Re: TTGO T-WATCH-2020

I am fluent in C and arduino is nice.. but micropython has its place for prototyping. as the documentation for the ttgo watch is rather sparse there is reverse engineering. to be able to quickly try out a different thing without going to the compile & upload cycle. also today we often want things wi...
