Sir, I know a bit about electronics and I almost totally figured how to make my own smartwatch circuit. I trying to add a heart rate sensor on my setup (i.e created by referring ur setup has reference).but I have no idea how to flash the program to the controller, and on which language I should write the code, (is it like Arduino or esp32). I checked on samsonmarch's thread there was a lot of code file. how I could merge that and flash it on my controller.please guide me through this whole process from scratch.or please make a guide that will very helpful to all of us and it will help this project to reach a lot of electronics enthusiasts.

Adding a heartrate sensor would not be hard. I would not advice going on this route, as the DialogSemi is not easy to get started with and super limited in performance. The platform is just not really user friendly. I wrote a Getting started guide guide and is a good place to get everything running, but I can't guide more than this.

Thanks a lot sir for your quick response.And i have small request sir. Can you please refer a microcontroller with ble function which will be user friendly.That would help me a lot sir

I was looking at STM32F4 which seems more suitable for wearables. They have a better ecosystem and are better equipped to do graphics. However, designing a pcb for this is hard, as they don't have BLE integrated but require a separate ic. Maybe a STM32WB with the same LCD as this project uses.

For more entry level go for a ESP32 and basic OLED display to get started! Get a WROOM32 module and a 128x128 oled to get started with something very managable. Adding heartrate is easy on that platform, and there is a lot of documentation everywhere.

I want to get this project transferred to STM at some point, but even for me this is a huge step.

Thank you for your guidance sir. Sir first let me introduce myself, sir. I am Eswar reddy. I am studying 3rd-year B.Tech(Electrical and Electronics) in the Vellore institute of technology in India. You might not know it but it is one of the good institutes in India. I wanted to make a health care wearable as my capstone project. And I have done some projects with ESP-32, ESP-8266, and Arduino. I have done a project called Smart plant pot at my first year of b.tech Which senses a soil moisture level and the water level in the pot. That is used to pour water to plant that is planted on the pot and pour water to the soil using a water pump that is inbuilt on the pot if moisture decreases below a certain level and the user can go through all of these through an IoT platform called cayenne.in this project also I used Esp-32. ok sir I don't wanna bore you with the stuffs I did.you greatly rebuild the watch sir. that is really an amazing work.i will try to upgrade this watch with my knowledge sir. And if you have time please go through my smart plant pot presentation i attached the link for the for my presentation below. And I would feel very good if u go through it sir Please give me your Linkedin id sir.so I could follow on Linkedin and please accept my follow request. And once again thank you for your time and guidance sir
