Re: GameBoy Pi 3B+ display case!

Hi, Thanks for the feedback! :D I wouldn't charge for such a thing. You can do those changes with simple tools. If the electronics are your concern, just search for a "5v red led strip" on aliexpress or something, cut to size and it's done. They are quite cheap. Edit: For some reason all my imgur pi...

GameBoy Pi 3B+ display case!

Hi all, I have decided to build an acrylic case to display the GameBoy while I don't play instead of having it closed on a bag somewhere. Such a beauty! :D https://i.imgur.com/apE63LP.jpg I bought my case from Sora-Shop (EU) I went for custom made size since all the available options i found weren't...

Really like this build. Well done. Feels good when it finally works the way you intended. How do you like those shoulder buttons?
Hi,

Thanks!
They are quite nice and fit nice in the case too. The smaller buttons are in the most comfortable position but the space is limited. :b

Re: [Guide] Audio-/Headphone Jack Information Thread

Hi all, Just leaving a correction for the original game boy headphone jack. The only points that have continuity are Pin 3 and 4. The + output from the amp or from the volume pot should go Pin 2,3 and 5. When Headphones are plugged in connection between Pin 3 and 4 breaks and only headphones get sou...

Re: MintyBatterymonitor No on-screen battery icon

Hi! That was a fast reply! running "sudo i2cdetect -y 1" at the command line should tell you if the ads is working. you should get like a grid of lines, with a "48" in the middle. i forget exactly where, like 40/b or something. it should look similar to this: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-ras...
