This file holds every use case of this repo. Each one starts with a "## " heading and ends with its URL. - Build Vibe Watch firmware and pair it with a Mac: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/goroman-vibewatch/build-and-pair-vibe-watch/ - Approve or reject agent actions with physical buttons: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/goroman-vibewatch/approve-or-reject-agent-decisions-on-wrist/ - Watch six parallel agent sessions at a glance: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/goroman-vibewatch/glance-at-six-parallel-agent-sessions/ - Dictate the next prompt with hold-to-talk on the watch: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/goroman-vibewatch/speak-prompts-with-push-to-talk/ - Convert the StopWatch into a wrist-worn controller: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/goroman-vibewatch/wrist-mount-stopwatch-for-mobile-use/ ## How to build Vibe Watch firmware and pair it with a Mac with Vibewatch Repo: [GOROman/vibewatch](https://github.com/GOROman/vibewatch) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 60 minutes | Basis: From the README Compile the open-source firmware for the StopWatch, flash it, and pair the device over Bluetooth to your Mac. **Who it is for:** A developer with an M5Stack StopWatch who wants to start using Vibe Watch with their AI coding host on macOS. **The problem:** The StopWatch ships without this firmware, so it cannot act as an AI coding controller until it is built, flashed, and paired. **The outcome:** The StopWatch runs Vibe Watch firmware and appears as a paired Bluetooth device named Vibe Watch with a slot number. ### 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 to paste into your agent ```text Using the GOROman/vibewatch repo, run the PlatformIO build for the m5stack-stopwatch environment in 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.

Pair the StopWatch with the Mac as described in the build and pair steps. 2. Press both hardware buttons together to enter the Action layer. 3. Press the blue right button for OK to approve, or the orange left button for NG to reject. 4. Listen for the rising square-wave phrase for OK or the falling phrase for NG and feel the haptic response to confirm the choice. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the GOROman/vibewatch repo as the wrist controller, confirm the pending agent approval in by pressing OK on the watch. Report whether the agent continued to its next step. Verify the agent output shows the approval was received. ``` ### Caveat The README does not say which AI agents receive OK or NG presses, so confirm your agent host accepts this input before relying on it.

Pair the StopWatch with the Mac and confirm the watch shows the Agent layer. 2. Look at the six agent indicators around the round screen to read each session's state. 3. Move the selection ring to the agent you want by using the touchscreen or buttons. 4. Feel the adjustable state-change haptics to notice updates without looking at the screen. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the GOROman/vibewatch repo, check that the six agent indicators on the watch reflect the state of sessions. Report which session is selected and its visible state. Verify the reported states match the sessions shown in the host app. ``` ### Caveat The README describes six agent slots but does not explain how the host sends each agent state, so set up the host side separately before expecting live updates.

Pair the StopWatch with the Mac as described in the build and pair steps. 2. Press both hardware buttons to enter the Action layer. 3. Press and hold the center microphone control to talk. 4. Speak the prompt, then release the microphone to finish the request. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the GOROman/vibewatch repo, send a spoken prompt from the watch to the assistant by holding the center microphone while saying . Report the text the assistant received. Verify the assistant response matches the spoken request. ``` ### Caveat The README mentions voice input and push-to-talk but does not describe speech recognition or which assistant receives the audio, so test one spoken prompt before relying on it.

Remove the plastic mount from the device and strap, then use flush cutters or small nippers to cut away the raised M5Stick retaining hooks a little at a time. 2. Trim burrs and sharp edges until the mount has a flat bonding surface, then clean and fully dry both surfaces. 3. Cut high-strength double-sided tape to fit inside the mount footprint, keeping buttons, connectors, and openings clear. 4. Center the mount on the back of the StopWatch, press firmly, and let the adhesive reach its specified bond strength. 5. Refit the nylon strap and perform a firm pull test before wearing the device. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the GOROman/vibewatch repo's wrist-mount steps, list the tools and parts needed to convert an M5Stack StopWatch into a wrist-worn controller. Report the checklist in order. Verify that every step includes the instruction to pull-test the mount before wearing. ``` ### Caveat The conversion requires cutting plastic and bonding the mount with adhesive, and the README asks for eye protection and a firm pull test before wearing.
