Phoenard is a programmable controller and development board with full Arduino programming support. Use the Phoenard to control robots, machines, lights, wearables and more, making use of the onboard wireless communication (GSM, WiFi, Bluetooth) and motion sensors.
The 16-bit color LCD touchscreen can be used to display user interfaces, for which we provide a full-fledged Arduino library. Display and control buttons, sliders, gauges, graphs and more with very little programming experience required. Design your own widgets and visuals for experienced users. Build interactive solutions to everyday projects!
Multiple Arduino programs, called sketches, can be stored on the Micro-SD card of the device. The installed on-board software and firmware enables multi-sketch operation. Switch between all your sketches in the home menu while away from the computer.
Your electronics projects can be docked to the bottom 30-pin connector, which exposes basic design needs such as digital pins, 6 analog input pins, 3v3 power and I2C/SPI/Serial digital interfaces. The connector doubles as a standard docking connector providing audio to the right pins, allowing the device to play music when docked on a docking music station.
