- At long last, my journey in turning my old cell phone into a smartwatch is finally complete! In this final episode, I solder all the parts together to a perfboard, add a lithium-ion polymer battery and a charger, and 3D print a nice little case for it! In case you missed the first couple videos of this series, you can check them out in the Important Links section below.

It was smart to watch this video.
Ok. Now I get it. It took me 12 seconds. but now i get it.
i get it xd
get out
its *time* to stop. (i tried)
Nishka Arora But on the other hand, maybe you could try another pun, come on! tic toc!
Loved the whole process - very clean and well thought out presentation. Highlighting the code segments while you verbally discussed them - very nice. So many folks make their presentations way too long. Your's is very well done. Two thumbs up.
that turned out to be an awesome looking device... and you just motivated me to make one for myself.... I'll post a video when I'm done. 😃
That would be sweet! Good luck!
make a tinkernut version of google glass
That would be awesome
And super difficult too. But maybe it could be possible?
YES
At last, the Apple watch has a decent competitor.
Lol
rekt :D
ahaahaahahaha
The Moto 360 2nd Generation destroys the Apple Watch any day lol
@@toesnub9676 for 11$? where!
Your channel is amazing! Love the awesome videos you always share. keep up the great work!
You are insanely amazing man. Your projects inspire me to get back to tinkering with stuff again, I miss those times.
me too, but I'm sixteen so no again
Sixteen dude. Unless you have to work already, or are killing yourself by studyibg (which you shouldn't do) and not living your life a little bit, you should have a LOT of time to do everything. I wish I had 16 again (25 now), so much free time, omg so good.
Happy to see this project finished!! Cool series of videos. Thanks!
Marvelous ! You're a genius, all your videos are awesome!
Best channel on TH-cam.
best TH-cam channel I have subbed to in a long time
Ordered a Nokia 1100.. I really want to try this and configure the watch with a few more things. Defiantly motivated thanks to you :)
Great Engineering and Passion!
this project is very cool.. pretty impressive innovation..
Hi Tinkernut! I really enjoy your videos and they inspire me quite a lot! Keep up with the content! One day Hopefully I'll do some of your projects!
Now, make a smartphone from an old cell phone.
😂 😂 😂
+Qasim Mustafa Ali It's a reference to Tinkernut's mistake, but it would be fun to see 😃
DziugasJ Agree

Make a old phone from my old phone
I love this project and your Channel
Tinkernut i've been your biggest fun of all, since everything you make it possible anything that i searched you have a tutorials ahah.
Wow! What a mind job!
I love that intro when you talk to the phone :D
wonderful series and i love the way you present the videos.. keep the good work going
was waiting for this third part.
Thank You for the re-purpose inspiration.
You're a great maker!
This is fantastic !
Awesome dude, definitely gonna give this one a go, thanks
wow dude..this is so cool! awesome project
You are a GENIUS !
Awesome series
Also just desolder the arduino power LED and Bluetooth LED. It will save a bit of space and a bit of power.
Great work again
awesome project
you are the new developer of nokia 2016, your ideas are very good :D (Y). Regards from Mexico (sorry for my bad english :( :p)
+Tinkernut, your videos are great. I've following them for two years now, and everything from the content to the editing is just perfect. I also really enjoy the background music you use for your videos!
nice videos tink u really make awesome stuff and thanks for ur time
just awesome!
Would making a pitboy interest you as a project? I assume it's similar to this but you'd be able to use a bigger battery etc to fill up the pitboy housing
I'll definitely try at some point!
You mean pip boy?
+Tinkernut we can haz pipboy? Rly?! F(ck yah bro!
Yesss auto-correct isn't fallout savvy it seems
You should convert an old dumbphone into a smartphone! Using the old phone case and even the keyboard and navigation buttons. Cant wait to see a 3310 with bluetooth and even mp3 support lol
JulianSauco making real smart watch
Really impressive job. I share your same 3 principles.
Waiting Soo Much For This Part...
cool project! i expect for more arduino projects
I really enjoyed that.
now that the new ESP32 is out , you can make one with that, eliminate the arduino and gain wifi+BT.
A portable mini computer would be fun to make
Good work. Totally beard!
Last time i was this early, Marvel was good
Congrats 🎊🎉
You are the man I probably wont build one but I can Now make A Android app so that's kool and I just wanted to say that I been watching since The Audio Controlled lights keep it up man
wth this is so cool omg
this makes me appreciate my iphone se a whole lot more
awesome sir!I'm Ur fan...I appreciate Ur work
Have you considered making it free-form built into the case?
I would like to see you printing PCBs and making a single board smartwatch.
If I ever update this project, I'll definitely do that. I wanted to do it for this one, but ran out of time.
I want to try this with just a color LCD instead, what would the difference be code wise?
Do you like my robot? *A Giant Robot walks up to Tinkernut*
I'm trying to think of a nice way to say "Ew Pepe" but I can't.
Creative ideea!!
like!!
You just helped me build a smartwatch
Try making google glass next!
Cool I was thinking about making my own
genius .. congrats! 👍
it would be awesome if I could make some sort of pip boy like smart wach
Awesome!! Can you explain how to do a drone using a raspberry? Thanks.
Good simple technique. Could you rebuild and reupload it using no tapes, and a wrist band?
And, could you turn an old nokia cellphone to a smartwatch?
Good stuff.
man, you are cool, i love your work and i'd love to see you on your next video "How to make a 3d printer" and this time to be not from old cd rom, but from real NEMA motors and staff like that.
you are a genius¡¡¡
Woah man you nailed it, it is so cool aand btw how much did it cost to make it cuz i am into making it :D
hey buddy!! I am a great follower of yours..I have watched all your videos those are awesome....I always wanted to make my own smart watch after seeing your video finally I made one like you...So thank you very for these videos on smart watch ...
You said in this video that you will make menus and simple games in this smart watch...So please make a video on it.....I want to put an alarm function; simple games; menus ; reminders etc.....
So please plz plz make a video on it....It would be very helpful for me....
I want to make a complete smart watch having all functions.....
Hope you reply soon.
ideas to repurpose a old crt tv is what I would like to watch..! thank you..
Even re-purposing a old game console would do..thank you again
Is the Arduino 3.3v or 5v? Because, 3.7 volts from the battery can not fully power a 5v one, and it can damage the 3.3v one!
I've been designing my own SmartWatch for a couple of months now, and choosing the battery has always been a pain for me. I have considered to use CR2025s instead of Li-Po, but they wouldn't give enough juice, and also are unfortunately not rechargeable.
I also don't want to use a step-up DC to DC module to convert 3.7v to 5v, it would be very inefficient to do so.
Where (generally speaking) did you go to find the schematics of the phone?
i tried the notifications with oled display but it doesnt work for me.
i want to know how you have developed the app .please help me out .
thanks
why in gods name did you never show the "side" of the watch
I'll show it in the comments show and you'll see exactly why I didn't show it in this video.
what if you spread out the components into the wrist strap
Tinkernut hey I'm building this but using an OLED ssd1306 spi and its not working, if you can please help me out this is a project worth a grade for me and I cannot figure out whats going wrong I can explain further if I can contact you
plz make a video for same series how to make smartwatch with old mobile phone , how to add memory card , and how to add 2 Camera( front and back both ) ....plz it's very helpful for us....
thank U.....
Usernaming in case u still haven't got it working, what's the problem?
can't stop wondering if there's a way to slave an old phone to a smartphone? I'm often working with paint, chemicals, glues, dirty stuff. If I could keep my smartphone nearby and use the old rugged flip phone as a smartwatch as is (it's a Tundra or Barrage or something that has survived several feet of water, paint buckets, drops from 2nd floor). Can think of lots of uses for slaving one phone to another. Is this worth considering?
And yes, I do use bluetooth headphones, doesn't help for texts though.
hi please consider designing a PCB. It will shrink it much more
Considered it, but didn't have enough time/resources to fabricate one.
+Tinkernut can we fly a drone again?
please put this in the comment show
copy this into notepad

I can work on the basics, but I'm using a PCD8544 LCD which is for Nokia 5510/3310. Also, while you said you aren't very fond of SMD soldering, I think using bigger pads can solve many problems.
ypu are genius freind!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
When this nice little watch will be available on amazon?
YOU SHOUDNL'T HAVE DONE THAT !
You didnt change the current limit resistor on the lithium charger module. It will charge the small 150mah battery at 1A !
The board was probably already set up to charge at a lower current.
{MLP} Rainbow Dash No, it always 1A per defaut.
JS7457 that board can be set for one amp if the jumper is soldered.
{MLP} Rainbow Dash no, its a resistor. By defaut the resistor is set to 1K = 1A.
See TP4056 datasheet.
JS7457 perhaps I saw a different board, idk. Some have the jumper, others not.
You could have put the battery as part of the band. Then ran the wire to the watch. This would make your design smaller. Paint it black or whatever you want to match with band.
real nice
Nice work !
p.s. your links on this video are gone - as in not there... (did you forget to put them ?)
Approximately how much time did the battery last ??
2:32 The bluetooth module that you choosed has the ability to send the code to the Arduino and program it wirelessly. That's what I've used in my project, at least. It's very irritating to connect the Arduino with WIRES to program them!
You could use an ESP module instead of an arduino and then you have wifi. The ESP is arduino compatible. I don't know if you could program it using its wifi though. I only read about it.
+kedwa30 +1, But sadly, it's one of the problems with the ESP. I can think of a way or two to make it work, but it still lacks Arduino's famous bootloader.
Other than that, I wouldn't recommend Wi-Fi particulary for this project. The watch couldn't operate directly with the phone if the phone is connected to internet (unless ESP connects to the same router which will be headache).
Most wearable smart gadgets already work with bluetooth, and leave room for Wi-Fi so it can be used in more important tasks (or more bandwidth hungry, like file transferring).
My personal choice would be low power Bluetooth compatible, like Bluetooth v4.0 or BLE. There are several modules available and ready to use as we speak, like TAH.io and BLEduino.cc which looks really promising.
The BLE specs were designed with continuous usage at mind, something which is a necessity for an Smart Watch project in my opinion.
Wait, you soldered the Lithium cell directly to the Arduino? No voltage regulation whatsoever? I thought Lithium cells have voltages from 2,7V-4,2V?
No, i didn't solder the lithium cell directly to the Arduino. I soldered it to the charging board, which also serves as a regulator/surge protector. I then soldered the Arduino to the outputs of the charging board.
Hey the reason i watched your video was to gain more knowledge on how lcd screens work, now with that said i really wanted to reuse an android screen from a phone that is out of service but the screen is in - tack
tricopter or quadcopter or color screen smartwatch project?
Could you please make a series on Android Studio tutorials for beginners?
ummphh bcuz your videos are good i will not skip the ads for you to earn keep you make good videos.. .. tnx for making good videos.
hears a good idea how to fix a rairo that frequently goes to stack
Now when you got the basics, how about a PipBoy?
What would he call his version? TinkerPip?
YES! That's awesome :D

you have gone above and beyond, goodBEan
Tinkernut
Just be sure to double check the whole "royalty free" thing. Im not a youtuber
Well done 'NERD BRO '
Can you play minesweeper at 60 fps on it?
Bro tinker I know now that this works but the fact is that I want to use your idea of making this smart watch for school project but I don't know how to briefly explain this so can you give me some tips please bro... btw it was really awesome well anyways thanks in advance
Can I use a color screen from my Nokia C5-00? Can we use fingerprints sensor from laptop unlock the home's door?
A W E S O M E ! ! !
Who made it?
Tinkernet , What Video Editor Or Video Maker Do You Use ?
Where did you get the battery and the charging module???
Are you like a specialist in these kinda stuff or an electronic engineer ? I mean srsly i'm kinda mindblown with what you come up with. anyways awesome playlist bro, i'd love to watch more of these videos :-)
Thanks for the compliment! I probably should've gone into engineering, but I went into Management Information Systems instead. I was into coding and databases back then.
+Tinkernut oh ok thanks for the info.
You're awesome
