The Pocuter is an Arduino® compatible mini-computer that combines a full color OLED, a Microcontroller with WIFI and Bluetooth capability, Micro SD card connector for up to 512 Gigabytes of storage, three assignable buttons, microphone, accelerometer, temperature sensor, ambient light sensor with PPG capability, RGB LED and charging module in a coin sized package.
Everything you need to know about the Pocuter
Everything you need to know
The onboard full color OLED with 96x64 pixels inside a 0.95 Inch panel can display bright and saturated 16-Bit colors!
The ESP32-C3 supports both WiFi & BLE - powerful enough to display 3D graphics over 30FPS!
Clock speed | 160MHz |
Internal flash | 4MB |
SRAM | 400KB |
WiFi | 20-40 bandwidth @2.4 GHz |
Bluetooth LE | 5.0 |
A micro USB port is used to upload new firmware or Arduino sketches directly onto the chip. The ESP32-C3 has native USB, so no external debugger or bridge is needed.
The self-updating Pocuter OS brings possibilities on another level! Load Arduino sketches and other compatible binary files directly from your 'hard disk' - the micro SD card! This way, you can load hundreds even thousands of apps without re-uploading the codes every time!
The 3-axis accelerometer enables the Pocuter to detect motion and which way it is tilted to. A shake and specific tilt detection enables automatic wakeups.
The temperature sensor is built into the same IC as the accelerometer. It enables you to linearly measure the current temperature.
All colors of the RGB LED are connected to PWM ports so it is possible to display every single color variation.
The ambient light sensor enables you to detect differences in the light level. This can be helpful to see if something is opened or how bright it is right now.
In most cases, the Pocuter is used as a portable device run by a Lithium Polymer or Ion battery. The onboard battery charger ensures that you never have to exchange batteries, just plug it in with a micro USB cable.
The Pocuter exposes its power ports, 6 breadboard compatible GPIOs, I2C & SPI ports. We used most pins that lack features for the fixed internal components and exposed the pins with the most features including ADC & PWM!
