Re: Screen turning off during boot
Yeah I have tried a new image and a new sd card with the same results. I guess it could be a voltage problem from the microlipo, I just chose that as it was small and seemed to be used interchangeably in the MintyPi guide. Is it worth giving that a shot? Is there anyway I can verify that’s the probl...

Re: Screen turning off during boot

It’s not the prettiest wiring (more first attempt at electronics ever) and that might just be the problem, I may have to go back and try and improve it But I’m just using a basic button PCB and not an AIO board. So I have a usb hub and usb sound ...

Volume Wheel with USB Soundcard and Headphones and Speaker
Hi Guys, I'm looking for a bit advice in how to wire up the parts I'm attempting to use in my GBZ build. I have the USB sound card from the Minty PI build and I would like to have both a speaker and headphones attached to this and then the volume for both controlled via a volume wheel. I know how to...
