BLE tag scanner- eucWatch

[enaon]

this is about a scanner I made for the cats, I wanted to know which cat went to which toilet, but then I got greedy, and made it a project on it's own.

It can scan Google tags, itags from aliexpress, custom tags made using the nice!nano and espruino. Or it can scan for all BLE devices. As a scanner it is quite complete and has some nice features, I will maybe ist them in more detail later.

But the main reason I am uploading it, is for the eucWatch UI. It is not really ready yet, but if one cares to test, it is usable. If @gfwilliams would like to have a look, just for the fun, I would apreciate a feedback.

some photos of the custom tags making off:

so, the repo is here:

https://github.com/enaon/iCat

and it works for the nice!nano, the magic3, and of course the banglejs2

if one wants to test, connect the bangle to the loader, and do an install all. Nothing on the bange will be erased, everything ew related will start with "ew" on the filesystem, and everything is within the ew object on the espruino. There are no conflicts. The eucWtch will appear as a clock on the bangle, but it is not a clock, one can think of it as a dual boot system.

I will not give instructions as to how to use it, because I think it is easy, the only thing that is important it the swipe up action. It will call a bar, on every face, like so:

the left icon, is the watch settings, the middle one is the return to bangle launcher, the right one is context aware settings, it will contain the settings related to the face the bar was called from.

it will only work ok if the dark theme is selected on the bangle.

there is also a control webapp on the repo (deepseek):

That's great! But... 39 cats? They're not all yours surely?

Out of interest, why are you making your own trackers rather than using off the shelf ones? I would have thought pre-made ones might be smaller?

As you're making your own tags, I wonder whether you could get them to log the proximity of other tags they find, and maybe you could get some idea where they've been? Or can you get enough info from the Apple network?

well, they are not really mine, and some are dead already, the red ones on the controll webapp. I just wanted a way to tell them apart, the black ones especially, lool the same :)

I have tried a lot of tags, the nano when using coded is the best there is, in real life it makes the difference between toy and tool.

The main reason I am using the nano, is because I use the cats to locate other cats, I have a "john wick" style "wanted" system on the making, I will update it when it is ready.

but all this s too specialized to be of interest to anybody I think, the UI on the other hand has some interesting ideas I think, if you get some time, please test it.
