Last post by William - October 24, 2025, 07:31:18 PM

I recently ordered a Tiny Video Player Kit and a separate remote. Can I use the remote with this kit. If so, what do I need to do to get it working. Thanks so much.

After doing some searching, I found two sellers that sell the needed 5-pin screw terminals. Screw terminals are my preference, but 5-pin headers (the style used on Arduino shields) will work as well.

The first seller is Adafruit/Digi-Key. I'll provide both links wordle unlimited - Adafruit is currently out of stock, but their page references to purchase it from Digi-Key, which appears to have the part in-stock. From both Adafruit and Digi-Key, a single 5-pin screw terminal is $1.85.

https://www.adafruit.com/product/2139
https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/adafruit-industries-llc/2139/6827102

The second seller is on Amazon, sold by Cermant. I've had good experience with Amazon-bought products before. A particular advantage for cost-efficiency is that Cermant offers the terminals in a bundle, which results in significantly cheaper costs per piece (the bundle of 10 pieces is $8.99, but per piece is $0.45).

(https://www.amazon.com/Cermant-XK128-2-54MM-Terminal-Connector-2-54MM-5P-10Pcs/dp/B09BVFT6MN/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1XWPYJFVLVE2T&keywords=5-pin%2Bscrew%2Bterminal&qid=1681835160&sprefix=5-pin%2Bscrew%2Btermin%2Caps%2C596&sr=8-6&th=1)

Both options are rated for very high voltages and high currents. The first option handles 5A, the second, 6A.

Great find on the 5-pin screw terminals! That Amazon bundle from Cermant is a steal at $0.45/piece. Definitely beats the Adafruit/Digi-Key price.

How were you able to change the maximum number of files?

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Re: How to Measure TinyZero Ba...

Last post by bibletech55 - October 16, 2025, 09:41:24 PM

Thank you for the additional info! So the MKR Zero board defines (as a macro) the term ADC_BATTERY, while the TinyZero does not.

Fix it by checking the TinyZero schematic to find the ADC pin used for battery sense...

I double-checked the schematic again, but I couldn't find any analog pins for the circuits with the following headings:

• Lithium Battery Charger
• Battery Connections
• Power

However, at this time, there is what appears to be a voltage divider next to the circuit "BMA250 Accelerometer". This voltage divider seems to output to pin AD4. Is this the correct analog pin? If so, how do I translate AD4 to the proper input term for analogRead()?

TinyZero's variant does not expose ADC_BATTERY so the symbol is undefined.

After searching on GitHub, I was able to find the variant for the MKR Zero, but not the TinyZero. Does the TinyZero not have a variant on GitHub? Could that be why ADC_BATTERY was not defined for the TinyZero?

I could not find a search Icon so forgive me if this has been posted many times.

Is there a UK supplier?

Usually the description or display is in the TinyCircuits Thumby product. The "Play & program" section and API documentation, MicroPython / Blockly programming guide are probably the information you need.

Is there a Settings Menu on the Tiny TV 2 that I can access?

Not sure how to get to it.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Joe — try right-clicking the TSV Converter and choosing Open to bypass Gatekeeper. Make sure it's the latest version from TinyCircuits' site. If it still won't launch, run it via Terminal or contact TinyCircuits support for a demo TSV file to test.

New Product Ideas / Re: Lidar Lite v3 Tiny Circuit

Last post by larrygrichards - October 06, 2025, 01:22:37 AM

Yeah, I totally get that! The Lidar Lite v3 is great, but that $150 price tag really hurts. A smaller, more affordable Tiny Lidar version would be awesome, something compact but still accurate enough for small robotics or DIY projects. Hopefully, someone makes one soon!
