If you are looking to add custom sensors, actuators, or other peripherals to your TNY-360, you might want to know about the exposed pins available for interfacing.
The TNY-360 has a set of exposed pins on its universal mount that can be used for power and data communication.
The TNY-360 works with multiple voltage levels, each one having its limitations and ideal use cases.
Here is a breakdown of the available voltage levels and their typical applications:
| Voltage Level | Description | Use Cases | Current Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12.6V | Battery voltage, directly from the 3S LiPo battery. | High-power actuators, LED strips, or any high current device | continuous 2A, burst up to 4A |
| 5.0V | Regulated voltage provided by the onboard 3A regulator. | Sensors, microcontrollers, or low-power devices | continuous 1A, burst up to 2A |
| 3.3V | Regulated voltage provided by the onboard 1A regulator. | Logic-level sensors, small displays, or microcontrollers | continuous 500mA |
In addition to the power pins, there are also a pair of data pins (SDA, SCL) that provide access to one of the two I2C buses of the robot. This allows you to connect a wide variety of I2C-compatible sensors and peripherals, such as IMUs, distance sensors, or even small displays.
The TNY-360 uses two separate I2C buses:
The TNY-360 documentation is still under redaction.
