PiPhone- A Raspberry Pi Based Smart phone
Short Bytes:
In this article, I’m going to share how someone made a “PiPhone”. Well,
as the name suggests, PiPhone is a Raspberry Pi based smartphone that
can make actual calls. Let’s know more.
Raspberry
Pi is today’s most popular development board and it’s continuing to
receive tons of love from developers and DIYers. Today morning, I
stumbled upon another amazing Raspberry Pi DIY that instantly caught my
attention.
I found this PiPhone DIY adorning David Hunt’s blog.
PiPhone is a homemade Raspberry Pi based smartphone that is smaller and looks much geeky than your usual phones.
Making this phone is simple and you’ll surely enjoy this narcissist
geeky gadget. It’s based on a Sim900 GSM/GPRS module and you can make
actual phone calls on its touchscreen.
The PiPhone is powered by a DC-DC converter and a LiPo battery strapped with it.
Take a look at the video below:
If you are bored with your iPhone or Android device, and Raspberry Pi
DIY ing is something that you love, PiPhone is the perfect Sunday
afternoon time pass for you.
