In this video I'll demonstrate how you can reprogram a "DSTIKE Deauther Watch" (which I bought for just under £20 from Banggood) with custom code to create a wearable, portable WiFi enabled device with builtin RGB LED, perfect for monitoring or controlling any other WiFi wireless devices!

Product link is https://www.banggood.com/custlink/vvm...

The watch itself is based around an ESP8266 chip, powered by a 500mAH LiPo battery. It also features a builtin WS2812B ("Neopixel") RGB LED, a secondary white LED, a 1.3" 128px x 64px OLED screen, an IPEX aerial connector, and a rotary button quite a neat range of features to pack onto your wrist!

It comes with preinstalled "Deauth" software, but you can replace this by uploading any new code you want using the Arduino IDE, together with some common libraries such as FastLED (http://fastled.io/) and lcdgfx (https://github.com/lexus2k/lcdgfx).
In the last part of the video, I'll demonstrate how I use the watch as a remote control to activate and deactivate the ESP32powered Escape Roominabox controller which I'm currently in the process of building.
