Sorry- we don't want anybody to be that frustrated with our product. All products have some failures, we can't get around that, but we support what we ship- you're entitled to a repair, replacement, refund, or however you want us to handle it- just ask.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi- The TinyTris source code is a good place to start( https://github.com/francescom/Tinytris-For-TinyArcade ). We should add this to our basic game tutorial, I'll see if that's possible- we're currently updating documentation etc for a new revision(mainly changes to improve assembly).

Thanks,
Ben

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Re: Getting Watch tutorial working with latest BLE boards

« on: May 03, 2017, 07:24:57 PM »

Really sorry- we had a miscommunication here and started shipping with ST boards before the watch code example was finished, and we haven't received any questions through email support so I was not aware of it. We might not have the new code published for a week or more. It's definitely an option for us to ship you a Nordic BLE board- please send an email to info@tinycircuits.com if so.

Thanks,
Ben

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Re: "Motor driver not detected!" ??

« on: May 03, 2017, 07:13:30 PM »

This was resolved through support, but if there's a fourth motor output, it's our old 4x motor driver and needs different software compared to the dual motor driver

Unfortunately Tiny Arcade can't support a USB device like this, although it would be really cool.

Hi again- sorry about the slow response, thank you very much for the development of your games and publishing so much, we are very happy to publish it of course.

I thought I saw a scaling/rotating example on your site at some point, that was working but slow- did I imagine that? Is it something we could investigate optimizing?

Thanks,
Ben

Unfortunately there are not- Tiny Arcade does not have enough processing power.

Ah- the cap on top is a custom printed part. Are you interested in a replacement or more information about it?

Are you aware the USB TinyShield uses an actual FTDI chipset rather than CH34x? I don't think those drivers will work. Are you sure the system is seeing a USB device at all? Do you have any other cables or Arduino boards to test against? I think there were some issues with Sierra early on, but haven't heard much for a while. I can do some digging if you're still stuck.

Thanks,
Ben

Ah- you should be able to get back to the bootloader by holding both buttons while powering up.

Sure- the newer navigation switch is SKRHABE010, the old analog versions is 254SA104B50B. They're available on Digikey or Mouser. However if there's an issue we should fix, let me know.

Not sure how the original is compiling- try including '<TimeLib.h>', it usually helps avoid conflicts between the Time library and the standard time.h file.

« on: March 30, 2017, 06:03:48 PM »

Depending on what is displayed, the TinyScreen+ can draw 30-60mA. So, about 3 hours on the 150mAh battery, and about 10 hours on a 500mAh battery. It's usually used with our 270mAh battery for about 5 hours of use.

General Discussion / Re: IMU LSM9DS1 with SD Card logger

« on: March 22, 2017, 04:13:04 PM »

Have you checked out SdFat? It may be the 'older lightweight' library you are mentioning, but now it's a bit less lightweight but fully supports FAT32 etc.

You should be able to utilize the 32K flash space fully, what typically causes crashes is too many global variables in the 2K memory. Especially when using an SD card, which often needs a 512 byte buffer.

What may make it much easier is to log the raw 9 axis data rather than the calculated fusion data, if it fits your application- then you can focus on actually logging the data.

User Projects / Code Examples / Re: Use UBLOX NEO-m8N with TinyDuino?

« on: March 22, 2017, 04:08:09 PM »

Tough to guess what's going on with that hardware, does it need some sort of wake up signal? Otherwise it should be possible, have you noted the 38400 baud rate?
