Veteran's 2nd GBZ (HDMI Screen) (Completed)

[FoxAdn]

Thank you for your advice VeteranGamer !

you sell your adaptater ? (if you order several)

My idea is to use cartridge (clear) for battery led indicator
LED white = power LED
LED red = low battery
LED blue = in charging
for exemple :

I will try to post my progress when I would have received everything and start the project, the problem is that my English is really bad......

if the adapter works, i will most probably sell a few of them (i got 20 prototype units made) .... but not really looking to make a profit out of them (just cover my costs) so they may only be offered to people in europe (as the shipping cost may make it pointless to buy elsewhere)


it might be an idea to use one single bi-colour led for the low battery and charging (as they wont be on at the same time)....

something similar to this (i'm sure you'll be able get the color combination you want)

also dont worry about the level of your english.... it doesnt really matter.....

Tried that one too, the voltage of the red led and the green one differs alot, couldn't get the green one coming on, however red worked.

did you add any resistors to them.....

because they worked for me on one of my builds (with the generic/bangood psu)

did the green work on the red points (did you swap the connections)
also are you sure the green led works, as some of mine were a little fragile and the slightest of bend/pressure on the pin killed it

[144TECH]

Yeah, the led was allright, though the power of the green wasn't enough to lit it up, i have swapped the polarity but everytime i only could get red on on charge aswell as charging complete, that was on a pb1000c, but i snipped a piece of an old pcb from something else i had laying around here, and removed 2 smd resistors, to later solder the both leds on there next to each other, that did the trick too, and from the outside it looked very good so end good all good, maybe a smd duo led would do better as a 3mm one with legs.

Ok, thanks for your advice.
I will decide when my project will go well, but I like the idea
see you soon

hey did you get your display to crop at all? I've tried setting overscan but it didn't actually do anything.. just wondering if there were other settings that had to be changed?

when you mean crop, i'm assuming thats fit into the opening....

i only messed with the left and right overscan settings (didnt touch anything else).....

and this is what i achieved only in testing.... gonna fine tune it once everything is installed...

Is there a reason you can't rotate the screen 180° and get rid of the HDMI adapter? Then rotate the display in your config.txt

you can rotate the display, without any issues via the config.txt

explain how to get rid of the hdmi adapter, by doing this...

especially with then the button pcb will get in the way....
