TinyScreen+ (Processor, OLED & USB in one)
DESCRIPTION
TinyScreen+ is TinyCircuits' second-generation processor board. We took our popular TinyScreen shield and added an Atmel SAMD21 32-bit ARM processor (the same one used in the Arduino Zero), USB port, power management, and battery charger - what you get is a powerful OLED development system in one square inch. We've kept our standard TinyShield expansion port, allowing for use of all of our current shields, and all 20 IO pins are available for use- the onboard OLED and four buttons are directly connected to extra hardware on the processor. The OLED is the same brilliant 16-bit color 96x64 pixel display, now capable of up to 40 FPS 16-bit color video playback from a microSD card, with the single-channel line-level audio output! TinyScreen+ uses the same TinyScreen library inside the Arduino programming environment, and most TinyScreen code and Arduino libraries will work as they are.
Main Features:
- Atmel SAMD21 ARM processor, 96x64 pixel OLED with four input buttons
- TinyShield expansion connector, built-in micro USB connection
- Power switch, regulator, lithium battery management on board
- Precision clock crystal and Real-Time Clock hardware built-in, low power standby
- Up to 10 ADC inputs, up to 10 PWM outputs, up to 16 external interrupts

NOTES
- The battery is not included and is sold separately.
- New users can get started with just the TinyScreen+, a micro USB cable, and a computer
- Current users with TinyScreen code can run most existing code with minor changes
- To send text to the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor, use the SerialUSB object instead of Serial
- If you were able to upload a sketch to the TinyScreen+ and now it does not respond, you may need to force this into bootloader mode. To do this, power off the TinyScreen+ using the slide switch. Plug the USB cable into the TinyScreen+ and your computer. Then press and hold the button closest to the USB connector while sliding the switch to the ON position. Then try uploading your program to the TinyScreen+ and it should work. You may need to try this several times if it does not work the first time.
- All batteries are sold separately

A genuine color IPS display — you're watching the real thing on the world's tiniest television.
Drag your own clips over USB-C. Home movies, memes, a crackling fireplace — anything you like, on loop.
Change the channel and volume with an IR remote small enough to lose in your pocket — but it really works.
It actually plays my old home videos on a screen the size of a stamp. It's my desk's favorite object.
The remote is absurd and I love it. Setup took five minutes and my clips looked crisp on that little screen.
Build quality is unreal for something this small. Feels like a real gadget, not a toy — and it's made here.
Gifted one to my brother and now the whole family wants one. Tiny, but seriously mighty.
Battery lasts through a work day on my shelf and the fireplace loop is weirdly cozy. Zero regrets.
Loading my own videos over USB was dead simple. It's the best desk conversation-starter I own.
