Description
Touch Test ā Watch Hardware Diagnostic
A menu-first hardware diagnostic suite for your Pebble: 16 self-contained
tests covering touch, buttons, motion, compass, heart rate, health, ambient
light, haptics, sound, backlight, Bluetooth, battery, display, and device
identity ā fast, no-fuss, and event-driven so it won't touch your battery.
Open the Diagnostics menu and tap or scroll to any test. SELECT opens it;
BACK returns to the menu from any test, and BACK again from the menu leaves
the app; holding BACK exits from anywhere.
Sixteen diagnostics on Pebble Time 2, fourteen on Pebble Round 2:
⢠Touch ā tap anywhere and a red marker drops exactly where the watch
registered your touch, with the raw x, y coordinate over a reference grid
and crosshairs. The quickest way to check whether your touchscreen is
aligned.
⢠Zones ā sweep your finger across the whole screen; each zone turns green
until every one has registered ("ALL ZONES OK"), so you can find dead
spots. SELECT resets and runs it again.
⢠Buttons ā press and hold BACK, UP, SELECT, or DOWN and watch the matching
on-screen button light up, with a sustained "held" state while you keep
holding.
⢠Motion ā a live tilt bubble-level, per-axis X / Y / Z readouts, and a
"SHAKE!" flash, driven by the accelerometer.
⢠Compass ā a live needle and heading, plus a calibration view with a
16-sector heading-coverage ring and guidance for getting a clean fix.
⢠Heart Rate ā filtered and raw BPM, a pulsing heart glyph, and a scrolling
trace of recent samples.
⢠Health ā steps, distance walked, active time, calories, sleep, and your
current detected activity.
⢠Haptics ā six vibration patterns, with a waveform preview so you see the
pattern before you feel it. SELECT plays the next one.
⢠Touch Haptics ā tap the screen and feel it buzz where you touched. A tap in
the top half gives a short pulse, one in the bottom half a long one, with a
crosshair marking the spot and a running pulse count ā so you can check both
that the vibration motor responds and that the watch registers your touch
where you actually put your finger.
⢠Piano (Pebble Time 2 only) ā a one-octave touch keyboard with octave
shift, waveform selection, and a 3-voice chord test.
⢠Backlight (Pebble Time 2 only) ā a color wheel; touch it to tint the RGB
backlight LED to any color, with a live hex readout.
⢠Bluetooth ā live phone-app and PebbleKit connection status, a dropped-link
counter for each, and a link-latency ping to your phone.
⢠Battery ā charge percentage as a filled ring, plus charging and plugged
indicators.
⢠Display ā full-screen test patterns (color bars, gray ramp, solid colors,
checkerboard, grid, edge-alignment frame) for spotting dead or stuck
pixels. SELECT cycles the patterns.
⢠Device Info ā model, color, firmware version, resolution, free memory,
and the detected hardware capability list ā the first screen to check
what your watch claims to be.
Built for Pebble Time 2 (emery) and Pebble Round 2 (gabbro) ā the Pebble
models with a touchscreen. Lightweight and entirely event-driven: nothing
polls in the background, so it won't drain your battery.- DeveloperJaybon
