How does the idea come from?
People often need control devices to meet their specific needs.
If they can’t find ready-made solutions, they have to design and manufacture circuit boards, write programs, and even design enclosures themselves.
This is a time-consuming and laborious process. However, the technologies involved are often similar, and many people face the same challenges. That’s why we want to create RIMU to solve this problem.
Why did we want to launch RIMU on Kickstarter?
To bring RIMU from prototype to mass production.
Is RIMU open source?
YES!
Once the project is completed, we will open source all the code, hardware, as well as the drawing.
Which microcontroller are you using for RIMU?
The main MCU is ESP32S3, and other one is ATTiny1616. Using ESP-IDF platform for ESP32S3 and megaTinyCore for attiny1616.
Does it support Arduino or PlatformIO?
Once the ESP-IDF implementation is finished, we will extend its compatibility to Arduino and PlatformIO.
Is it possible to customize the function and module of RIMU?
YES
This is the original intention of RIMU, and we also hope to receive different types of advice so that we can more comprehensively meet our needs.
What warranty does the RIMU include?
Offer a 1-2 year warranty.
How many functions and modules does RIMU have?
As a host, this device has built-in Wi-Fi, blue tooth, built-in antenna + sma, 8Gb, usb+otg, tripod mount, ota, buzzer,angle sensor, haptic motor and 1200mAh.
