General Discussion / breadboard for tinyduino,routing multiple wires to ground.

« on: October 26, 2014, 08:11:20 AM »

once you have protoshield and you know how to use the signals, and you need wiring.
I know how to use breadboard, however I dont know how to design a proper pcb circuit.

1. is there small thin breadboard for tiny duino that will be on top protoboard or can I make one easily?
2.almost all components needs to be routed to ground, there are 2-3 ground holes in proto shield,
how do solve it (in breadboard there are 2 rows  of ground )
3.is there a way  you send non professional sketches(basic wiring) to manufacture small amount say 10 circuit
at a reasonable price (below 100$)?

BTW-I'm not an electrical engineer thus the questions.

thankx

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / how to step up the voltage from 3V to 3.3/5 V.

« on: October 16, 2014, 12:31:37 PM »

I'm using coin battery of 3V.
however many of the components which i'd like to use favour  either 3.3V or 5V.

can anybody recommend me how step up the voltage by:

1. other batteries recommendations(the recommended batteries like CR 1632 are 3V which I currently use )
    perhaps with different voltages

2.some circuit or method to step up the voltage(cheaply and small)

3.Is GPIO voltages i3V no matter what power source you use?
   does tiny duino step down source voltage(like the 5V usb voltage) to 3v?

thnakx

A good option for this would be a neopixel, which is a single chip smart tricolor LED.  Adafruit has these:

Hi ken,

when i looked at the specs of several rgb leds breakout boards,  operating voltage is usually 5V
and i'm using 3V coin cell battery.

for instance in the the product specs you pointed to in adafuit is written:

5-9VDC power (can run at 3.5V but color will be dimmed),

New Product Ideas / seperate parts to put on proto-shield.

« on: October 06, 2014, 01:27:25 PM »

sometimes you need to put several parts on the single  upper shield to be interface and display for the product.

screen/leds/digit.-display
switches buttons - activation and interface
light sensors.(or other upper sensors that need to be exposed)

my suggestions
proto-shield that will include little display and place for other parts.
single parts that can be placed on easily on protoshield ,especially leds and switches buttons  and some kind of display(single digit for instance/text screen)

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / flat led for tiny duino.

« on: October 06, 2014, 01:15:18 PM »

i would like to put rgb led on proto,shield. ordinary through hole leds are bulky compared to the proto-shield.
I would like to know if there are single flat  led   i can use on the proto shield.
(like the ones on led shield) or any advice where to buy one.

switches buttons will be welcomed.

tinylily actually have those parts(leds switches) but a bit big and I don't know if i can use them.

BTW congradulations to tiny-circuits on it's success on the kickstarter.

New Product Ideas / 3 ideas- tiny lcd and uv sensor and cad file/printed box for the circuit.

« on: September 03, 2014, 03:46:55 AM »

 tiny lcd/eink/othertechnology  display for text/pics.
current displays in tiny form factor are hard to find.

uv sensor  that outputs uva/uvb index.

cad file for printed box/ or "real "plastic box for the circuit so you can package it nicely.
either sold or a file that you can set sizes for those who are to familiar with cad.

best regards

jossie.

« on: July 23, 2014, 09:05:44 AM »

Yes, I need exactly those ribbons. or methods to combine the circuits to length not just height.

are the connectors propiraty or ribbons cab be bought in a store(I guess no)
