nope, i acquired a spare Beocom but the pcb is busted, and I want to make something useful out of it

<:alithink:327930371796893698> are you unable to use Google assistant, Bixby, Siri, Alexa, etc to place calls? I guess I don't understand what your use case is

@Windatica It would be good, but there are 20 keys begging to be used

<:pepestressed:327933525124841482> wot

It's a project for the sake of a project?

so you want to be cool retro telephone man?

Basically

<:deletdis:560200664794398741>

This is the fucker

making a telephone an accessory for your cell phone, what a world we live in

alright but how often do you actually make phonecalls

he wants to use the keypad on the phone

but jsut have it talk to his cell to make the connection

It's more of an exercise on designing a good looking PCB

it seems like you are jsut making it less convienient

to call people

The use case would be me leaving the smartphone charging in another room away from my desk, and answering/placing phone calls via the modded beocom

is this jsut a convoluted scheme to get you to stop playing candy crush all day?

this sounds like an overengineered solution to a non-existant problem

just bring the charger in the same room as you

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two more or less, yeah

or use a bluetooth speaker

but jokes aside, I really want to do something with that phone other than collecting dust, and since we don't even have a POTS line, I thought to give this idea a shot

you could always just throw it in the garbage

it wont collect dust if its melted down into a soda bottle

😦

uhh

discord converts emoticons into emojis nice

there's an option to disable that ;)

Some trash is just trash, dear

its a neat looking phone but i dont think its worth the effort to make a negatively useful item like you are planning

I know, but still...

(A) let go

Anyway, I found this module (BK8000L) which would make for a great candidate, but has no AT command to call a user defined number

sounds like its actually a poor candidate then

This whole idea is retarded but I wish you luck in your evdevor

innovation is just applied autism

If you ever actually make it please let me know

@Magnets nice. They didn't even trim the leads in the bottom of the board. Get what you pay for I suppose.

👌
