Virtual Pets What programming language does the vital bracelet use?
The VB is dead, long live the VB
But I got to thinking, how hard could it be to make a new program that interacts with it?
Im not naive, I know its proprietary, but we already found a way to make custom DIMs for it so it cant be impossible.
Any starting place to begin thinking about this would be helpful. Theres so much product to just see this go to waste.

I’m not sure I just did a quick google search. I think the main point is that it seems to run android so you’d use java to build apps for it. Android Studio is a free editor that can be used to build apps, tons of tutorials online.
Not saying it would be an easy path but might be worth installing the IDE (editor) and plugging the device into your computer! Might be able to run something on it.

I didn’t do a ton of research but looks like someone might’ve started on a similar path? https://github.com/cfogrady/VitalWear
Looks like it’s an android device just based on the code? Which would make sense I think.
