Re: Tim's GBZ [WIP]

Hi Tim,

Are you able to use HDMI or composite without changing your settings? (HDMI ON if wired at startup, else composite ON)

Good job for your GBZ :)

HDMI out

Hi,

Does anybody use HDMI output in addition to composite? I'd occasionally use my GBZ on TV with 2 controllers on USB.

If yes, how do you do?

THanks !

Re: RasPiZeroBoy build #2 (in progress)

Hi,

This kind of boardis cheap and works fine, you can also replace the 4 leds by a tricolor one.

The only thing you need is a "double" switch to shutdown battery indicator board and raspberry at the same time.

Re: Game Pie Advance

Nice job!

I agree with day, 14500 battery can barely reach 900mAh, the best I know are Sanyo's UR14500P 840mah 14500.

I use 2 of them on my GBA Zero and I Have nearly 3h playing.

Re: Battery level indicator

There is a green led on power boost to know when charge is over. This battery indicator show battery level from the moment of you turn on (raspberry on or off, whatever).

I think when you have only the red LED on, you can turn off properly your raspberry without problem.

Re: Power boost/charger wiring

Put a switch between battery+ and power board doesn't worked. During first use first connect input (mini USB) to a 5V source prior to connecting any battery. .

Re: Battery level indicator

@day : I bought this one. (10 days for delivery to FR! It said 15-34 :) )
I wired it between B+ et B-.

@Camble: you're right, it should work, but you need LED working at nearly same voltage

Re: Battery level indicator

I received the board, everything is fine, except I have to add a switch between it and my battery because without it's powered all the time.

And I think I can't use a RGB led because original leds has no common cathod =/
