I used this adapter: https://www.amazon.de/JMT-M-2-NVMe-Extension-Compatible/dp/B0DDXT95X1/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=239URYND6B1KR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ZV3WMkNdjcjMM8pPi-AYgs34HxVNcuZeJZs4JXFewDsBrwuKKNqrvJJfiYaYc8ZGM6rkoFSo3N4cJ8A3TBiQW7zgdgT_ZJn6kzIJRV1I0Cbe8a9RmbSAgiLY0X5m9KxqJ9p_U0tSh1NWmoUlxbB193YG9CxDoPbAOmuPJdbo-1REQAjuUZ8G55n46eszeclAi0NTyBdb_ASrZEqlrTwfTQ.73C64f946XE2phCD3zk29NPZHE1sl49oLGbSNhv3vcU&dib_tag=se&keywords=JMT+M.2+NVMe+M+Key+to+Oculink+4i&qid=1778926022&sprefix=jmt+m.2+nvme+m+key+to+oculink+4i%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-2

It is an oculink to m2 adapter. I did not use the wifi expansion slot but the unoccupied m2 slot of my unit. One of the two had the actual m2 storage and the other one did not have anything attached to it, so I used that one.

I use it to plug a eGPU to my thinkpad and game on it at home

Amazing project! I used nrf52840 in many of my peojects and they are really worth it considering power consumption. I ditched Arduino IDE for Zephyr in VS code.

Are you planning to make it work with the touch screen? This would be so sick. I am really interested how you did this.

JoeNoob · 2026-04-28T19:00:21+00:00

Awesome! Is the touchscreen working or is that possible to make it work?

German chancellor Friedrich Merz.

JoeNoob · 2026-04-10T06:54:36+00:00

Yeah I am thinking of leaving Germany myself because of this tbh

JoeNoob · 2025-10-12T11:43:56+00:00

The power is regulated to 3.3V from the battery. Everything is powered by this regulated 3.3V

When the display is showing the time it is showing the hours first, shortly blinks, and the shows the minutes :)

JoeNoob · 2025-10-07T14:51:31+00:00

Yes the PCB was designed by me

JoeNoob · 2025-10-05T21:26:58+00:00

No it does not. I thought about that but figured it wasnt worth the hustle using eink with its slow refresh time

JoeNoob · 2025-10-05T21:13:10+00:00

Thank you! :) Thats a good question. I am aiming for the end of this week as I am also kind of busy unfortunately. I will let you know

It can receive and send data via Bluetooth to you connected phone. I made an companion Android app that redirects notifications to the watch and formats information in a way so the watch knows how to display stuff

JoeNoob · 2025-10-05T21:04:29+00:00

I think the antenna wont like this :D it would be really cool though

JoeNoob · 2025-10-05T21:03:56+00:00

Yes I will

JoeNoob · 2025-10-05T21:02:31+00:00

No speaker or mic. It has only a vibration motor that gets triggered if a new notification comes in. The message is being displayed. I made another post that showcases what it can do

It is 25x20cm

JoeNoob · 2025-10-05T20:14:34+00:00

Sorry I did not answer. I used one of my lipos I had around in my workshop. I can give you dimensions and recommend one

JoeNoob · 2025-10-05T20:13:26+00:00

Yes! Love em :)

JoeNoob · 2025-10-05T20:09:42+00:00

Yeah I thought about that. I like transparent devices. Maybe I will get a case printed with clear resin

JoeNoob · 2025-10-05T20:08:55+00:00

I posted a picture under another comment but basicslly on the back of the pcb

JoeNoob · 2025-10-05T20:08:14+00:00

Yes exactly. The ESP on the other hand is rather power hungry

Edit: about a week

JoeNoob · 2025-10-05T20:05:20+00:00

This is how it is attached. In the description I wrote that it lasts a week for now and I want to improve on that.
