Re: Testing a new 3.5” 640x480 IPS DPI LCD

Why do you use 18 bit and not 24? The GPIO interface doesn't have enough GPIO?

And did you finally released that screen? It's been a while so I wonder if it has been scrapped.

Re: PiBoy DMG by ExperimentalPi

I would be interested to know what is used for the gamepad driver and the battery manager if you know?

Re: Video/Visual Guide - Brightness Control for LQ035NC111

Having the whole current going through the potentiometer is not an issue? It's not toasting it? Also does it not increase the current you would have used on lower brightness? The thumbwheel should be located on the PWM/CE/EN pin (instead of the usual PWM) of the LED driver for best efficiency (I thi...

Re: My new project - RetroStone

The design has been updated afterall! The buttons look indeed better now! It was kind of out of place I must admit! :) https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/021/591/663/24c446bbd10be4a3c6ade46aa0d0486e_original.jpg?w=639&fit=max&v=1529066233&auto=format&q=92&s=05d77892130fc0635d169d7aa95a17be First produ...

Re: My new project - RetroStone

Yes it's 3D printed shell, but it's with SLS, not SLA, that's why it looks like this. I got it from sculpteo company. About the rear buttons, it was because I'm using the ABXY silicon. But lot of people are complaining it looks ugly. So I will try to make an alternate 3D model. I thought it looked n...

Re: My new project - RetroStone

Yes I have done the design by my self :) Actually I am biology engineer, I started to learn electronic last year when I launched Raspiboy. It is 4 layers actually! H3 chips don't have RGB, it's A20 who has this LCD interface. But retrorangepi is not compatible with A20 so I used the H3 with composit...

My new project - RetroStone

Hey guys! I have been working on a handheld for quite some time now and Ithink the results is rather neat :) (Picture enclosed) I went trough some heavy duty there! - I made my own SBC with a H3 processor (that can run retrorangepi). I know it's bit off topic as it's not strictly a gameboyzero but I...

Re: Orange Custom Gameboy

Thanks for your reply, for future reference I found the solution, I added a 50ohm resistor between AV and ground. It fixed the issue.

Opi zero board is missing this resistor that's why there's this problem.

Re: Orange Custom Gameboy

Hi there!
I am making such a device and my LCD signal is too bright, when I put the LCD setting for luminosity to the lowest possible it's getting better but still very bright.
Did you had this problem? If so could you solve it?
