TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Re: GPS Logger No data returned
« on: December 14, 2020, 11:10:13 AM »
Hello,
You mentioned you found this program from the product page. I believe the full starting tutorial might help point you in the right direction: https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Sensors/GPS_TinyShield_Tutorial/
It looks like the example you are using is from the "GPS Tracker and Data Logger" project tutorial that requires some additional hardware other than a processor and GPS TinyShield. Are you using all of the same hardware that is referenced in the tutorial? You can see the full tutorial here: https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Projects/GPS-Tracker-Data-Logger_Tutorial/
Let me know if that helps, or if you run into any other questions!
I noticed you had some other comments on multiple threads ranging from recently to a few years ago - to keep things organized I will work on responding to this thread that you started and disregard the other comments, so please make sure to ask any outstanding questions in this thread.
Thank you,
Réna

General Discussion / Re: TinyScreen+ PIN breakout
« on: November 30, 2020, 04:36:37 PM »
Kon,
That's certainly the right connector that you would want to use - and it would work, but be a little difficult to handle and very fragile since the part is so small. For the pin breakout, it might be easier to consider a proto board TinyShield. These are the most popular: https://tinycircuits.com/collections/proto-boards/products/proto-board-tinyshield
But there are other options: https://tinycircuits.com/collections/proto-boards
I believe the Cyber Monday sale is going on until midnight today. so I'd recommend getting them while they're on sale!
We send out orders as they come in, but if you ordered a TinyScreen+ today, we might still have the order unpacked if you wanted us to add something!
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Réna

This is awesome! It's great to finally see pictures of the tiny rocket!
We are looking to hopefully release the ZOE GPS TinyShield on our website sometime in the next few months. Thanks so much for putting it to good use and reporting back on your findings!

Looks like the picture link got broken from an edit on the product page.
I will build the site later today to get it fixed. Good find!

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Re: Dual Motor Tiny Shield with LEDs
« on: November 17, 2020, 05:01:06 PM »
Hello,
Yes, you could use a Dual Motor TinyShield to drive some LEDs. Since the LEDs draw quite a bit of power, it would probably be best to attach the series of LEDs to both motor outputs so that you don't have to approach the upper limit (1.8A) on one of the motor chips.
This has been done by others with other motor chips, so it's not a crazy idea if it makes sense for your project.
Thanks,
Réna

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Re: HC-SR04 on proto board
« on: November 17, 2020, 03:19:41 PM »
Hello,
It sounds like you may have damaged the ultrasonic sensor with the loose connections if you are no longer able to read data using the Arduino UNO that previously worked with the sensor.
For testing a circuit without making soldered connections, you might want to consider using the Proto Terminal Blocks TinyShield in the future: https://tinycircuits.com/collections/proto-boards/products/proto-terminal-blocks-tinyshield
As mentioned in the forum post you linked, even if you were using less voltage than the 5V required by the HC-SR04, it sounds like the sensor would function at some capacity.
Let me know if you are able to get the sensor working with the Arduino UNO again!
Thanks,
Réna

« on: November 17, 2020, 12:46:33 PM »
There are programs for the TinyZero to be used for the Smart Watch project that will be added to GitHub and the tutorial for future reference.
Until then, they are attached to this forum message.
Best,

General Discussion / Re: Question about Custom Fitness Tracker
« on: November 17, 2020, 12:43:47 PM »
Hello,
There should be a block of code toward the top of the Fitness Tracker program that looks something like this:
/Library must be passed the board type
//TinyScreenDefault for TinyScreen shields
//TinyScreenAlternate for alternate address TinyScreen shields
//TinyScreenPlus for TinyScreen+
TinyScreen display = TinyScreen(TinyScreenDefault);
If you edit the display variable name to match the TinyScreen TinyShield, I believe the program will work other than the battery voltage section that is specific to the TinyScreen+ processor hardware.
If you were to purchase the TinyScreen+ processor for this project, you would only need to use the TinyScreen+ and not include the TinyZero in the hardware stack since each board is a processor board.

Hey there,
Since the screen is made of glass, it's not unbreakable and a small crack could prove to be fatal for the screen if there is any chance it was damaged.

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Re: Tri-Colored LEDs
« on: November 09, 2020, 06:31:04 PM »
I would say that you might need a voltage regulator to step down the voltage.
You can look for more resources on the Arduino forum: https://forum.arduino.cc/
Or I would advise you to contact the vendor of your tricolor LEDs and ask them.

Hello,
I cannot be quite sure since I don't know what exact LEDs you have, but it sounds like you have tricolor LEDs that may require some resistors to be connected in series with each of the "colored" leads. I found a tutorial that might be helpful: https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/muhammad-aqib/arduino-rgb-led-tutorial-fc003e
I believe the best way to approach would be to use some RGB LED Wirelings and a Wireling Adapter TinyShield - this way you do not have to worry about connecting these tricolor LEDs and keeping track of the pins, just the labeled ports - you can also string them together, and there is an easy-to-use library, FastLED, that includes a lot of functionality that makes it easy to work with.
It depends on what you would like to accomplish!
I hope that helps!
Thanks
