User Projects / Code Examples / Tiny+ Thermostat Project

« on: October 06, 2018, 05:53:28 PM »

Since i'm not happy with the thermostat on on my rv, I decided to build a new one. Basic Components are.
TinyScreen+
Custom Interface Board.
 Major components on the i/o board are
2 NO switches
Opto Isolator with transistor output Or smt SSR
Connectors for power, output of Opto-Isolator and connection for DS18B20 temp sensor.

Program allows for setting Temp set point. Has predefined sleep mode, OFF/ON hysterisis, Attached is a pic.

General Discussion / Stacking Connector

« on: September 22, 2018, 01:24:17 AM »

I am building a expansion module for a TinyScreen+ for use in a Refrigerator Thermostat project. I tried the HIRose stackable connector DF12-32DS-0.5V(86) , for the expansion male connector. It does not seat fully into the TinyScreen+ female connector, OR ANY Tiny Circuits Female stackable connector.

Trying to find a source, part# for a correctly mating connector.

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / TinyScreen+ Physical dimensions

« on: September 20, 2018, 01:32:00 AM »

I have been building a Thermostat project for the refrigerator in my RV. The circuit is built and tested as functional. It is comprised of a TS+ with a custom expansion board which contains the added circuitry and switches. I am beginning to layout a cnc milled enclosure. From a previous topic, TS+ eagle files, and the data sheet for the display module, I was able to get the required thicknesses and basic measurements. but am still missing a few key measurements.

I am looking for the measured placement of the display module on the TS+ board. The TS+ board is 25.0 x 25.8, the OLED itself is 25.70 × 22.20, the OLED viewable area is 20.14 x 13.42. Primary question, what are the X,Y coordinates of the bottom left corner of the Viewable Area in relation the TS+ Circuit board 0,0 coordinates.

I would appreciate any assistance.

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / TinyScreen Artifacts after text replacement

« on: July 20, 2018, 04:05:30 PM »

I'm developing a Thermostat controller for my RV fridge. The display has a Static border and some static text. On the display I am displaying 2 variables. A set temp and a actual temp. The Actual temp varies. When a new value is written to the display It will at times leave artifacts of the previous value.  Value of 68.88 being replaced with 65.01 will leave artifacts of the 68.88 on the trailing edge. Is there a method to just blank out the previous text. I tried doing a draw rectangle filled, but it would make the temp number constantly flash. I'm at a loss at this point.
I've attached a txt file with the project code and would appreciate any insight. BTW the set temp routine has not been fleshed out yet.

Thanks
