Over the next few days we will be updating the design of our website. That will be primarily the theme but also few other things. We couldn’t find a way to put the website in “maintenance mode” so some weird things may be visible from time to time until we finish the update. Wish us luck! … Read more
Is there anything special about this board? No! Absolutely nothing. Even though the Tinusaur is a very simple thing it has its advantages as well as disadvantages that need to be addressed. It is a platform that is simple and easy to understand for everyone – perfect for a quick start and in learning how to create things. … Read more
In this post are discussed some of principals used while designing this board. Size and form factor The goal of making this board is not to have a smaller or the smallest PCB that runs on ATtiny. The goal is to have a board that could be used for prototyping simple projects as well as … Read more
This is the Tinusaur Proto v0.1 m2 that I just finished and sent it to OSHPark for fabrication. You can look at the latest schematics on http://123d.circuits.io at this address: http://123d.circuits.io/circuits/66662. Below are the schematics and the PCB design, for reference.
The new prototype PCBs just arrived from OSHPark – great quality as usual. I noticed that there are only few things that I may change before call it official: slightly move some components around so they fit better and become easier to solder; add one jumper for switch on/off the optional button cell battery on … Read more
I have finally managed to finish the first version of the schematics and PCB‘s and to order the first 3 pieces. This work is based on some previous experiments and designs. Schematics The schematics is nothing special – it is the well known minimal configuration for the ATtiny plus just few addition components – some of them … Read more
