I really would suggest going 6x6x6 for even the shoulder buttons. It's very tight tolerances for the 5mm and if you have even a slight imperfection in drilling or filing, barely any of the button will stick out.

Wow that image that Veteran posted is just handy to have around in general. Saving it to my desktop!

Hi, I was able to fix the SCL issue. I went back and found some bad connections and I think they are all fixed now. The only one left is ground which I will try tonight. I can take pictures of the iron but it's a pretty nice one with adjustable temp and it takes standard Hakko style tips. I bought a...

Hi, I have two issues related to soldering and they happen to be stacked on top of each other. All my other GPIO pins are connected and pass continuity tests. Ground - I spent over half an hour trying to get ground connected and all I managed to do is overload it with solder (I keep getting bad/cold...

Hi, thanks for the generous offer but I am very unconfident in my soldering skills so I am really worried I won't be able to get it mounted. I'd rather have you send it to a pro who can fix it and put it to use.

Hi, is the wiring diagram in the first post still accurate for the latest guide (Helder's new board/screen)?

Hi, I am looking for a PCM2704 USB DAC sound card for a mintyPi project. I ordered one weeks ago from China (through eBay) and who knows when it'll get here. I got other parts from China and they arrived a week ago. There's no tracking as you can imagine. Anyway, they seem to be in limited supply fr...

Can I double check that these 6x6 (base) x 5 mm tall (including buttons) referenced in this thread are the correct ones? I ordered 10 from China and they arrived but when I look at how much the button protrudes and the wall thickness of the Altoid's tin, I can't imagine much of it is going to poke t...

This looks great, could you post a wiring diagram?

Received my board and screen this weekend. Excited to get parts in so I can start the build.
