Thumby / Using VSCode instead of Thonny...
Last post by electricbrass - March 03, 2026, 03:48:56 PMMy little brother really wants me to teach him Python so that he can make games for the Thumby Color. I've been trying to get things set up so that I can get started and figure out some of the basics first, but I was wondering if anyone has had any luck using VSCode instead of Thonny or the web editor. I've tried using the Serial Monitor extension but haven't had any luck connecting. Does anyone know what settings are needed to connect to the serial console? And does anyone know of any extensions that provide easy access to the Thumby Color's filesystem like in Thonny?

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Interfacing Extensions
Last post by chrvik36 - February 27, 2026, 01:37:51 PMCan other boards be interfaced with these tinycircuit devices? I'd try to connect RaspberryPi boards to them, or others. Does anyone know any of these?

TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / GPS Board
Last post by wayne1br@gmail.com - February 15, 2026, 08:06:40 PMFeb 15, 2026
Does the Tinycircuits board with the GPS system have a replacement? I see that it has been discontinued. Is this board / functionality too nefarious? I don't know if there will be a revision to this board, or if that type of functionality will be dropped entirely?? I was hoping that a new revision would be available soon, possibly?

New Product Ideas / Thumby Advance
Last post by JamezGamez - February 11, 2026, 08:58:36 AMAlr, I know it wouldn't be very practical, but wouldn't it be cute if we had a Thumby that used little rewritable game cards (with an adapter for changing files!) to be able to play games, like the OG Game Boy?

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Re: TinyTV 2 Stuck On Static
Last post by rfish - January 27, 2026, 10:20:53 AMQuote from: escapeethical on January 26, 2026, 08:32:18 PMHey! We ran into something similar with ours—try doing a full power cycle first (turn it off, unplug it, and let it sit for a minute before turning it back on). If that doesn't work, there's usually a tiny reset pinhole on the back or bottom you can press with a paperclip to factory reset it. That cleared the static issue for us, so hopefully it does the trick for your son too!
Where can I find the reset button on the tinyTV2?

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Tiny Tv 2: Static when video l...
Last post by rfish - January 24, 2026, 04:36:36 PMHello,
For some reason, i noticed my looped video of a fireplace (~10 secs long) plays the static animation with sound and shows the channel number when the loop begins. It's pretty annoying because it kind of ruins the purpose of ambient noise. This is not the pre-installed video. I also noticed that it does this with my other longer videos. This did not happen when i first got the tinytv. I have already deleted any hidden files on my mac. Any ideas on what's going on and how i can fix it?

General Discussion / Re: Images on games
Last post by beargaiters - January 21, 2026, 03:50:28 AMThe image must be very small (often 16×16, 32×32, or 72×40 depending on the device). The image usually needs to be:
Monochrome (1-bit)
Or converted to a byte array in code
The icon must be explicitly referenced in your game's source code (it won't auto-detect images). After adding the icon, you must recompile and reflash the game — uploading files alone won't change the icon.
