Introduction

Currently in its infancy wasp-os provides only a little more than a simple
digital clock application for `PineTime <https://www.pine64.org/pinetime/>`_
together with access to the MicroPython REPL for interactive testing and
tweaking. However it keeps time well and has enough power saving
functions implemented that it can survive for well over 72 hours between
charges so even at this early stage it is functional as a wearable
timepiece.
Although still in its infancy wasp-os provides many example applications
including a simple digital clock, a stopwatch, a step counter and a heart rate
monitor. All of these, together with access to the MicroPython REPL for
