TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / TinyScreen+ library and SPI1

« on: February 06, 2016, 01:43:45 PM »

Hi everyone!

I want to play around with the updated TinyScreen library but I can't get it to compile. This is the error message I get:

Code: [Select]

/Users/magnusrunesson/Projects/Arduino/libraries/TinyScreen/TinyScreen.cpp: In constructor 'TinyScreen::TinyScreen(uint8_t)':
/Users/magnusrunesson/Projects/Arduino/libraries/TinyScreen/TinyScreen.cpp:487:12: error: 'SPI1' was not declared in this scope
     TSSPI=&SPI1;
            ^
SPI1 is not defined in any of my SPI libraries. I've looked through the ones that come with the Arduino IDE (1.6.7) and I've installed the Arduino Zero core but that doesn't define SPI1 either. I've installed the Arduino Zero core as I figured that is what Tiny Arcade is based on maybe it is a good start, but that didn't help.

Anyone out there who've used the new TinyScreen+ library? (The one in commit with SHA 0a63de70884f1b00a21a9f6051912df86cc78203)

Thanks!

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Audio on the TinyArcade

« on: January 12, 2016, 04:48:22 AM »

Hi all,

How is audio played on the tiny arcade? Will it be possible to have a separate thread that does the mixing and feed a mixed buffer to the audio some how?

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / TinyArcade and the SD card reader

Will it be possible to read from the SD card in a TinyArcade app?

Both into SRAM and Flash Memory would be interesting, but I assume the Flash Memory have a limited number of writes to it?

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / TinyArcade and memory usage

« on: December 26, 2015, 09:45:11 AM »

Hi everyone!

First of all, I'm super excited about the TinyArcade! I ordered the 3 DIY kits and is eagerly awaiting their arrival.

I'm preparing some games for it and have a few questions, but I figured I should start one thread per question to keep it simply, I hope that is ok!

So first of, memory on the TinyArcade.

If TinyArcade is based on Arduino Zero, and the Arduino Zero have 256 KB FLASH and 32 KB SRAM, will the TinyArcade also have 256 KB flash and 32 KB SRAM? Will the code execute from FLASH or does the executable AND runtime data need to exist in the 32 KB SRAM?

Also, is there a memory handler for the 32 KB SRAM?

Cheers!

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Combining different shields

« on: November 23, 2015, 04:04:59 PM »

Hi everyone,

First time poster here.

I have just found out about Tinyduino and Tiny Arcade and I must say, I'm super excited! I'm not sure I can hold off until the Tiny Arcade is funded and shipping so I figured I should just order the parts so I can get cracking on making games for it.

I have two questions and I've searched these forums without finding the answer. I hope I'm not asking rookie questions and you can all still accept me.

1) What are the limitations for combining different shields? Can I simply attach any combination of shields and build what ever monster I'd like? For example, can I have audio, screen, micro sd, real-time clock and gps? How can I know which shields I can combine?

2) For the Tiny Arcade, is there a new joystick and audio shield developed, or can I get the game kit and audio shield and expect to run my code on the Tiny Arcade?

Cheers,
Magnus
