Care Board for reTerminal E1001 - reTerminal E1001 - limengdu - CodeCraft Hub

Deploy steps

1. Prepare your device and Muse account

   Have these ready before flashing:

   One reTerminal E1001 , powered or charged, and a USB-C data cable.

   A desktop computer running Chrome or Edge .

   The Muse app on a nearby phone, signed in to the family member's Muse account, with Bluetooth enabled.

   A 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and its password.

   Your own Muse SDK token, created at gadgets.muse.ai . Keep it ready for the page's token prompt.

   If you want to preserve the device's existing firmware, make a backup before installation using the board backup guide .

2. Flash the Care Board firmware

   Connect the E1001's console USB to your computer with a USB data cable and use the firmware tool below to install Care Board. When the write finishes, restart the E1001 (press its reset button, or switch it off and on) so it leaves flashing mode. Then enter your own Muse SDK token when the page asks; the device stores it and restarts. Continue to pairing after the token step.

   Flash firmware to your device (in-app tool on CodeCraft Hub).

3. Pair the E1001 in the Muse app

   Keep your phone near the powered board. In Muse, open Settings > Devices , enable Developer mode , and tap Add Device or + . Select the nearby MuseGadget-Disp-… matching the board. Press the Green key when the app requests device confirmation, then choose your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and enter its password. Continue when the app shows the device as connected. The pairing guide covers the same flow.

4. Install the skill and set up the family

   Open the project's SKILL.md , copy its full contents , and paste them into the family's Muse chat. Ask Muse: Remember this skill and use it with my E1001 Care Board. Install it once after pairing; send the complete skill again whenever it changes. This teaches Muse how to update the board and respond to its events.

   Then say: Set this Care Board up for Dad. Tell Mia when he confirms. His local time is London time. Replace the names and time zone with your family's details. Muse reads the board state and sets its names, clock and local offset. Check that the page shows the intended names and local time before adding reminders.

5. Send a message and try a reminder

   Start with the hardware-tested request: Leave Dad a message and add a reminder in two minutes. Give Muse the message text when needed. The page should show the note and reminder row. At the reminder time, the reminder becomes due and the buzzer sounds. A short Green key press confirms the oldest due or missed reminder; its row gains a check and confirmation time, and Muse replies in the family's chat with the skill installed.

   Try these everyday requests next:

   Tell Dad I'll be home for dinner at seven. Love you! Muse adds a short family message to the page.

   Remind Dad about his blood pressure pill at eight each morning. Tell me if he hasn't confirmed by 8:30. Muse sets a daily 08:00 reminder and a 30-minute confirmation window. Use the medication and timing your family has already agreed.

   Has Dad confirmed his reminder? Muse reads the current state and reports the recorded status and confirmation time.

   An unconfirmed reminder becomes MISSED after its configured interval. The skill asks Muse to report the missing confirmation and suggest a call. Your Muse account's phone notification settings control whether chat updates also alert the phone.

   Additional controls are implemented: with no d…

6. Use the board within its limits

   Care Board is a family reminder and communication aid, not a medical device or emergency service. A key press records a confirmation; establish whether medication was taken by talking to the parent. Use direct contact or appropriate local help for urgent health concerns.

   Use short English or romanized display text. The board supports English/ASCII and selected punctuation, stores up to three messages and eight reminders, and shows the newest message with up to four reminder rows. A two-line message leaves room for three rows. Full e-paper refresh flashes and takes about two seconds.

   Keep Wi-Fi and the Muse session available for event delivery. Queued events and recent event history are held in RAM and clear after a power loss; the care model is saved separately. Check the local time after setup and ask Muse to refresh the UTC offset after daylight saving changes. Daily reminders reset at local midnight, so fit the confirmation window within the same local day. For a reminder on an exact future date, ask Muse to arrange a scheduled action that installs it on that date.

   To stop the reminder plan, ask Muse to set the board's reminders to an empty list. To return to the normal status pag…
