General Discussion / mDNS Library

« on: February 26, 2021, 06:56:21 PM »

Does anyone know of a good mDNS library that will work with the TinyZero?

I've written a sketch for bi-directional UDP communication between my iPhone and  my TinyZero with WiFi Shield. It works well, but the TinyZero has a default host name of "winc-42-f2". Catchy huh? I'd like to set a custom host name, but I can't find a mDNS library that will work. I've tried MDNS_Generic, but when I follow its guidelines, the resulting IP Address is 0.0.0.0.

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / TinyZero with NeoPixels

« on: June 14, 2019, 01:27:23 PM »

I am using a TinyZero with the Tiny WiFi Shield to create a web host on my local network. This lets one use any browser to query and control the TinyZero. For example, turn on a LED or a NeoPixel (a WS2812B). This works well when the TinyZero is connected to USB for power, but not when it's solely on fully-charged battery power (150mAh lithium-ion)  The LED will still turn on with battery power, but the NeoPixel will not turn on.

USB Power: LED and NeoPixel
Battery power: LED only

Why is this happening?
And how can I illuminate one or more NeoPixels without requiring a connection to USB power?

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Adapt WiFi Module ESP8266 code for use with Tiny WiFi Shield

I want to try out Pushsafer www.pushsafer.com using my Tiny WiFi Shield, but their SendEvent example uses the ESP8266WiFi.h library.

Has anyone adapted a sketch that uses the ESP8266WiFi.h library to use the WiFi101.h library instead?

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / TinyZero with LED

« on: April 23, 2019, 12:11:06 PM »

When I connect an LED to an Arduino digital pin, I usually put a 220-ohm resistor in series. However, since the TinyZero is 3.3v instead of 5v, is that still necessary?
