What?

A Pebble smartwatch app that displays various cable pinout diagrams. Perfect for those times you find yourself 30ft up a ladder tipping cables!

Unfortunately this is only designed to work on the basalt platform as it relies heavily on colored assets. While it does run on Aplite and up, it's not exactly functional in black & white.

Why this specifically?

Really I just don't want to think about what the various cable pinouts are for the various times I find myself doing these sorts of things. Of all the things I could keep active in my head, this just isn't one of them. Fortunately, I've had my pebble by my side for around 10 years now and at this point I think it's safe to say, this is the best and safest reference for this sort of information!

Currently the app only supports RJ45 pinouts, this was a deliberate scoping decision so that the appl could be completed during the 2025 Rebble Hackathon. I'll probably add more cable types later though!

Attributions

All graphical resources were designed and contributed by Mio. This app wouldn't look half as good, or be nearly as functional without their help, and it is sincerely appreciated!!

Building the app

This assumes you have a working pebble sdk, the old 2.7 one available in the rebble hackathon VM. There is nothing new or interesting here, yet! Hopefully new dev tools will mean new instructions!

Build:

pebble build

Test:

pebble install --emulator basalt

Install:

pebble install --phone $ip.addr.of.phone
