Clone of the DS1216 SmartWatch socket with external/replaceable battery
This is a PCB which mimics the original DS1216 module. The battery is external and can be connectorized.
This provides a viable path for products which use the SmartWatch to continue to operate for decades to come.
Ideally, the DS1216 IC is salvaged from an existing smartwatch and resoldered onto the new PCB. A new crystal,
socket, and header are needed to complete the assembly. A connector can be used for the battery, or it may be
hard-wired to the connector pads.
Currently, only the "E" and "C" SmartWatch modules are supported here. Other versions may come later.
