Glad I found this site, was about to give up and buy a new controller. Battery fit perfect and arrived fast.
Didn't get it installed, defective device. Looks ten times the quality of the battery I took out.
Hanging on to it, may find a need for it later. By the way, very fast delivery.
We had a question and emailed. Had a quick response,ordered. Super quick shipping and part was as described.
First one did not work (could not program the device). TinyCircuts was kind enough to send me a replacement and that one worked!
It was so easy to assemble that my 6 year old participated in the assembly as we watched the video instructions. That was the point of ordering this, so that he can be inspired and participate in building it. It is really cool that this is just like a little television. My son enjoyed playing with it and watching the videos. He's so excited that he helped assemble it that he wants to bring it to show and tell.
I expected to have to do a lot but the process of getting a video playing that I had uploaded was much easier than I anticipated.
I filmed video on my iPhone. Emailed it to myself. Downloaded and converted the video to the custom TSV format, uploaded to the SD card and voila!
Most 500 mAh lipos are wide. This is narrow.
This was an awesome and easy to put together kit. Everything fit together and worked well. It was the hot ticket at the family White Elephant Gift Exchange. I ripped a few holiday favorites from DVD - it was excellent to see the Grinch reptile-sliding around in miniature.
I don't necessarily recommend model paints, at least not last minute, hunched over and air curing in a cold garage. I tested with a brown sharpie and think that would have been easier, more precise and accurate. I only had a fine point so tried the model paints and cheap brushes at Michaels and that did not serve me well. "Why is it sticky?"
Not sure about the beige contrast color - perhaps a colored pencil if you're careful.
You can try your finishes out on the inside back of the case.
I don't have any pictures, but I've ordered and received my second kit so will see if I can upload pictures when I put that one together and try an alternate finish.
The kit assembled quickly and easily I was able to easily convert a video and add it to the SD card. The only problem is that once you insert the card you can't retrieve it again. The plastic grabs onto the boards quite tightly and I feels like unsnapping the boards to remove them would break something. I was eventually able to coax the card out with SMD assembly tweezers (that not any epole have) and I added a flag made of electrical tape to hang out of the bottom of the TV so I couold pull the card as needed Other than not having a way of pulling the card,I'd have to say this was the perfect hac.
I was super excited about getting the Tiny TV and this kit did not disappoint. Very easy to build. The instructions are a video (I am not a fan of video only instructions). Of course you can rewind and pause, which I did NUMEROUS times. Overall only took a few minutes to build. Be careful getting the board into the 3D printed TV (amazing detail on that tiny print ). You still have access to the micro USB port and the micro SD card slots. Once built I am not sure you can safely unbuild it to be able to use the electronics in another housing (I had wanted to try and build something out of LEGO, oh well). It is the perfect scale to go with LEGO minifigures so no worries for me there. Right now I am still having fun with the included video clips, but will be adding my own soon as well.
Easy to assemble, and the tiny remote works well. Will be painting the enclosure to have a vintage faux wood grain exterior.
Got it working Coupla years ago
Have new sub-orbital use for it and will
be bring it up again if I can
Got the Tiny TV, Tiny Piano as teasers to spark interest in electronics and programming for my kids. They did the trick, both were accepted with enthusiasm and the desire for more. Already have them converting their own videos for use. Worth the investment.
I plan to conduct classes on creating smart clothes based on Arduino Lily for labor teachers.
I bought 2 of these long range 433 transmitters to do some
development work in IoT
TinyCircuits are simply smaller than anything else with
these flexible capabilities.
I have had good luck in the past with BLE and GPS
modules.
So over this cheerful season I will be digging into
long distance comms.

I loved it but i ave problems with uploading the new games on to an micro sd card to the arcade but besides that its fun. (my favorite game is tiny shutter:) )
A neat little kit; easy to assemble and fun to play with. Works great; all features operate well, about 1 minute and you're ready to play!
Awesome little unit! Easy to assemble without instructions. The only trouble I've noted is that the unit turns itself on while charging (don't know why?). Otherwise it works great; really bright lights.
What a great little device. Can’t wait to convert a movie and try it out on something new. The included videos are fun as well. Great addition to my other tiny kits. Thanks Tiny Circuits!
Going to use this for a N (1:160) scale model video billboard. Haven't tried to add video only tested and plays the 30+ish seconds of video preloaded just fine. Your not going to get any Hi-def on it but it is tiny after all. Has 6 channels preloaded may be able to add more channels not sure yet.Remote works well and is also tiny. Screen battery was charged when received. Kudos to the inventors for including the elusive $2 8gb memory card so you can use/test right out of the box if needed. Be careful with the spindly console TV legs when installing the screen. Love it! Going to buy a bunch more when available....
I never had any doubts that I would like it but it was better than I expected. It's easy to assemble though the online instructions were a little tricky to find, at least for me. I would recommend that if you plan to paint it, and painting adds a lot to the final presentation, do so before assembly.
Highly recommended.
This is such a fun little desk item. People have been marveling at it and shocked when I show them it works. Put the entire Star Wars movie on it so makes a great demo. Only two issues, wish the speaker was louder and wish the 3D printed housing was made in brown or silver. Would look a lot nicer then the stark white. I thought about painting it but wasn't sure how the side buttons would hold up.
Great item, looking forward to what's next.
My device was no longer manufactured. New, it cost me almost $400. The internal battery had died and this replacement matched the old battery specs exactly. After I installed the new battery pack, plugged it into the PC board, and put the device back together, it worked perfectly, for a tiny fraction of the device’s original cost.
This is probably the best kit so far. I have the pocket and tiny arcades but the real great addition to the tine tv is the very realistic case. Really easy to put together and great functionality.
Now if you could develop a case for the pocket arcade. Maybe even a new tiny arcade case too, not that the case that came with it is terrible but you could get more realism.
This should prove an interesting gift for my daughter in law who’s an Electrical Engineer and reasonably accomplished musician. I look forward to her feed back.

As advertised, the battery fits great with the 20 x 20 mm format tiny Arduino boards. I'm very satisfied.
Hello, anyone knows how to play a video on loop automatically after turning the tiny screen on?
Thank you
The shield works fine, easy as pie to attach wires and string everything together.
But ... I missed this note: "The terminal blocks will make it not possible to plug a USB Cable into a Side Mount USB TinyShield. Plan to use the Top Side Mount USB TinyShield instead."
The solder joints underneath this board extend out such that you can't plug in a USB cable into the programming board undermeath it. This means you can't have this shield and the programming board on at the same time. Perhaps another solution is for this shield to be redesigned by rotating the connectors 90 degrees such that the solder joints aren't over a normal USB programming shield?
In any case, to solve this problem, search for "Top Side Mount USB TinyShield". This is a normal "USB TinyShield" but set the "USB Connector" option to "Top" $14.95.
Picked a couple of mp4 clips, did conversion in Windows 10 under Parallels on iMac. Worked immediately since necessary software was already on unit. Started to see if I could do conversion directly on iMac but the necessary files are not ready for the latest MacOS, and the whole process is painful. Whereas, I have been surprised over the last couple of years how few problems I have had running Parallels and Windows 10 on my Mac. I sometimes program with a PICKIT3 and amazingly it runs in this environment. Nevertheless, the PICKIT3 also runs directly from IPE on the iMac.
For me, this product does not really seem useful but who knows. It was lots of fun anyway.
Using as a micro drone flight control and sure would like to have the four motor board brought back for bushed motor control.
