The heart rate analysis step is still a work in progress but the current
app allows us to visualize the the results of the signal conditioning.

We also change the colour scheme slightly because the increased size of
the clock interferes visually with the main display when it is bright
white.

Currently there's no fancy algorithms to estimate stride length. Just
pure simple step counting directly from the hardware's "intelligence
engine".

The logo module is currently unused but it simply sits there consuming
flash. Let's shift it to the demo app to is can consume RAM instead (but
only when we upload the demo to the watch).
wasp-os contains circular import dependancies (wasp includes apps which
include wasp) but this is normally harmless.
However using __init__.py exagerated to the problem and since the benefit
of the __init__ file is pretty anyway the let's just remove it.
We now have a couple of applications (stopwatch, Game of Life) that benefit
from sub-second precision. The micropython RTC/utime code for nrf still
needs a major overhaul but this allows us to paper over the cracks for
just a little longer.
This is getting us much closer to the final UI concept. We have a
quick ring from which we can select typical apps such as clock and
stopwatch which will (eventually) be supplemented with step counting
and heart rate monitoriing. More exotic apps (currenrtly torch, self
test, settings) are all relagated to the launcher ring.
There are still some holes here. In particular the RTC resolution on
nRF devices (such as PineTime) is currently a full second (meaning
the centiseconds will always be zero. Nevertheless that isn't the apps
fault... as we can see when we run on the simulator.
If an application crashes let's report it on the device so it can be
distinguished from a hang (if nothing else it should mean we get better
bug reports).
As we enrich the navigation options we will increasinly need to visualize
between apps where up/down will switch us between rings and there
up/down is needed to scroll through content.
Here the biggest changes are in the test application because we
refactor a number of the tests to make better use of the button.
Although applications may consume button events it does have a
default behavior which is to switch to the default application
(usually the clock).
After a bit of testing I have not yet come up with a fast, visually
acceptable horizontal animated effect. Instead we simply reply on
screen blanking during the redraw... meaning there is no need for an
effect hint.
This is a big change that break compatiblity with existing applications
*and* with existing installed versions of main.py.
When upgrading it is import to update main.py:
./tools/wasptool --upload wasp/main.py
This is something of an experiment but now the app roll is traversed using
horizontal swipes and applications should primarily use vertical swipes
to navigate internally. This is mostly because if "feels" better but it
also leaves the vertical scrolling hardware available for use by the
app.
Moving it from applications into the watch is useful for two reasons.
Firstly it means applications don't need to know as much about the
display color depth and secondly it makes it easier to replace the
drawing routines with wasptool.
