## What it is
The comma.ai neo is an open source robotics research platform combining a OnePlus 3 smartphone with an STM32F205-based CAN interface board in a 3D-printed, actively cooled housing. It includes NEOS, a stripped-down Android ROM, plus schematics, bill of materials, and 3D-printable case files for building the device yourself (~$700).

## Use cases
- build your own open source robotics research hardware
- interface a smartphone with a car's CAN bus
- experiment with Android-based robot platforms
- 3D print and solder a custom embedded research device
- study open source hardware designs for driver assistance research

## When to choose
- you want to build the original comma.ai neo hardware from schematics and BOMs
- you need a smartphone-powered robotics platform with CAN connectivity
- you want to study or fork comma.ai's open source hardware designs

## When to avoid
- you want current comma.ai hardware — the neo is deprecated in favor of newer designs
- you need a production-ready or supported product rather than alpha-quality research hardware
- you cannot source parts or solder components yourself

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: embedded, developer-tools
- domain: robotics, hardware, embedded-systems, autonomous-vehicles
- platform: embedded
