Arduino enthusiasts searching for a tiny development board and Arduino compatible multitool, may be interested in the PocketScreen developed by the development team at Zepsch based in Ludwigsburg, Germany. Designed to provide a combination of Microcontroller, colour OLED, SD card reader, three buttons, RGB LED and charger, as well as the possibility to add a wireless module to the system, PocketScreen is now available to back via Kickstarter with earlybird pledges available from just €29 or roughly £25.
Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the PocketScreen Arduino development board and its features, Which measures just 22 mm x 25 mm with a thickness of just 5 mm without a battery and just 12 mm with. If all goes well and the Kickstarter campaign is successful worldwide shipping is expected to start sometime around August 2019.
