TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Re: Is the ANY way I can connect non-tinyduino i/o to the tinyduino processor?

I managed to get an external button working. After a bit of digging, I found out that the 3.5 connection doesn't do anything and that you should connect any externals to VCC, not 5V so it can switch between usb and battery power. Hope that helps somebody.

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Re: How to connect the TinyShield Ribbon Cable Extender kit?

With the help of a very large magnifying glass I was able to figure it out. Indeed there is a tiny hinged black plastic piece that flips up. Insert your cable with contacts towards the board and press down carefully. I gues it's supposed to be self-evident. I'm still learning and not as eagle-eyed as I used to be so basic instructions with pictures would have helped. Cheers.

Hello, I've recieved my kit and I can't figure out how the connectors are supposed to attach. I'd fiddle with it but it's just so ...tiny. I suspect you have to press on it - there's no instructions I can find. Help!

That is very helpful, thanks. I've received my proto board and I'm trying to figure out how to wire my buttons into the flappy birds program. I'm a novice at this so it will take some trial and error. I suspect that I need to route a voltage (5V?) through the button and into a digital input on the board, then find the appropriate piece of code to hack. If anyone has any tips on this please chime in.

I need this, too. Will the proto board allow me to connect external buttons that control the same functions as the four built-in tiny screen buttons? I'm making an external control panel and I'd like that option. If so, are there examples/schematics?

This just happened to me as well, Working just fine and then went black after 3 days of use. I love this little screen I hope it will get replaced quickly! It was replaced inside a week! No charge. Amazing!
