Title: Tiniest possible arduino
Post by: thesko on July 12, 2018, 10:31:07 AM
Recently I've discovered this design for a 0.4" x 0.4" arduino compatible board:

Recently, I came across the schematic for a tiny arduino-compatible board measuring just 0.41 by 0.41 millimeters (0.4 by 0.41 inches), called a Tinyduino, and perhaps powered by a coin-cell battery. baldi's basics (https://baldisbasics.io/)
really? great

My proposal:

  • a similarily sized Tinyduino, possibly powered by a small battery cell
  • a neopixel addon board which can be soldered to the bottom side of the board (using spacers)

So cool

Cool thank you.

Your proposal for a Tinyduino-like board with an add-on NeoPixel module sounds like an excellent compact design concept!

Using a small battery cell is a great idea, but make sure to consider power management to maximize battery life, especially with neopixels, which can draw significant current.

This is a really cool idea! A Tinyduino that small could open up tons of possibilities for ultra-compact projects. The idea of adding a neopixel board is awesome too, though, like you mentioned, power management will be key—neopixels can drain a battery fast, especially in compact setups. If you could implement some sort of low-power mode or dynamic brightness control, that could really help extend battery life. Excited to see how this could evolve!
