From the original Synthetos forum (2011–2025)
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but help clarify the status of TinyG v9.
I have a couple of TinyG v8s and, of course, I want the latest and greatest.
The web store shows pictures of TinyG v7, then also says now shipping v8.
I have seen a video from September 2014 of Alden holding a new board that he says is v9.
If I ordered a new board today,would I get a v9 or a v8.
Also, I know that there is a G2, which I understand is an Arduino shield.
Thanks,
James
tinyG2 is a port of the tinyG firmware to hardware platforms based on newer ARM based micro-controllers. Wandering the G2 WiKi might help:
G2 runs on the Arduino DUE, which has no drivers on board. G2 can be used with a Gshield for three driver applications and there are 4 driver shields available as well.
tinyGv9 is a 4 driver plus ARM uC hardware platform that at the moment is testing only. No availability date has been discussed.
If you want to ride the bleeding edge now, you are best off with a DUE and shield of your choice.
