I've been thinking of a wish list for the image file (which has been a lifesaver).
1) Bluetooth audio setup in the menu
2) Default wifi as an access point.
So we can SSH or SFTP from any machine, anywhere, with any device
3) Bluetooth keyboard setup in the menu
4) Diagnostics to test buttons, screen, audio
Maybe some of these features already exist and I'm not aware. If so, sorry.

Re: Suggested mods to MintyPi image
Wifi being set up as an access point is an interesting idea. It would definitely make it easier to connect with any device - even your phone. I'll give it some thought.
As far as the bluetooth setup stuff, are you not able to just use the bluetooth pairing menu that's already in there?
Diagnostics for the screen and audio aren't really necessary in my opinion - there is a startup sound that will play if your sound card is wired correctly, and if the screen is working, you'll know. Testing for buttons could be helpful though.

Re: Suggested mods to MintyPi image
I have thought about the WiFi access point thing for another project. I guess it depends if you can scan for networks while your are acting as a host
Get a small cheep LCD in your project https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2312
Wrap it all round a battery https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2292
Or use a custom PCB to make it really small https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2512
or make it really really really really tiny!! https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2919

Re: Suggested mods to MintyPi image
The buttons testing is done when you are soldering the Pi to the PCB so that should be done then, if you need more testing then best to get a better iron and solder since it sounds like the soldering is in question.

Re: Suggested mods to MintyPi image
I think he means responsiveness. Sometimes when you get the whole thing together a membrane shifts and doesn't respond properly..... I find myself launching a Zelda game to mash the buttons to see if each click responds properly.

Re: Suggested mods to MintyPi image
The button alignment is usually the problem and not the membrane in this build since it has a proper holding area for the membrane. Since this is a 3D printed part and variances are very likely between printers some rework on the button area is recommended like Wermy has shown in the videos.
Maybe the OP can better explain the button testing?
