V3 questions
Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2018 12:57 pm
So I just started to look into making either a GBZ or MintyPi and decided to go for the MintyPi for the reason of being more compact (and lets not lie, I do a lot of traveling and like to show things off... So a MintyPi would be awesome ) . Now I know the mods and admins have probably looked at my name (I really don't cause that much trouble) and joined date and realizing that it was today. But I promise, I have done a fair amount of research.
I get the v3 controller board will be coming soon™. (as evidenced by this (which would make it today ) and many, many, MANY posts of the same thing of 'soon'™) so I won't go there. Take your time and make it the best as you possibly can and thank you to Wermy and Helder for all the hard work and dedication that they have put into this project.
So here are my questions:
-Will v3 come as a kit like v2 did in being that it will include the controller board, screen+PCB for that, and the ribbon to connect the screen and the controller board?
If so, will the screen be 2.2 or 2.4 in?
-What will the buying limit be for the boards?
-Will there be a 3.5mm headphone jack as well as a speaker? If not, what should I be looking for to make sure that I get the right jack to automatically switch from headphone to speaker? Just one with 5 pins in it?
Wermy specific:
-Will your awesome new faceplate be available in time for v3?
-Will it come with the silicone buttons or will those be separate?
-Would there be a possibility in the future to get a 2 toned faceplate in the future? (I think a black and red one would be awesome...)
/end Wermy specific.
-Will the rest of the parts be the same? (basically everything but the 3D printed parts, screws, monitor/controller PCBs) I want to start sourcing parts and getting them in but don't want to buy what I don't need to buy.
That's all I can think of for now... I'm sure I'll have a few more later.
