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.

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.
