Re: jostie94's GameBoy zero build

I bought a second battery so I can change batterys when one is empty. To charge both batteries, I have made an external battery charger. I modified an original Samsung i9100 charger: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/i9100-Battery-Charger-Usb-Wall-Travel-Dock-Adapter-For-Samsung-galaxy-S2-S-II-i9100-G...

I do have plans to update the AIO but only after mintyPi orders are shipped.
I'd be in for one, I joined the community too late for the other runs you had. When this happens will you update your current AIO thread or will you make a new post dedicated to the new version?

There's no downside to reading everything you can.

Re: Help with RGB LEDs

I've received info from Kite that seems to indicate that I can just use the board rather than getting an extra chip for this. If anyone else is curious, here's what he wrote: You'll want to do this on the arduino, look at the PDF guide and it should show the pin usage on arduino.. i need to update i...

Re: Help with RGB LEDs

I see. Earlier in his build he mentions the ATtiny2313, but his wiring diagram is helpful. Unfortunately, it connects to the powerboost and only supports 3 states. I want a fourth state, which is for it to blink yellow when rom transfer/update is in progress. I will probably post in the SAIO support...

Re: Help with RGB LEDs

He actually uses an ATMega (I think an ATMega328P). He uses it because the way the powerboost works. If he would have used an ATTiny, he would only have gotten two statuses to work. I'm not sure how your board operates (if it needs the ATMega or if an ATTiny will do). I thought it was the ATtiny231...

Re: Help with RGB LEDs

Sota did a build with an RGB LED. The concept should be similar to yours. http://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1615&p=18068&hilit=attiny#p18098 That's pretty close to what I'm looking for but I don't know anything about the ATtiny and Sota doesn't go into much detail on his build. At th...

Re: Help with RGB LEDs

I'm gonna shamelessly self-bump and also add that I didn't know about PWM until a few minutes ago. Would it be possible to, in code, change the LED status of a 4-pin LED connected to the existing LED pads? Also, what resistors would I need (if any)?

Help with RGB LEDs

I have recently purchased a bunch of 4-pin RGB LEDs, and I was wondering if I could use only a single one of them to represent the various statuses of the pi. I am using the SAIO board with a Pi 3 and my understanding is that I can just connect the LED pins to the existing LED pads to get it to disp...

where did you get 5:3 from....
800x480 is a 5:3 aspect ratio assuming square pixels.
