General Discussion / Re: When do I get My package

« on: January 26, 2015, 02:44:55 PM »

I have the same question.

I know I was part of the Kickstarter campaign for Tinyscreens and also did a preorder. The original gifting/preorder was shown for January. Received a message that they charged my credit card in December. Still have no finalization for a ship date. I am hoping someone here can provide an update on when these orders might be starting. Thank you!

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Tinyscreen

« on: December 19, 2014, 08:15:44 AM »

I know there is some details on the new Tinyscreen resolution and screen dimensions. Is there any information on the overall shield dimensions for it? Is it equivalent to the LED shields? I have a few screens coming from the Kickstarter campaign and itching with anticipation. I have a few standard casings I have 3D printed for projects and was wondering if I need to make any mods. Thanks in advance for any info.

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Re: 433MHz radio TinyShield locator?

Well based on the specs, Tiny Circuits plans to have a RF range of over 500 meters. This is about 1/3 of a mile. What could be really cool is to use the the 433MHz radio shield with the GPS shield and have it transmit coordinates to another Tinyduino with the Tinyscreen display This can then give updates on location. Add another GPS unit to the receiver and it could calculate how far away and which direction to travel.

Any help here? This is still a quandary of mine. With the tight form factor, I am hesitant to mess with the motherboard.

New Product Ideas / Re: TinyDuino Ribbon Cable Shield - so that shields can be stacked sideways

The more I play with Tinyduino, the more I see a need for a ribbon cable. It would add alot of versatility to the powerful little device.

A THP sensor would be an awesome edition to this product line.

I found the solutions.

1. The x, y, z outputs are in no way equivalent and need to be scaled appropriately. When looking for max/min ranges, did not consider that one or more values may never slip under 0. I always had one axis give positive numbers regardless of rotation. Fixed code.

2. The -4096 value though is a read error. Was able to minimize it with mounting the boards in a more permanent fixture.

Patience is the key, but what was the solution? Was it a loose connection, code error, etc.?

I have that board and it does indeed have a connector on the top and bottom allowing a pass through for other shields like the LED shields.

It is the same as an Uno. It has 32k flash, 2k RAM, and 1k eeprom.

Hi Oronymo,

I have not played with the servo control before, but the specs show it only using A3. You should still have 5 other analog pins. You can master/slave Tinydruino together. There is another forum post that shows an example. Hope that helps.

Hi Chuck,

You can use the TinyShield Proto Terminal Blocks. It will give you the pins off the sides, but still let you use the led shield. However, it is a bit bulkier than the other shields.

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / On/Off Switch

« on: May 15, 2014, 11:08:57 AM »

I feel like I am a complete newbie here in asking, but what is the best way to add an on/off switch to the TinyDuino Processing Board? To maintain battery life, I would like to be able to turn it off when not in use. I have a nice enclosure for it, so I do not wish to have to have to pull open the enclosure and remove the battery each time.
