FUNCTIONALITY

The SmartPen is equipped with a system button for easy navigation and settings adjustment. It also has soldering pads for connecting a capacitive touch sensor and a pressure sensor to detect pen cartridge interaction. This allows users to interact with the device and navigate through different pages of stored information.

APPLICATION

The primary function of the SmartPen is to assist with memory and organization. Users can send text strings via an app designed by a developer, which the SmartPen firmware processes and organizes into pages. This helps users keep track of important notes, dates, and names, enhancing their ability to recall information easily.
