TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Tiny Duino and Tiny Shield Accelerometer

« on: October 31, 2015, 04:53:02 PM »

I've recently gotten into a project with, admittedly, little prior knowledge.  I am using a TinyDuino and a Tiny Shield accelerometer. Am I correct in thinking that with the two effectively plugging into one another, I have no need to wire the accelerometer into the protoboard?  I'm following a wiring diagram that was made for another set of hardware (Arduino Pro Mini & MPU6050 accelerometer) but I'm trying to make it work with my current TinyDuino pieces.

Am I correct in thinking that I don't need to physically wire to the accelerometer and the proto board?  That should be done via the sketch, correct?

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / TinyShield Accelerometer missing INT1 & INT2?

I recently purchased a TinyShield Accelerometer from Fry's here in Dallas. Upon starting to work on my project, I learned that the TinyShield that I purchased and the one on your website are not the same.  My TinyShield (ASD2511 Rev 4) is missing the INT1 & INT2 outputs.  This is posing a problem as I need to be able to connect to INT1 at a minimum.  Is this an older board?  Is there another option for me to connect?

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / FONA 808 and TinyDuino with Proto Board

« on: October 13, 2015, 10:57:58 PM »

I'm looking to use the FONA 808 with the TinyDuino with Li battery support, TinyShield Accelerometer, the TinyShield Protoboard, and potentially Mifare MFRC522 RFID Reader/Writer.

I'm relatively new to this stuff but I'm wanting to try and learn.  I'm a bit confused by this thread. The MFRC522 appears to require 3.3v.  I'm seeing where the TinyDuino no longer provides a 3.3v rail.  Would I basically need to wire the MFRC522 to the Protoboard and use a step-down to bring it from 5v to the necessary 3.3v?

From there, I should be good to go, correct?

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Where to buy JST SH connectors in bulk?

« on: October 12, 2015, 10:01:05 PM »

I'm searching for a good place to purchase the correct JST SH connectors.

I'm looking for the size that can be plugged into the TinyDuino main board.  It seems that I'm having trouble ensuring that I am getting the correct size.

Is this the correct connector? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/10357

If anyone has a link to a DigiKey or Mouser item, I would greatly appreciate it as well.

TIA!
