Creating clock faces for dummies

[LDB415]

I'd like to create a custom clock face to show specific things I most want shown. I've followed and tried a few things but no luck. Is there a "for dummies" guide/text that takes it step by step in the simplest and most complete way?

Hi @LDB415 - I’m moving your post to the developers’ forum where you may be better able to find help.

I am going to create a clockface tutorial project with lots of comments to try to help beginners soon. 

It may be a bit before it is done though. So before that, you can find pretty much anything you need to know by simply searching it. 

For example, to figure out how to add some stats to your clockface, you could search "Fitbit development steps"

This is a similar search to what I do when I need to find something.

Back in time when I moved my very first steps in Fitbit OS coding I made this super simple clockface to help me understanding the basis.

Hi @LDB415,

I'm in the same boat, just got my Versa 3 yesterday, so nice to see it for real rather than on the simulator!!

I've found looking at some of the example clock faces at https://github.com/Fitbit/ossapps helps quite a bit.

The example from Giampaolo Frello is a nice one to see how got get different bits of data (I needed to change a couple of things (.gui to .view & a widgets.def) to get it to work on the Versa 3).

This lovely example https://github.com/jensoncrawford/fitbit-multi-dial-chronometer has versions for SDK4.2 & 5 which is how I deduced the .view .def stuff in resources)

My main struggle right now is getting my head around the svg stuff.

Enjoy the adventure

Pete
