Tiny Arcade / Re: Issue with Micro SD card reading
« on: January 27, 2020, 02:41:47 PM »
Hello,
I hope this other informative comment from mjculross has helped you with the "No SD Card Found error" but if not, let me know if you are still encountering problems and we will try to resolve it! It may indeed be the SD Card having issues after so many years. For future reference, the TinyCircuits email for help is info@tinycircuits.com. Please let us know where you found an incorrect/dead email so we can make sure that doesn't happen to anyone else!
Thanks,
Réna

Tiny Arcade / Re: TinyScreen+ on/off switch broken... suggestions/?
« on: January 22, 2020, 01:06:53 PM »
This is a lame idea, but I would suggest gluing the plastic part of the switch back on. Or if there is something else you can adhere to the broken end of the switch to make it more usable.

General Discussion / Re: Communicating wtih Wirelings
« on: January 14, 2020, 02:21:20 PM »
Hello all,
Karl is right! There is sample code for all TinyCircuits products available. Formal tutorials are being written as the support for Wirelings ramps up, but in the meantime, there may be some working example programs available on the TinyCircuits GitHub. I will say, however, that it might be more helpful to wait until there is official support so you don't end up downloading an old program version. Official support will be documented and encapsulated in a Learn Page tutorial, so that's the easiest way to tell if a program is ready to use.
To try and answer your question the most document-y way, all Wirelings use the Wireling.h library that includes some basic helper functions to help you enable power with the .begin() function, and select the port of whatever adapter board or processor you're using. So most Wireling examples start out like this:
#include <Wireling.h>
setup() {
Wireling.begin();
Wireling.selectPort(wirelingPort);
....
}
For a more direct solution, here is the Learn Page for the Soil Moisture Wireling that includes example code: https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Wirelings/Soil-Moisture_Wireling_Tutorial/
And here is a Learn Page for the Wireling Adapter TinyShield: https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Wirelings/Wireling-Adapter_TinyShield_Tutorial/
I'm not sure what Wireling Kit you bought, but there should be a Kit page to get you started with for most, for example, here is the Planty Kit: https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Wirelings/Wireling_Planty_Kit_Tutorial/
Hope that helps!

Hey John,
This is awesome!
If you wanted to make this project tinier, TinyCircuits now has a Wireling version of the thermal camera board used in this project: https://tinycircuits.com/collections/wireling-sensors/products/ir-thermal-camera-wireling

TinyDuino / Re: Text got scrambled on Tinyscreen+
« on: January 13, 2020, 01:48:46 PM »
Hello,
Are you still experiencing issues with the bottom text on the TinyScreen+?
There aren't many things by the switch that would possibly harm the hardware, but I am curious to know if turning the unit off & on and then reprogramming it would help.
Let me know if you end up figuring it out!
Thank you

General Discussion / Re: ROMs
« on: January 13, 2020, 01:20:26 PM »
Hello, I'll keep it short and simple as well.
The Tiny Arcade and Pocket Arcade platform does not support the ability to use emulators or ROMs due to the hardware not being strong enough.
That being said, all the games that exist for the platform were specifically designed for the Tiny Arcade/Pocket Arcade so they work really well! We do have a growing list of games available: https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Kits/Tiny-Arcade-All-Games/
Thanks for the question!

General Discussion / Re: TinyCircuit Bluetooth Sample Code UART
« on: January 13, 2020, 01:10:28 PM »
Hello,
I used a TinyScreen+ and STBLE TinyShield to test the example included on this Learn Page: https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Communication/Bluetooth-Low-Energy_TinyShield_Tutorial/
and I did not encounter the same error.
Can you tell me more about what hardware you are using, and what you have selected under the Tools menu in the Arduino IDE?
Thank you,
Laveréna

TinyDuino / Re: TinyZero with Servo Shield and example program
« on: November 20, 2019, 11:38:19 AM »
Hello Steve,
You will just need to comment out the line:
while(!SerialMonitorInterface)//This will block until the Serial Monitor is opened on TinyScreen+/TinyZero platform
Then the example you have should work without the Serial Monitor (wirelessly)
Best,
Réna

TinyDuino / Re: TinyScreen+ interrupts and sleeping.
« on: November 20, 2019, 11:33:36 AM »
Hello,
After some review, it does seem that there might be an issue with the example. We will be looking into this!
In the meantime, there is a simple example attached to this reply for using external interrupts to wake the processor from sleep mode.
Best of luck,
Réna

TinyDuino / Re: Analog read rate, TinyZero slower than TinyDuino ...??
« on: November 15, 2019, 04:40:01 PM »
Hello,
The results you're getting are definitely aligned with the accurate speed settings. If you're looking to get faster readings from the SAMD21 (TinyZero) or the ATmega328P (TinyDuino) then you can try using the libraries mentioned in this blog: https://www.avdweb.nl/arduino/adc-dac/fast-10-bit-adc
I hope that helps with whatever you're building!

TinyDuino / Re: Conflict between SD card and Accelerometer interface?
« on: October 31, 2019, 02:13:34 PM »
Hello,
I put together a little example using the Accelerometer TinyShield and the SD Card TinyShield. I am unsure what example you are using and put together, so I can't help you much further than writing something else. If you would like some more help, you can post the program you put together with comments detailing where the issue is you are encountering. Otherwise, the example I'm attaching compiles, uploads, and I am able to see Accelerometer output in the Serial Monitor.

Réna
