DESCRIPTION

Thumby Color is the next generation of Thumby; it’s still fun to play with, easily programmable, and as tiny as ever - initially funded on Kickstarter.

Do you want to see or share Thumby games and hacks?? Join us on the TinyCircuits Discord!

Built around the new Raspberry Pi RP2350 Processor, the successor to the RP2040 used in the original Thumby, the Thumby Color is significantly more powerful than the original Thumby.  This new powerful processor enables us to implement a vibrant color screen and a highly featured game engine, allowing for the creation of some amazing games!

 

Games

Just like the original Thumby, Thumby Color games are free and open source, giving you the ability to modify them as you see fit. Games made for the original Thumby (and there are over 100 available) are still able to be played on the Thumby Color.

Game Launcher

The Thumby Color can store many games internally, and a new game launcher at startup lets you easily pick which game you want to play.

 

Rumble Motor

The Thumby Color features a programmable rumble motor (which is quite powerful even given the tiny size), to provide haptic response as you play.

 

Programming

Thumby Color uses MicroPython for its games, giving users an easy way to pick up and learn a programming language.

 

Our free browser editor lets you program, upload, and play, all in one browser tab! All you need is your Thumby Color and a USB-C cable. We offer tutorials for the editor, as well as help forums and a Discord server if you need any further help from our kind community.

We ship from our partnered warehouses and factories located in United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and China. Please expect your items to be shipped separately (if you order more than one item) as different factories specialise in various areas of manufacturing.

There are circumstances that are out of our control (natural disasters, holidays, weather etc) that may cause shipping postponements. While most packages will arrive on time, there may be circumstances and delays that our carriers may experience. For this reason we do not guarantee the exact delivery time; the delivery issue is the responsibility of the shipping company. 

All international orders may incur customs fees and additional fees.

Will I receive a tracking number?

We provide tracking for all our orders once the product has shipped. When you receive your tracking number, if you need help tracking your order you can contact us at hello@peachyandpear.com. Or tracking your order here.

My item arrived damaged.

We do ship every item with double packaging and extra padding. Despite this, our customers report that around 1 in 1000 products arrive damaged due to mail service mistreatment. Please, always refuse the package if you see damage on it and file a complaint with the courier directly. It will be re-shipped back to us and we will happily re-ship another one.

Once received, we will be happy to send out another at no cost.

Unfortunately, if your order has already been shipped we will not be able to change it. Please make sure you have ordered the correct variant to avoid disappointment. 

Lost Package

If you or Peachy + Pear are concerned your package is lost, it is our advise to contact your local post office and quote your tracking number. Please obtain a written statement from the local post office/courier that your package is lost and lodge a complaint with them. Once the statement is provided to Peachy + Pear from the courier it will be determined on a case by case basis whether a refund of a replacement is warranted. 

I have a question that wasn't answered, can you please help?

Depending on the volume of orders we are receiving, your shipment may take longer than usual. Rest assured, we are working hard to get everything out ASAP.
