Introducing - GBA SP Zero
Introducing - GBA SP Zero
Hello All!
Developed a Pi based game boy in the SP shell in my free time, just a few pictures for you:
Features:
1. Fits a GBA SP shell with minimal mods.
2. Can use a 1300 mAh li-po battery (if someone can make a custom battery that will be great!)
3. Drives a 2.9 Inch IPS 320x240 LCD.
4. CM102S/S+ implemented.
5. USB-C for charging.
6. LED Status indicators present - Charge - orange, Run - Green, Low battery - Red, WIFI On - Blue.
7. Safe shutdown in hardware.
Current Status: Need to Program Arduino and write code to run the 2.9Inch IPS LCD.
Please let me know your opinions on this. I am willing to co-develop this board further with a person who know good Arduino SPI programming and can implement a better safe shutdown. I have to do further testing..

Re: Introducing - GBA SP Zero
Work log: = Power testing is complete, designed a new better Safe Shutdown circuit, the old one was having current leak issues, need to check the LCD display now. Rest is Ok!
Re: Introducing - GBA SP Zero
Very cool, I am very interested, please keep us updated
Pd: will be on sell? price?

Re: Introducing - GBA SP Zero
That's one beefy ceramic cap, you doing some kind of boosting? I would avoid boosting to be honest since the pi and screen function well off of 3.3v and battery. Unless the screen require higher voltages.

Re: Introducing - GBA SP Zero
Dear All,
Unfortunately, recently some things have happened in my life which have caused me to give up on this project. My initial design was as below:
I want to give away the project to another person who can continue the work, for a simple price of 35USD + shipping. My project box will include the hardwares that I bought for this and 3 prototype PCBs. I will also give the person the PCB files in eagle (BRD and SCH) format.
I hope another person can use this design and complete my dream of the build.
Please PM me if anyone is interested to take this box from me. I am sorry for giving up on this but I am in a tight shape with regards to money and need to clean my house.
Kind Regards,
Rama

Re: Introducing - GBA SP Zero
Just so everyone knows I took him up on the offer and when time permits I will work on this project. Although the LCD seems to be SPI I will try to get it working as DPI in the end build.
