-**Hamclock on an O2 Joggler by Jonathan, 2E0LXQ**
-Despite being out of production for nearly a decade, the O2 Joggler is still a useful & capable device that was probably a little to expensive for what it did when it launched in the early 2000s. There's quite an active hacking community around the devices, mainly centred on the [[https://www.jogglerwiki.com/forum/ | Jogglerwiki site]]; there are plenty of resources there for tinkering with the operating system, and many owners have adapted them as media players.
-It occurred to me that the elegant [[http://www.clearskyinstitute.com/ham/HamClock/ | Hamclock app]] by Elwood Downey, WB0OEW, could probably run well on the device, and with a bit of persuasion, it does. The advantage of using the Joggler is that you instantly have a neat, self-contained unit that combines a smart case & touchscreen in one.
-If you would like to make your own Hamclock on a Joggler, please follow the steps below. Warning: I am not a coder, and my way to make this work was to simply find which modules or parts the system needed, and to load them until I had a working system. There may be a much more elegant way to achieve any of this, and if there is, please do tell me & I will edit this page accordingly.
-I am going to assume that someone following this page is fairly confident with using apps like Terminal & finding their way around command-line instructions. If you need more help, drop me a line via the OARC Discord group & I will try to do what I can.
