Ghost's First GBZ

Post by Ghost-Guy » Sun Jun 24, 2018 2:02 pm

Hey you guys,

I am a complete newby to anything of this sort of project, so I thought the following: why not start with posting before I start building. That way I can ask for some tips in advance for the parts I use.

There are the parts I have bought:

First up: what about my button pcb. Any things I have to take into account when working with this one?

And secondly: I am aware of the fact that I miss a battery in my parts list (and a powerboost). This is cause I plan on using a power bank I had laying around (and I do not trust myself with those lithium-ion batteries, all those safety hazards). So yeah, don't know if that'll work, but I'll see.

I wanna make something wonderful, but I cannot do it alone

cheers
Ghost

If you're gonna use a simple pcb board then you will also need an audio amp like the PAM8403 module, headphone jack, b103 volume wheel, LOW/HIGH pass filter for the PWM audio or just buy a USB sound card, Pro Micro/teensy for the controllers or you can use the GPIO pins on the Pi.
