Check Out How A Smartwatch Built Out Of A Nokia 1100 By A Hacker.
Ever wanted to make a smartwatch from you old phone? But history has been made you can take yours to an higher ground like using an IPhone 7.lolz
A couple of resistors, an Arduino micro-controller board, a Bluetooth module, a few lines of code, and a Nokia 1100 screen and vibrating motor were all that a hacker needed to build a smartwatch. This is just amazing making a smartwatch from a old Nokia phone
The Nokia 1100 may be outdated, but Daniel Davis found a way to put it into use again. What’s surprising about his invention wasn’t really the discovery of a Nokia 1100 in 2016, though there’s that as well. It’s the fact that his idea of a smartwatch needed only the phone’s small screen and motor to run.
He also demonstrated his invention which is in three video on YouTube, how to create the wearable using an Arduino board coupled with resistors to get the Nokia 1100 screen running. Then, he used a Bluetooth module to connect the smartwatch to a Samsung smartphone and code to push text/call notifications and date and time to the contraption.
Davis squeezed all those components into a 3D printed case powered by a rechargeable 3.7-volt battery. And he admitted it was a bit of a challenge. If he should ever do it again, he says he might prefer a thinner battery and a complete circuit board to build a much thinner, less clunky smartwatch.
