Wiring Diagram: mintyPi controller PCB

[Domshen]

The GPIO pins start from right to left the way the Pi is positioned in the photo above, and yes the A is the bottom GPIO on the left.

So if I'm understanding this correctly the square pin in the bottom right labeled 1 on the pcb does not have continuity to anything on the pcb? I am trying to make sure that I check every pin as I go and I'm not finding anything that it connects to. Sorry for the dumb question.

It connects to 3.3v but we don't use it for anything on this build.

[Domshen]

Awesome, then I won't worry about it. Thank you so much for the quick reply!!

Do I need another red wire coming from the BAT hole from the charger off I'm using the battery indicator pcb?

[Helder]

Battery to Lipo charger then from Lipo charger to one of the outside pins on the power switch then from the middle switch pin to the Bat+ on the battery monitor board. I don't get how you are confused on this, the board goes where your wires used to be but now you solder the 2 wires you removed to Bat+ and Bat- on the Battery Monitor Board.

Hey everyone. This is my first post. I'm building two MintyPi's for me and a friend and I would like to add the diodes in so it can charge and still be played. Can someone post a picture or circle where they go in the diagram please. It would really help me out.

[Helder]

I'll post something about it later when I'm home but many diodes have a 1v forward voltage drop so it will under power the pi. I'll see if I can find one with really low forward voltage.

Hi, is the wiring diagram in the first post still accurate for the latest guide (Helder's new board/screen)?

[Helder]

Pretty much but you can use the audio pads underneath near the VCC and GND inputs and this way the speaker solders on top of the pcb and you don't have to wrap the speaker wires around the PCB like the old guide.

I updated the Fritzing diagram to reflect the new lipo charger and speaker connection points on Helder's new board. Can someone check if this is correct? Sorry, I don't know where to get the Fritzing part of the new PCB or how to edit the existing one to mark the Speaker +/- pads.
