Summary of ArduinoPhone
This article details the creation of a DIY mobile phone using an Arduino microcontroller paired with various shield modules. The project involves 3D printing a custom shell for the device. While functional, the author notes the phone is somewhat clunky and lacks the capability to run standard smartphone apps like Angry Birds without significant modifications. The text outlines that the full guide covers hardware connections and software implementation steps.
Parts used in the Arduino Phone:
- Arduino
- Shield modules
- 3D printer
Combining Arduino and other shield modules, we make a mobile phone named Arduino Phone. Meanwhile, we printed a shell for it with the 3D printer. Although it’s not such fine as you think, even a little bit clunky, it’s still very cool. That is the point this is a cell phone made by ourselves.
While, we can’t install Arduino Phone Apps limited by Arduino. So, if you want to play Angry Birds, then you need to do some big modifications on Arduino Phone. 🙂Next, I will make a detailed explanation about the steps of making an Arduino Phone, including the hardware connection and software implementation.
