TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Re: TinyTV 2 Stuck On Static

Last post by alicesphere - March 10, 2026, 10:24:10 AM

Hey! 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?

It's on the back of the device

Thumby / Thumb Commander

Last post by Tobyzafa - March 08, 2026, 12:21:20 AM

Thumb Commander will not work on my stock Thumby Color. What am I missing? Are there any plugins I need to get this up and running?

That sounds great! I'll try installing it on Thumby Color to test it out. If I encounter any bugs or have any ideas for improving gameplay, I'll let you know. 👍

Thumby / Re: Importing files

Last post by muchpile6768s - March 06, 2026, 02:39:22 AM

Hello,
I've been working on developing a game for about a week, but I'm encountering some problems with importing separate files. I would greatly appreciate any help!
Directory Structure:
Code Select Expand

Code Select Expand

/
    Games
        BattleGame
            BattleGame.py
            characters.py
            moves.pyShould I keep everything in a single file? I've noticed that most other games are structured this way. I'd prefer to separate data from the game logic, but I don't want to compromise on resources. How can I import a file from the same game directory? I keep encountering a "module not found" error no matter what I try.
I've tried the following:
Code Select Expand top games

Code Select Expand

from moves import moves
from Games.BattleGame.moves import moves

It looks like your structure should work, but the issue is probably related to how you're running the script. If you run **BattleGame.py** directly, Python may not treat the parent folders as packages. One common fix is to add an empty `__init__.py` file inside the **Games** and **BattleGame** folders so Python recognizes them as modules. Then you can usually import with something like `from moves import moves` if the files are in the same directory. Another option is running the script from the project root and using `from Games.BattleGame.moves import moves`. In general, keeping files separated like you're doing is actually good practice, especially as the project grows, so I wouldn't recommend putting everything into one file.

I tested it for a bit, and the controls feel responsive overall. Maybe add a very short visual or sound cue right before difficult jumps so it feels more fair.

The bigger issue now is that I get constant warnings over unresolved modules. Are there pyi files available for the engine anywhere?

Last post by electricbrass - March 03, 2026, 03:48:56 PM

My 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 PM

Can 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?
