Project guide

Overview

Build your Apple Health Stat Board using itsaSNAP and CircuitPython. This project uses the Adafruit Matrix Portal S3 to make network calls to retrieve data and a 64x64 panel to display that data.

itaSNAP now has HealthKit capabilities, which allows users to query specific Apple Health data and send it to Adafruit IO. This displays your weekly steps, workouts, and distance traveled during a workout.

You'll need to use the Matrix Portal S3 for this project to work, will will not work with the Matrix Portal M4!

itsaSNAP for iOS

itsaSNAP is a simple iOS app designed for exploring Adafruit IO. It allows you to send data to your Adafruit IO feeds. You can also link it to control or monitor your internet-connected projects. This lets you control and check Adafruit devices from your phone, anywhere.

It also allows us use of Apple's Shortcuts app to create a code-free automation from your iOS device.

This project works with Apple devices. There is no Android app at this time.
