General Discussion / Re: TinyScreen+ Sleep Mode Question

Looks like it....let me check it out further...if it, indeed is, consider offering it to all of those of us who would like to reduce the power consumption of this processor.

Thanks again....

Réna,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Now to a related question....

Can one get a hold of some sort of RTC (Real Time Clock) interrupt software to 'wake up' the processor. - I'm thinking of once each second.   This solution would suit many applications and peripheral types that only use the I2C bus.

Thanks again,

-john

General Discussion / TinyScreen+ Sleep Mode Question

« on: January 21, 2023, 01:57:53 PM »

Can the TinyScreen+ board be woken up by an external accelerometer signal (interrupt, I suppose) instead of one of the push buttons as this link suggests  ... https://tinycircuits.com/blogs/learn/tinyscreen-external-interrupt-sleep-mode?_pos=1&_sid=7de2a5d9b&_ss=r

That is, without any hardware changes...just software.

Thanks,

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Re: #include "src/IRremote/IRremote.h"

OK...I think I see the difference...there are actually two (2) Tiny TV video player Arduino S/W files on the website....they are...

//  TinyCircuits TinyTV Video Player - that uses the IR controller and probably is the one that goes into the 3D printed TV
and
//  TinyCircuits Tiny Arcade Video Player - that doesn't - and is sort of a stand-alone board set that can work with the Arcade

I guess I compiled the latter (//  TinyCircuits Tiny Arcade Video Player) that is somewhat different from the former

Thanks!....but what is this https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Kits/Tiny-Video-Player-Kit_Tutorial/

It came with all the tabs at the top and I got it to compile instantly and see videos...which is which??

That works (thanks!)....but now I'm getting a  tcConfigure(30720) was not declared in this scope (see below)....and after commenting that line below out, it pops up another "readCodes() not declared in this scope" message on another instruction....I'm attempting to simply compile TinyTV....what am I missing.  -john

void setup(void) {
  analogWrite(A0, analogRead(A0));//Set audio output to avoid picking up noise, even if audio isn't used
//  tcConfigure(30720);
  display.begin();
  display.setBitDepth(1);
  display.setFlip(true);
  display.setFont(thinPixel7_10ptFontInfo);
  display.initDMA();
  irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
  pinMode(RECV_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP);
  SPI.begin();
  delay(50);
  if (!sd.begin(10, SPI_FULL_SPEED)) {
    cardNotFound();
  }
  SPI.setClockDivider(0);
  if (display.getButtons(TSButtonUpperRight)) {
    delay(10);
    if (display.getButtons(TSButtonUpperRight)) {
      settingsMainMenu();
    }
  }
  readCodes();
  readSettings();
  if (!fullVolume) {
    volume = 3;

Thanks Réna...but help me out here...how does one go about putting the contents of the folder into the Arduino lib??

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / #include "src/IRremote/IRremote.h"

Since the TinyCircuits TinyTV Video Player (Arduino code) has the #include "src/IRremote/IRremote.h" ...where can one find the lib?


Thanks,

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Re: Tiny TV Remote Power ON-OFF

« on: July 21, 2022, 06:12:22 PM »

Réna,

Then based on your comments, can one assume that this is the part of the code that does the Tiny TV ON-OFF without the power switch?

-john

  if (IRresult == powerCode || checkNewButtonPress(TSButtonLowerLeft)) {
    if (!isOff) {
      if (!isStopped()) {
        requestPause();
        delay(10);
        display.endTransfer();
      }
      display.off();
      isOff = true;
    } else {
      display.on();
      if (!isStopped()) {
        display.goTo(0, 0);
        display.startData();
        requestUnPause();
      }
      isOff = false;
    }
  }

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Tiny TV Remote Power ON-OFF

« on: July 21, 2022, 03:05:17 PM »

Question....does either the remote control or OLED push button actually turn power OFF; i.e., no battery power to the circuitry...or...does this simply blank the display as in display.off()

Is this the Tiny TV software that's loaded onto the OLED board??

General Discussion / newer Nordic BLE module

« on: July 09, 2021, 06:25:01 PM »

Would your newer TinyCircuits Nordic BLE module be the Nordic Semiconductor nrf52811 with 32bit ARM processor and integrated Bluetooth Low Energy communication?   

Like in this product https://flightsketch.com/store/catalog/flightsketch-mini_1/

Thanks,

John
