So, a few months ago I bought everything I thought I needed for this build, with the purpose of building it during the summer.
This is a list of the components I bought:Show
- Raspberry Pi 3B (one I previously had)
- tinkerBOY Controller V3.0 https://www.tinkerboy.xyz/product/tinke ... ontroller/
- Adafruit Powerboost 1000C https://www.ebay.de/itm/282083284436?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT
- Gearbest 3.5 inch TFT LCD Screen https://www.gearbest.com/development-bo ... 29447.html

- x2 PSP1000 Joystick https://www.ebay.de/itm/361351958328?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT
- Silicone Rubber Conductive Pads
- Plastic Buttons
Before I start the build I have a few questions:
- How do I have to manage the power supply in this build?
I've heard in some places that the Powerboost 1000C can be problematic when working with the RPi 3. Can it support this project? Or should I buy something else? In the tinkerBOY guide they talk about connecting the Powerboost directly to the Raspberry, so there should be no problem, right? - What's the wiring needed between the tinkerBOY and the RPi 3?
The tinkerboy guide is mostly oriented for working with the RPi Zero. There are this two that explain the power connections and the audio and composite pinout for the RPi 3, but I'm not totally sure about it.
Ps: I'm not sure if this post is in the right subforum, if I misplaced it let me know.
