Kite is a DIY kit that lets makers build their own custom smartphone, and more. Kite is the world’s first DIY modular smartphone platform. With Kite, off-the-shelf electronics components (sensors, displays, batteries), and a 3D printer, you can build your own custom device… which could be more than just a smartphone. More details are at http://www.kiteboard.io/
Here is a short video that shows the kit : https://youtu.be/hanbZVkot7k
Unlike commercial modular phones, Kite does not restrict its users to a predefined form of modularity. Instead, a fluid type of modularity is achieved by relying on
- 3D printing for casing
- Raspberry Pi compatible HAT connector for custom electronics
- IPX connectors for antenna
- Generic support for LiPoly batteries
- Generic connector for display & cameras
- Support for common audio interfaces like speaker, mic & earpiece
Drop by this session to see the whole concept live ! I will show some devices built with Kite and do live teardowns…
