Splitting ESP32-Smart-Watch repository #1

Hi,

This is a great project you just did. I'd like to use the Android app and smartwatch firmware on my ESP32-based smartwatch. I guess the Android app and firmware can be made device independant (supporting different types of displays & accelerometers).

It would be great if you could split up (and remove old files) into 3 repositories: 1) Android app 2) Smartwatch ESP32 firmware 3) Your hardware

I am convinced, that this project can become widely used.

Thanks for the feedback, I do have plans to split the android app to its own repository since I know it could be of use to others working on similar projects. Before I do that however I want to do some clean up of the code and put together a better implementation of BLE communication on the ESP32 side of things so I can provide some example sketches and generally polish up the app as a communication method to the ESP32.

As for the hardware and firmware I don't really have any plans to split them up since they're essentially two parts of the same whole. At some point in the future I do plan to make the smartwatch firmware compatible with the T-Watch-2020 since it's a popular ESP32 based device that's mostly compatible with this project. In the process of that the code will become easier to move between platforms since the majority of the hardware interfacing will be functionalized.

The android companion app has now been forked to a new repo along with an example sketch for anyone who wants to use it with the ESP32 https://github.com/Bellafaire/Android-Companion-App-For-BLE-Devices
