Based on the ATmega1284P, ArduPhone lets you build mobile phone functionality into your Arduino projects or even to use as your own phone.

It was Chris Anderson that originally coined the phrase“the peace dividend of the smartphone war” arguing that “when giants battle, we all win,” and it’s that smartphone war that made building your.

We took a look at early prototypes of the ZeroPhone by Arsenij Pichugin back in January 2017 when the hardware was in a far less mature state. However, now the project is getting a lot closer to production, we thought we’d go back and take another look.

It was Chris Anderson that originally coined the phrase“the peace dividend of the smartphone war” arguing that “…when giants battle, we all win,” and it’s that smartphone war that made building your own phone a possibility, and there have been any number of people that have done so; from Matt Biddulph’s “cell phone from parts,” Avishek Hardin’s lightweight Arduino-powered GSM handset, through to Adafruit’s box-like Ardui-o-Phone, and the ArduPhone, an off-the-shelf Arduino-compatible cell phone from freetronics. This year’s EMF Camp badge is even a fully functional cell phone.

The ZeroPhone is somewhat different to a lot of the previous efforts we’ve seen before, though, most of which were built around AVR microcontrollers. Instead with this Raspberry Pi Zero device, you have the core of, not just an cell phone, but an open source smartphone running Linux.

“ZeroPhone is an open source, Linux-powered, $50 smartphone. It has no carrier locks, bloated apps, or data mining, and it doesn’t depend on big companies — instead, its open source hardware and software give you as much control over your phone as possible.”—Arsenij Pichugin

Based around a Raspberry Pi Zero, the ZeroPhone uses an Espressif ESP8266 module to provide WiFi connectivity. The phone is currently 2G, but support for 3G is coming soon and will hopefully arrive before the phone begins to raise on Crowd Supply.

The phone has an HDMI jack, along with a full-size USB port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and comes with a 1.3-inch 128×64 pixel screen.

The “delta” boards are now finished, and final changes are now being made, so the ZeroPhone should arrive on CrowdSupply in the near future. In the meantime, you can keep track of the project by subscribing to the project’s newsletter or checking out the work log on the Hackaday.io project page. While full details of the project can be found on the ZeroPhone Wiki pages.

However if you have ideas around the development of the phone, and you’re interested in contributing, you might even be able to pick up a free kit before the crowdfunding even starts. Or, of course, you could just build your own. It’s all open source.

Email list

To stay in contact between conferences, the following Google Group email list has been set up. This will be good for technical support, letting each other know what we've done with our projects and preparation for the next Mini-Conf.

Arduino Miniconf 2014

What

The Arduino Miniconf is a 1-day event that runs in conjunction with the linux.conf.au conference. It gives participants an opportunity to learn basic hardware skills such as soldering, by assembling their own Arduino-compatible project, and then the afternoon is filled with interesting talks about various projects and techniques related to Arduino and open hardware in general. To give you some idea what to expect, this is the hardware assembly session at the 2011 Arduino Miniconf:

After the assembly session is over the room is cleaned up a bit and the talks begin. It's a fun and educational event!

When

Artiphone 1

Tuesday, January 7th, 2013, promptly after the LCA opening ceremony and morning tea. Please don't be late!

Where

Perth, as part of linux.conf.au.

The Miniconf room is in the Physics building, lab 1.28 on the first floor.

Here's a Google Maps link showing the entrance to the Physics building: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zwnZQ4DudCOI.kVVmx0A1fTDY

Note that to attend you must first register for the main conference, which provides the venue. The Arduino Miniconf is part of LCA as a specialist stream for conference attendees: it's not a stand-alone event. See http://linux.conf.au/schedule/30084/view_talk?day=tuesday for more information.

Registration And Cost

Attendance is free (to linux.conf.au delegates) but if you wish to participate in the morning hardware assembly tutorial you will need to pre-register and purchase a kit for $110. Space is limited so get in fast! If you just want to come along and watch or attend the talks, you don't need to do anything. If you wish to participate in the hardware assembly tutorial, please submit the registration form:

Hardware Assembly Project: ArduPhone

The hardware assembly project this year is designed to be easy for beginners to put together, even if they haven't soldered before, while still resulting in an amazingly cool end result. The ArduPhone design uses mostly surface mount parts which are all pre-fitted, leaving a small number of through-hole parts for you to solder on. You'll need to fit some connectors, solder in some buttons, and clip on some modules that contain most of the functionality pre-assembled and tested, so even if you're a total beginner to hardware hacking you'll end up with a working ArduPhone by the end of the miniconf.

An early prototype and unfitted parts:
