RePhone Introduction

RePhone Kit is an open source modular phone kit that changes the way we put our phone into use. It provides a new form of phone customization, and the easiest solution to wearable/IoT development.
With Rephone you can create your own phone in minutes by using the slim MODULES, accessible SOFTWARE, and customizable PHONE CASE. You can also hack things around you, giving inanimate objects the power of cellular communication, having conversations with your pets, plants, toys, motorcycle helmets, robots, or drones through cellular connectivity.

Development Environment

We have developed rich libraries hooking into Arduino IDE, Lua and JavaScript, with detailed example sketches to help entry-level programmers develop with RePhone modules easily and quickly. We also provide a full power SDK based on Eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers to work with high level applications.

Also, if you are developing RePhone modules based on other Arduino compatible development board, you can refer to:
Find the RePhone Kit Create Source Code here (based on Eclipse IDE):
We will keep updating the RePhone SDK on our Github page:

Reset your Rephone to defaults

Please be noticed that reset your Rephone to defaults will delete all the settings and files(images, musics) in the RePhone, do aware of this before you reset it to defaults.
To reset your RePhone to DEFAULTS:

  5. Restart your RePhone then its done. As reset have deleted all the files, you would have to put an mp3 file in the mass storage as well for the use of ringtone.

RePhone Community

We’ve been looking for a better place where our backers (RePhone Users) can sit together, warmly and comfortably, have conversations about RePhone, discuss technical problems, share ideas/projects, and give feedback on the modules’ development in the future. And then here we go, the RePhone Community.
Now join us in the RePhone Community
Together we seek answers, make interesting stuff, care about each other, and share our experiences.
Frequently Asked Questions
Some frequently asked questions in RePhone Community are collected and answered to the topic “Frequently Asked Questions of RePhone (FAQ)”,the topic will be kept updating whenever a new FAQ comes out.
