How to build Vibe Watch firmware and pair it with a Mac with Vibewatch

Compile the open-source firmware for the StopWatch, flash it, and pair the device over Bluetooth to your Mac.

Who it is forA developer with an M5Stack StopWatch who wants to start using Vibe Watch with their AI coding host on macOS.

The problemThe StopWatch ships without this firmware, so it cannot act as an AI coding controller until it is built, flashed, and paired.

The outcomeThe StopWatch runs Vibe Watch firmware and appears as a paired Bluetooth device named Vibe Watch with a slot number.

What you need first

  • M5Stack StopWatch
  • A macOS computer with Bluetooth
  • PlatformIO Core installed
  • A USB connection between the StopWatch and the computer for upload

Steps

  1. Install PlatformIO Core by following the official installation guide linked in the README.
  2. Run git clone https://github.com/GOROman/vibewatch.git and then cd vibewatch.
  3. Run python3 -m platformio run -e m5stack-stopwatch to build the firmware.
  4. Connect the StopWatch by USB and run python3 -m platformio run -e m5stack-stopwatch --target upload.
  5. On the watch, open Settings, select one of the three device slots, tap PAIR, then connect to Vibe Watch #n from macOS Bluetooth settings.

Prompt for your agent

Using the GOROman/vibewatch repo, run the PlatformIO build for the m5stack-stopwatch environment in <project folder> and report the final build status. Verify that the output ends with a success line and no errors before reporting.

Caveat. The README describes the setup only for macOS Bluetooth settings, so other operating systems are not covered by the documented pairing steps.
