Tiny Arcade & Pocket Arcade / Tiny Arcade stuck on Bootloader

« on: January 12, 2018, 08:40:37 AM »

My Tiny Arcade was working fine. I then tried to play around with Arduino to upload some test scripts setting the TinyArcade int Bootloader. Unfortunately I had the wrong settings for the Board and Build Options. I then tried to upload the default menu with the right options (Board:TinyArcade, Build Options: Menu (no USB Init)) . The program compiles and seems to get uploaded, but nothing appears on the screen. I can only see something on the screen if if put the device in Bootloader mode. Arduino recognizes de port without problems.

Tiny Arcade & Pocket Arcade / Circuitpython/Micropython on Tinyscreen?

« on: December 23, 2017, 11:28:05 AM »

Hi, I do not have Tinyscreen/Tinyarcade yet, but I was wondering whether it would be possible to install circuitpython for the SAMD21 on it and use a SSD1331 library to access the display (if it is compatible). The device looks like a nice educational device to introduce programming concepts. Obviously, I understand the usage of micropython would limit the speed and complexity of the games, but might be enough for basic introductory games.
