Campaign link: http://igg.me/at/tinusaur Project link: / A small robot car that you could build yourself and program it to follow a black line on the floor. A small game platform, that you could build and program yourself. Those are the Tinusaur project goodies. They can help you learn, teach and make things with microcontrollers, and have … Read more
What is the Tinusaur project about? Here we will explain it to you step-by-step.
UPDATE: There is an updated version of the Arduino Setup Guide at our new website https://tinusaur.com/guides/arduino-ide-tinusaur-setup/ We’ve recently discovered a bug in our Arduino IDE package that will cause an error when you try to compile your code. We have a fix for it and the only thing you need to do is to update … Read more
Last week we’ve launched our Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign and, as of a few minutes ago, we’ve reached 1/3-rd of our goal already. 🙂 In case you’re not familiar what the Tinusaur project is about … A small board with a tiny chip on it that comes as an assembly kit – a small package with parts and you … Read more
There was another “Microcontrollers, soldering and Tinusaur” workshop in our town of Veliko Tarnovo, a few days ago. On the first day, we assembled some boards, the second day we wrote some programs. For the younger kids, there were much simpler things to do – soldering blinking LED with 2 transistors, a few other components, and … Read more
UPDATE: There is an updated version of the Arduino Setup Guide at our new website https://tinusaur.com/guides/arduino-ide-tinusaur-setup/ This is a short guide how to setup the Arduino IDE to work with the Tinusaur boards. What it does basically is to make it work with the Atmel ATtiny85/45/25 microcontrollers. The only difference is that it will appear … Read more
These are questions that we’re often asked: How is it better than ****** ? How is it different from ****** ? First of all you should not compare the Tinusaur powered by Atmel ATtiny85 microcontroller to things like Raspberry Pi (or any other platform running 32/64-bit RISK processor) or Arduino (running on ATmega or similar). In fact, the Tinusaur should … Read more
Ever wanted to do a project with that cheap DHT11 temperature/humidity sensor and did not want to go the Arduino way but with a simple ATtiny85? You probably know already about the issues with the existing Arduino based libraries running on the ATtiny microcontrollers, but can’t deal with them. TinuDHT is our answer to this. TinuDHT is a … Read more
UPDATE: There is an updated version of the Arduino Setup Guide at our new website https://tinusaur.com/guides/arduino-ide-tinusaur-setup/ We have put together a short guide how to setup and use Arduino IDE for programming the Attiny85 microcontroller and the Tinusaur Board in particular. Note: This guide was tested under Microsoft Windows 8.1 operating system. Note: The example source code was tested on ATtiny85 … Read more
