Notes:
- The 3.5 LCD from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/BW-3-5-Inch-Moni ... BADCW1J29V with the 5v mod https://www.sudomod.com/wiki/index.php/GBZ_Screen gets a little bit hot (& assumably draws more current)
Afterward, I realized that Tinkerboys DPI adapter seats the Pi the exact way I wanted it and allows GPIO breakout (the main reason I opted for custom built 3.5 composite LCD) so next build I am definitely going to use that. (It is also much better resolution since the small text is kinda hard to read on the 3.5" composite screen.) - The generic Li-ion battery charger was later replaced with an Adafruit Powerboost 1000c. The micro USB port if off a Micro USB OTG y-cable https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Y-Cable-ex ... 00EJP5XR2/
- The single 1500mAh battery was replaced with 3 1000mAh Li-ion phone batteries in parallel to create 3000mAh.
- I know, I don't have a safe shutdown switch and I'm currently working on it. If anyone knows a cheap method, comment it below!
PS. The only glue is on the Hot Glue on the 3D print holder of the LCD and the switch.
Edit: Added WIFI config script source code
