This is a short 2-minute video explaining what is the Tinusaur project about, who is it good for and what you could do with its microcontroller and shield boards. The Tinusaur is a small microcontroller board with a tiny chip on it. The Tinusaur board is powered by the popular Atmel ATtiny85 microcontroller. It comes as … Read more
This Saturday, September 2nd, we will have one day workshop for assembling the Tinusaur kits for those who supported our Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. It will take place in Varna, Bulgaria, our host will be VarnaLab – the local hackerspace. We will learn the basics of electronic components, microcontrollers – ATtiny85 in particular and, of course, … Read more
You may ask “How am I going to connect the Tinusaur Board to a breadboard for a quick start or prototyping?”. Well, in most cases you won’t need a breadboard and the reason for that is the way the Tinusaur Board has been designed with 2 2-row headers that give you enough pins to do … Read more
The Tinusaur Project is used in schools, universities, and clubs around the world. In Formal Education The Tinusaur Project is already getting traction in the field of the Formal learning. In 2016 it was considered and later officially selected as the platform for the “Microcontrollers and embedded devices” class in St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo, … Read more
What is the Tinusaur project about? Here we will explain it to you step-by-step.
Dragging and dropping blocks on a web page that generates real C code which gets compiled on the cloud and then uploaded locally to your microcontroller. Does that sound interesting to you? Well, we’ve done it. Kind of. We called it Blocktinu. A couple of weeks ago me (Neven Boyanov) and my friend Geroge (Georgi Marinov) participated … 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’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
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
Our first workshop for this year took place couple of weeks ago in Plovdiv at Hackafe. It was part of a much larger event about microcontrollers, robotics and internet-of-things. This time, it was for 2 days and in 3 parts. Part 1 (day 1) was an introduction to the microcontrollers for everyone that was just … Read more
