Whiskers have a new name!

Whiskers have a new name... WIRELINGS! This may sound familiar to you Game of Thrones fans, as the "Wildlings" were known as the free people who lived beyond the wall. Well, the name Wirelings came from the idea of how these new Tiny boards connect, via wires or cables. We will be updating everything across www.tinycircuits.com and learn.tinycircuits.com to Wirelings, please excuse us for any confusion this may cause!
Why the name change? Well, it turns out "Whiskers" is very similar to some other electronic products on the market and could cause some confusion. So after some discussion with another company that uses a very similar name, we decided it would be best to change the name now to prevent any possible conflicts.
We're also in the midst of manufacturing Wirelings now, and the first orders should start shipping out in less than two weeks!
Cheers,
Ken and the TinyCircuits team

It's time to make any last-minute changes to your order! If you decide that you want to edit your survey response, you can go back to your survey and change it any time before we lock down the surveys for processing, this is the last chance for any add-ons. After 48 hours, all orders will automatically be locked. After orders are locked you can still make updates to your shipping address. It is important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.
In addition, we have just added the 0.1" Breakout I²C Whiskerand the Big Red Button to the survey, if you would like to add this on you can do so here whiskers.backerkit.com

We're using Backerkit to handle surveys, to collect your address, and any special options that need set for your specific reward level. We'll also have the capability of adding specific Whiskers to your order, and additional items like more cables, batteries, and other items. We'll be sending out the surveys soon, so keep your eyes peeled! We're already hard at work getting things ready for production and are on schedule to have everything shipped out by the end of Nov.
Thank you all again, we can't wait to get Whiskers into your hands soon and see what you create!

Tiny Weather Station Tutorial!
over 4 years ago
– Mon, Oct 07, 2019 at 11:35:20 AM
Personal weather stations are not only fun and informative projects, but they also serve as an important data source for governments, forecasters, and researchers. In this simple tutorial, we will show you how to build a very low power weather station that measures wind speed, luminosity, temperature, pressure, humidity, air quality, soil moisture, and rain level. Then, measurements will be automatically saved to your preferred storage location! Storage options we will be covering in this tutorial include a microSD card, Google Sheets, Cayenne IoT, and the Blynk IoT App. These services all provide free data storage and visualization. Best of all, your design will fit in the palm of your hand and will harness all the power it needs from the sun. Let's get started!
