I just stumbled upon https://blog.johannes-mittendorfer.com/artikel/2020/10/my-toothbrush-streams-gyroscope-data
It looks quite good documented. My phone provides the same kind of information with the nRF Connect app.

A quick hack of bledetect using this

  deviceMenu[device.id] = () => { 
	  NRF.connect("24:e5:xx:xx:xx:xx").then(function(server) {
			console.log("conn");
		});
	  console.log(device.id);
	  };

actually shows the device can connect.

I have to admit that I still don't get the concept of digging further into that (i.e. how to retrieve values from the device). But maybe someone want to take care of it :)

We might be eventually able to use the brush as a joystick or even show useful information like battery level, showing the mode or a stop watch.

... maybe it's possible to somehow figure out from the gyro which bits of your mouth you've cleaned - however I imagine most people could remember :)

I know. 😀 But there might be different use cases for all the sensors.
