User Projects / Code Examples / Re: 9 Axis IMU + MicroSD
« Last post by PioneeringStar on September 18, 2018, 06:05:42 AM »I'm currently developing a 9-axis data-logger. This uses a tinyscreen+, wifi, 9-axis imu and an sd-card. This currently works, but needs a change to manage file sizes.
The Arduino SD card writes to FAT32 only, and can only create files with 8 dot 3 filenames. File size is a concern to me as I'm trying to ensure I get at least 25 samples per second. This is going to create large file sizes, and the open-write data-close are going to get slower as the file get bigger.

TinyDuino / Re: Serial.read baud-rate issues...
« Last post by Bullwinkle on September 17, 2018, 07:01:25 PM »Well, perhaps I wasn't clear when I said "knocking my port speed down to 9600...": I should have said "I changed both the port speed AND the baud-rate specified in the code" from 115200 to 9600. There was No mismatch at any time.
As for conflicts, there are none. Also, I'm not using a hub or intermediate USB connection; I suspect a hardware issue of some sort, but don't have time to worry about it at this point. Still, would be nice to understand what's going on.

User Projects / Code Examples / Skydive Altimeter on TinyScreen and Tinyscreen+
« Last post by MisChlinePrograemmli on September 17, 2018, 10:31:45 AM »Hey guys
I build a barometer that I can use for skydiving that mounts into my helmet.
The program works fine on a regular TinyScreen and now I wanted to change to a TinyScreen+ because it take less space inside the helmet.
The altimeter readings I get on the barometer are totally different on the TinyScreen+ and make no sense.
I have no idea what I do wrong....!?
I shortened the program to the very basics to find out what the problem could be. Other than the deleting the "Wire.begin();" statement and changing the "TinyScreen display = TinyScreen(TinyScreenPlus);"
is there anything else I need to change in the communication?
Any help is very much appreciated. Cheers Dan

General Discussion / Re: BMP file on Tinyscreen
« Last post by OO-MCP on September 16, 2018, 03:22:23 PM »Well, It's easy to use and I'm proud to see the picture on the tiny screen, but...I know it's a sketsh for video and i use it for a picture. With only one picture on the SD card there's no problem at all. Whenever there are more then one pictures on the SD card, the program wil display them one by one...in less then a second. So that's not going like I wish.
I see 2 lines in the code with delay (100) So I try to change the milisec with a bigger number. It does absolutly nothing to the speed in displaying the TSV pictures on the screen. How can i slow this down?

General Discussion / had to try 3 different usb cables
« Last post by littlejohn on September 15, 2018, 04:31:56 PM »just FYI, I was about to ask for help becuase my tinyscreen+ wasn't showing up at all when I plugged it in. I had tried two different USB micro cables on 2 different computers. Then I tried a 3rd cable, and now it is working fine. Touchy cables or touchy connector, I wonder.

Anyhow, I love it...great fun in trying to achieve something :-) :-) :-)

The process detailed in the tutorial works for displaying videos and images from a micro SD card. In my experience, still images just have to be saved as .gif files in order for the program to work properly. This can easily be done with other file formats by opening them in an image editing program such as Paint and saving them as a .gif file. After that, simply follow the tutorial above and you should be able to figure it out!
I hope this helps.

General Discussion / BMP file on Tinyscreen
« Last post by OO-MCP on September 12, 2018, 10:55:09 AM »Hi there. I'm trying to show a BMP file on the Tinyscreen, but all I get is...Well, nothing. No error messadge and black screen. Uploading the code is going well, but with no result, no display from the BMP file from the SD Card.
The code that I'm using is from Codebender https://codebender.cc/sketch:86070#TinyScreen_Bitmap_Display.ino
Changed both 1.bmp into the filenames on the SD Card. My hardware is the Tinyscreen with USB, batteryplug, buttons and switch and the SD Card print.
Displaying text is working well and I know how to write that code now.
Can anyone help me here?
Just pointing my nose in the correct direction would be fine.
Doing my best...but hey...maybe I'm too old to learn all this :-)

« Last post by lennevia on September 06, 2018, 10:25:02 AM »To answer your question, it's possible both hardware and software can cause garbage printing issues. The common software issue, as you saw, is the mismatch of baud rates between two communicating devices. The different rates of communication essentially become foreign languages as the data is receiving and transmitting independently and there is chaos, which gives us garbage.
A common hardware issue can occur when trying to communicate with more than two serial devices on one serial bus. When two devices communicate back and forth on one line, there is some order. When there are multiple devices communicating on one line, there is chaos, all devices could be speaking at once or none at all, again producing visual garbage on the Serial Monitor.
