I had a question about the board. It looks like the screen on mine is off by ~2 mm from left to right with a noticeable slant when looking at it straight on. How is the screen attached and can I easily reseat the screen or will I break something if I try to remove it? Any thoughts?

Thanks

edit the offset settings in /boot/config.txt

Has anybody tried a 2.8"-screen? Which one is recommended?

Hello, I just assembled my gaboze pocaio and I made this drill hole helper, since I did not wanted to drill over the pcb (since I did not had an 1mm drill), thanks for making the project opensource!

Just saw this thread and noticed that the last posting was awhile ago. Was there a pre-order? Was it already released? Did I miss this?? :(

Yeah these were sold a while back now, for pocket builds now your options would be, the pocket pi Fe kit by galaxy gaming, they recently did a thread here or you can check their site, or, ordering blank gaboze PCBs, then ordering the BOM and assembling by hand.

No worries! I ordered two of the kits from GalaxyGaming, just waiting on the shipment now. Thanks for the reply! :D

Is it possible to use a Banana Pi Zero instead of a Raspberry Pi Zero? It should have the same size but a lot more power?

I've one more question:
I try to order all needed parts for the PCB. Is it needed, that the resistors have a tolerance of 0.1%? I'm from Europe and an order from Digikey is very expensive. Is it possible to get all these parts from Aliexpress too?

Yes, tolerance isn't too important for these.

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.
