Programming a DSTIKE ESP8266 Smart Watch with Arduino IDE

In this video I'll demonstrate how you can reprogram a "DSTIKE Deauther Watch" (which I bought for just under £20 from Banggood) with custom code to create a wearable, portable Wi-Fi enabled device with built-in RGB LED, perfect for monitoring or controlling any other WiFi wireless devices!

The watch itself is based around an ESP8266 chip, powered by a 500mAH Li-Po battery. It also features a built-in WS2812B ("Neopixel") RGB LED, a secondary white LED, a 1.3" 128px x 64px OLED screen, an IPEX aerial connector, and a rotary button - quite a neat range of features to pack onto your wrist!

In the last part of the video, I'll demonstrate how I use the watch as a remote control to activate and de-activate the ESP32-powered Escape Room-in-a-box controller which I'm currently in the process of building.

A neat feature would be to have one player "assigned" to wear the watch with a limited range of the wifi. That person would need to be near certain puzzles in order to perform some function like if 2 people are working on separate puzzles away from each other, the puzzle would "freeze" or "overheat" where if the watch isn't brought back into range of that puzzle, the puzzle would reset. That would keep the watch wearer hopping! Mind you, that works better in an escape room venue rather than a escape BOX style. I like your way of thinking, very creative!

Heey! I'm giving you at least an 1920x1080 pixel big like for this video! You Sir saved tonns of time for me for my project! Finally I know how to handle all the components on my V2 Watch. Thank you again! Cheers!

Hello will you be uploading the sketch you made? I would love to reprogram mine to do something else.

Hi . I download another code my watch v1 . But I want to be like before. The link you provided below the video is not working . Can you send code link for deauther watch v1 ???

[Hakimfarhat]

I’ve downloaded the arduino ide but my v4 doesn’t show up
Am I doing something wrong?

[NicolasKaniak]

im trying to look for the rotary push-dial part for a project of mine, got any info on it?

[talalahmad]

plz make detailed video on dstike esp32 smart watch this video is very detailed .

[oZink-]

im on mac and cant find the tyupe of board in arduino i watched whole video plz help

[Vagubando]

what needs to be changed or added to the sketch in order to register two access points (that is, two WiFi networks)?
If one doesn't work, will it connect to the other by itself?

[kinggulu]

Can I browse the internet using Dstike?

[erdemgungor]

Is it possible to make an evil twin instead of using this device only for deauth attack? Does the device have this capacity?

[WasntYourFaultYouHaveToLetMeGo]

Can you create a tutorial for changing the button functionality with the source code?

[ismaelperegrina]

awesome video, could you share the code?

[superbenji]

Can you help me with some smartwatches for my escaperoom?

[Tcrheroo]

Is it illegal to travel with it in the airport or to carry around?

[JGUIJanuszGerszberg]

I see it is quite old video, but maybe someone could help me. I try it and I cannot upload sketch to the watch. I installed Arduino IDE in fully version incl usb drivers. Select the same board as on video, but error says: no device connectesd to serial port. How to fix ? In device meanager I see both COM3 COM4 linked as blueteooth serials.

[HugoRSCC]

How long can the watch run without having to recharge the battery?

[murugesh]

Great video bro
Does it shows the battery level?

[bakerswrld]

Do these watches deauth out of the box?

Checkout the ttgo esp32 watch. Much prettier and more powerful.
