CircuitMess Ringo - an educational DIY mobile phone

This is the main CircuitMess Ringo GitHub repository.

Ringo is an educational mobile phone that you make and code yourself. It comes in parts that have to be assembled and then leaves you with all the time in the world to build on the pre-loaded software.

This is the page where you will find all the neccessary information about how to do your own programming on Ringo using Arduino platform.

All the libraries, licenses, schematics and source files are available to check out at anytime. Additional information can be found on the offical CircuitMess website.

Ringo is a DIY mobile phone project that was recently successfuly funded on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/albertgajsak/makerphone-an-educational-diy-mobile-phone
