Compatible with all mobile networks, Ringo is also an educational device. It's purpose is to motivate you to explore, learn and create something new in a fun and interesting way. With an estimated build time of about 5 hours, building the Ringo is just the beginning. After that, you’ll spend numerous hours creating your own games and apps and experimenting with the hardware.
Ringo is based on an Arduino-compatible ESP32 microcontroller, so it can be programmed in Arduino IDE and it’s also compatible with lots of hardware expansion modules.
CircuitBlocks is a graphical programming interface that helps newbies get into embedded programming. It’s based on Microsoft’s MakeCode and PXT-Blockly (Google Blockly fork) and it presents you with a slick Scratch-like interface in which you can connect logic blocks to generate code for your MAKERphone. All the necessary components and drivers are installed. Spend less time setting up and more time hacking!
CircuitOS is Ringo's custom-made operating system built on top of FreeRTOS. Currently it only works on the Ringo DIY mobile phone.
