Intro
We want to encourage you to tinker with your r0ket. Write your own software or build a pluggable hardware m0dul. Surprise with your creative ideas!
Several people contacted us about producing r0kets for other occasions. All necessary information is on github and we're happy to help. But you should plan ahead at least 2 months!
Schematic
Links: Schematic
CPU
Name: LPC1343
Description: 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 32KB flash, 8KB SRAM, USB Device
LCD
r0ket v1 and v2 come with a black and white display:
Name: Nokia 1200
Description: Nokia 1200 - 96×68 (green) monochrome LCD
Controller: Phillips PCF8814 Datasheet
Connector: Hirose DF23-10DS Datasheet
Video: Nokia displays
The Nokia 1600 - 98×70 4096 color LCD is pin compatible. Software to use this display with r0ket exists - see colordisplay for more.
RF
Name: nRF24L01+
Description: Single Chip 2.4GHz Transceiver with an embedded baseband protocol engine. ISM frequency band at 2.400 - 2.4835GHz
Antenna
its 50 ohms, so you can easily extend it by e.g. a cantenna

Battery
Description: Custom made 3.7V 600mAh rechargeable LiPo battery
Dataflash
Name: AT45DB041B
Description: Serial interface flash memory, 4,325,376 bits of memory organized as 2048 pages of 264 bytes
Interfaces
m0dulbus
See m0dul for details.
