Slowly moving to the G6

 Finally Picked up a few G6's.  Still on the G4 until next year, but I had a chance to get an ESP32 to talk to the thing.  So, hopefully, when I finally have to downgrade, I can at least keep the functionality I want.

New device, ESP32 TinyPico, total size 1 3/4 square and about the thickness of a cell phone, perfect.  Battery life was around 17 hours, it's a power hog.  Nice feature is the pico has onboard lipo management ie. charging.

New Gadgets

 


Trying out the Bangle and the Puck.  Both support BLE, so might be able to Pair with a G6.

We will soon find out.  Bangle is really big, also need to see what the battery life is.  The Puck could replace the custom device I carry around, it's slightly smaller, but I'd be burning up Cr2032's.  I could live with 1 a week for the size improvement.  In either case, these would replace a cellphone.
