Re: Spykerwolf's build log - GBZ - custom parts

- The case still doesn't close & I've ordered a smaller barrel connector & plug from aliexpress. - The one at the moment is a 2.5mm one & I had to drill the DC plug hole a bit bigger. - The 3d printed brackets are also struggling with the screws that came with the case, so will get some ones. - Also...

Re: Spykerwolf's build log - GBZ - custom parts

Thanks Sudafed, I've wired it up without the extra button for now but appreciate the input. Took 2 extra days to rearrange & rewire almost everything in order to make it fit.

Re: Spykerwolf's build log - GBZ - custom parts

Just connect bat, vin, vout and gnd. Then you will need extra push button to start or stop the integrate...

Re: Spykerwolf's build log - GBZ - custom parts

Battery wise - I got a power bank & removed the li-po battery: - Removed the power bank cover & used baking powder to help make the sticky stuff not sticky :lol: - probably the most nerve wrecking thing I've done IMG_20211104_182608.jpg IMG_20211105_160326.jpg - Had to grind down some of the plastic...

Re: Spykerwolf's build log - GBZ - custom parts

- Installed the speaker, 3.5mm jack, amplifier, volume wheel & low pass filter.

Re: Spykerwolf's build log - GBZ - custom parts

Re: Spykerwolf's build log - GBZ - custom parts

It also had a silver bit that needed to be taped up - something I couldn't easily do without removing it first: screenWRONG.PNG It was a mission getting it out & I read alcohol should help with the...
