The Blocktinu is the development environment for your Tinusaur microcontroller boards where you could use blocks to produce real C programming language source code. As you move your blocks (on the left) to implement your algorithms, the source code (on the right) will be automatically updated. Pretty neat, huh? Now you can start learning the C programming … Read more
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
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
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.
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
2016 has been a great year! Over 20 workshops, lectures, seminars, courses. One Indiegogo campaign. Hundreds of people started using the Tinusaur platform. So, what’s next? Our Q1 goal: Launch new Indiegogo campaign in February to produce 1000 Tinusaur kits and bring the cost down to $2 per basic kit. This will make our boards … 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
