TimeSquare + Bluetooth
Is it possible to add Bluetooth (Low Energy) to TimeSquare? I'd like to turn it into a smart watch of sorts where I can push messages from my phone to the watch, but I'm not sure if it's possible or where/how I'd have to go about it.

Not possible. All of the GPIO pins are used. There's no place to attach the BLE.

Dang. Well as a suggestion could we see this as a future project/product? Because I'd buy the hell out of it :Padafruit_support_rick wrote:Not possible. All of the GPIO pins are used. There's no place to attach the BLE.

Yes. And I think Adafruit also sells a Bluetooth-to-serial-type breakout. I don't think it's compatible with telephones, but I suspect that you could probably figure out a way to push messages from a computer to the watch.Robot_Madness wrote:Isn't the FTDI port a Serial Port
