A Phone application for written for the Cobblr framework.
Here's a list of hardware necessary to make the phone work:
- 1 Raspberry Pi
- 1 Adafruit 2.8in PiTFT
- 1 (Optional) Adafruit Powerboost 1000C
- 1 (Optional) Adafruit Lipo Battery 2500mAh
The phone software is based on Dave Hunt's PiPhone. The wiring is the same, and it can be found here. I was inspired by Dave's work, and wanted to add some features. I ended up writing a small framework around the core of the code. Some of Cobblr's improvements include:
- It's faster.
- It can receive calls.
- The framework itself supports multiple apps.
- It can be extended a bit easier.
Dave inspired me, so I want to make sure I mention him. I wouldn't have thought of it on my own.
Follow the directions to install the Cobblr framework. The PiTFT should be configured in portrait mode (no rotation). Once that's finished, and the framework is installed, execute this command:
sudo cobblr install cobblr-phone
Though not required, I've made a polycarbonate and aluminum body for it. The CADs are avaliable here. Other applications were made to work with the cobblr-phone:
