Based out of Akron, OH, TinyCircuits designs and manufactures tiny, open-source electronics to serve creativity in the maker community, build fun STEAM learning, and spark joy. TinyCircuits is a maker of tiny open source electronics that let users create their own miniature electronic projects. The main product line is the TinyDuino platform – an Arduino compatible platform the size of a US Quarter. The TinyDuino platform is completely modular and works like tiny electronic LEGOs, so complex functions, like GPS, Wi-Fi, motor control, or graphics displays can easily be added to projects just by plugging the expandable modules (called TinyShields).
TinyCircuits’ initial product line, the TinyDuino, launched on Kickstarter in September 2012 and raised over 1000% of its desired goal. It’s since produced working electronic miniatures (Handheld Game Consoles, TinyTVs), Wirelings (tinier circuit boards), and TinyLily (e-textile applications). TinyDuino is a mini, open-source, modular electronics platform that has the full power of an Arduino Uno in the size of a quarter. The TinyDuino processor board acts as the base and multiple TinyShield modules add special functions like lights, measuring your location, and connecting to the internet. TinyDuino boards stack together like bricks.
TinyCircuits is used by thousands of people in over 60 countries to create a variety of projects. Top universities, small businesses, and the largest tech companies use TinyCircuits’ products for cutting edge research and prototyping.
