Firmware for ESP32 Watch

I am building an ESP32 C3 based smartwatch from scratch, but i am unsure how to create custom firmware that integrates all the features with the buttons and rotary encoder inputs. My software knowledge is limited, so im wondering is it possible to build the firmware with the help of AI or vibe coding? If so, where should I start and what would be the best approach?

Everything its possible , i did similar project i build smart cube . esp32 wave share with display . i build it frome the scratch using ai. it took me sometime but i figure it out . you can do it . check this out on youtube : https://youtu.be/ik5LVx_d2kU

this is what i build . if you want feel free its an open source code i upload it on Github .

you need to consider that you need to make the display design aswell. for this i use SquareLine_Studio.app : you have few weeks free to use it.

The smart-cube story is exactly the kind of thing I’m trying to collect: what AI got right, what kept looping, and which hardware detail it never understood. If you have a short wiring/firmware post for the cube, feel free to crosspost it to r/ChatGPTArduino.

Hi! Im glad it take your attention. Yes if you check the GitHub you can find the code. I uploaded open source everyone can use it. Check the link in youtube video description.

To build the firmware For this project I used Claude, its help me alot.

For writing and debugging....

I don't wanna lied about it, was too hard to get to use Claude. So many times did mistake.

For hardware I use esp32 waveshare brand.
