual Commodore 64 computer.
Every Wednesday is Wearable Wednesday here at Adafruit! We’re bringing you the blinkiest, most fashionable, innovative, and useful wearables from around the web and in our own original projects featuring our wearable Arduino-compatible platform, FLORA. Be sure to post up your wearables projects in the forums or send us a link and you might be featured here on Wearable Wednesday!
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound.
