Using this board allows you to download new sketches via the Arduino IDE to your TinyDuino, and also allows you to add USB communication capabilities to your projects. This board supports RX and TX status LEDs so you can visualize the serial traffic to and from your TinyDuino.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe USB TinyShield is available in two variations on where the USB cable can plug in - this listing is for the \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eside-mounted USB port version\u003c\/strong\u003e.

However, there are some TinyShields that are not square, so depending on their dimensions this can make plugging in the USB cable difficult. For example, the WiFi TinyShield is long, so a side mount version of the USB connector works best for this. The TinyScreen is wide, which works best with the top mount version of the USB connector.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSide USB Connector\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e - The micro USB connector will come out the left side of the TinyDuino stack.
