Hotglue Lessons
Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2016 10:12 am
My first attempt. Tried to fit in everything I might need. Found out I didn't need a lot of the stuff I tried to add.
I really appreciate all the info on this site. My next build will be way better, learned a lot making this monster. Train rides are an absolute pleasure! Dismantled this for the parts to do a better job.
Lessons Learned:
The good:
Pi positioning and fan(Heat sink and a fan keeps it pretty cool)
HDMI port(looks and sounds great on the big screen)
SD card access
Battery Size(6000)
The bad:
Button PCB (common board ordered)
Not able turn on the fan with thermostat or with the gpio
No volume or headphone jack
The ugly:
Way too much hot glue
Wires too thick
Need a better way of keeping the case closed without hotglue
