I modified the firmware to remove Imperial units and 12 hour clock (which I never want) and to choose my own selection of screens (I added the tally, accelerometer and light sensor screens).The complete sequence of commands needed to build the firmware was: brew install --cask gcc-arm-embeddedgit clone https://github.com/joeycastillo/second-movementcd second-movementgit submodule update --init --recursivemake BOARD=sensorwatch_pro DISPLAY=custom And then to upload to the watch you connect the micro USB, click the tiny switch on the back twice very rapidly and a volume called WATCHBOOT appears on your machine.
