"The engineering is smarter than it looks: instead of embedding a full microcontroller and battery into a phone accessory, Yang uses GPIO communication to let your smartphone handle the processing. Your phone already has more power than an Arduino Mega, better connectivity than most dev boards, and a screen you actually want to look at. Commi Board just provides the physical interface for components and the software to make it work."
"You get four programming methods ranging from conversational AI to a proper IDE, real-time circuit validation, and a small display that shows execution status. Dimensions are tight: 62mm by 98mm when installed, with the board itself at 62mm by 82mm when detached. The color scheme gives strong Flipper Zero vibes, but there's a key difference between that infamous pen-testing tool and this humble breadboard."
"The modular design splits into the breadboard surface and a MagSafe mounting frame with that distinctive ring cutout for phone cameras. Everything connects through USB-C 3.2, BLE, or Bluetooth, and the cloud storage means you can start a project on your phone and pick it up later without dealing with local file management. Yang has a working theoretical PCB prototype with tested connectivity, though the full API integration is still in mockup phase."
Commi Board is a MagSafe breadboard that offloads processing to a smartphone using GPIO communication, turning the phone into the primary compute and interface. The device separates a breadboard surface from a MagSafe mounting frame with a camera-ring cutout and compact dimensions (62×98mm installed, 62×82mm detached). It provides four programming methods from conversational AI to a full IDE, real-time circuit validation, and a small execution-status display. Connectivity includes USB-C 3.2, BLE, and Bluetooth, plus cloud project storage for seamless device switching. A theoretical PCB prototype demonstrates tested connectivity while API integration remains a mockup.
