Re: Mounting the screen controller board

The copper stripes go on the other side of the board so they face the screen.

How about the Genesis Logic IC - GL850G, works well for 2 of my hubs.

Re: USB sound question

I am pretty sure the USB is not an amplifier. The wiring should be as such. USB DAC/Sound card -> Headphone Jack --(un-jacked)--> Amp ---> Speaker. amp should have a pot. If you want pot to control headset then amp should be directly after Soundcard

You basically need a short/wire from 5v input and the output of the regulator (tha...

Re: Compute module based AIO

An AIO with a module holder will mostly be a complete solution for a true AIO. GBZ using CM3 would be powerful and compact. I doubt it will be cheap.

Re: SNES USB Gamepad

I purchased 2 knowing full well I might break one. I cut too close on my first board thinking that it will work. It doesnt. If the tension in the wire is more it will pull out the wire with the trace attached. This caused the trace till the black blob to be removed and rendered the controller useles...

Compute module based AIO

Now that the CM3 is released in lite variant too, How feasible would a compute module based AIO would be? Any thoughts?
