Printoo plastic electronics development kit sparks interest

Printoo a modular open-source development kit using plastic electronics has been launched.

It is hoped it will emulate the success of conventional electronics platforms like Raspberry Pi.
It is made by Portuguese firm Ynvisible, and includes samples of its own flexible electrochromic displays along with components from other manufacturers. Following a successful crowd-funding appeal on Kickstarter, Ynvisible hope it will help create a community of developers, to accelerate the dissemination of plastic electronics.

Individual Printoo kits will cost between €33 and €380 with the first batches being delivered later this year. A prototype version is shown hear in a video from Ynvisible.
