inPulse Programmers Guide

This guide is for programmers only. Please use the Quickstart to use inPulse with your smartphone.

inPulse is the perfect hacker accessory - a fully programmable wireless smartwatch. inPulse allows you to receive real-time data on your wrist.

inPulse can be used in two distinct ways.

      • A programmable display on your wrist (using our SDK and/or simulator)

      • An alerting platform, connected to your smartphone (Android, Blackberry, Jailbroken iPhone) or PC (Mac OS X, Windows, Ubuntu).

Programmable Display on Your Wrist

Use our SDK to get pixel-level control of the screen and quickly process wireless messages. You can store your own fonts and images on the watch and use them in your app. Crazy watch faces, real-time server stats, single-button games, or porting Doom (already done!), your imagination is the limit! Check out our example code to get started.

Which language?

The watch-side code is written in C, calling high level graphics, communication, and device APIs. The PC-side examples are written in Python. The sample Android and Blackberry apps are written in Java.

Alerting Platform

You can load a standard firmware image on your watch and use it purely as an alerting device. It can be used out of the box by Blackberry users and Android users. Get started with the Quickstart. If you run a simple python script on your computer, you can send message to your wrist! One example is the PingStat app.
