Re: [PRE-ORDER] Circuit Sword (+ Lite), Circuit Shield + Circuit Gem - CLOSED

How do I utilize the USB-EXT access? Is this passthrough to one of the Pi's USB ports? So could I put a thumb-drive here or bluetooth dongle? Or is this access to the Pi's storage, so I could plug in the Pi like a drive on my computer?

Hey Kite!

It’s been almost a year after my first circuit shield build and I just found out there’s a ribbon cable connector for a ps vita joystick. Are there any unique low profile features on your circuit shield? Do you have a favorite?

Kite Retro Circuit Shield BMO & GMO

I've been sitting on this build for a while now but I finally took the time to take some good pictures of it. I spend about a year or two working on this project for me and my sis so that I could rope her into playing some classics with me. It's based on BMO and I got a lot of help from other BMO pr...

Battery Not Charging on Kite's Circuit Shield

After a couple of months using my Kite Retro Circuit Shield I have been unable to charge the battery. It was working perfectly fine up until now so I doubt I've soldered the polarity of the JST connector wrong. The LED indicators I've been getting were always a purple in the back middle and a green ...

Re: Joystick Help Thread

Hello! I've been working with the Kite Circuit Shield and I wanted to use a Nintendo Switch joystick. I have the FCP-6P 0.5MM breakout board for the ribbon cable, but I have the board flipped so I'm soldering to the pads underneath. So far I have tried soldering the pinouts in 2 ways. The first way ...

Re: [PRE-ORDER] Circuit Sword (+ Lite), Circuit Shield + Circuit Gem - CLOSED

I'm hoping to install a bluetooth adapter to the device for controllers and I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how to go about doing that. I have tried connecting a dongle to the USB-C port (following the same mentality I have with my MacBook) but that didn't work. Can the USB-C port serve ...

Kite Circuit Shield Build Tips

Hello All! First post here. Just thought I could share some help I found getting together my MGB AIO with Kite's Circuit Shield. Specifically there's some info online about the DraStic nds emulator. It actually runs incredibly well on my CM3 (not even plus). I've been running Pokemon Platinum at ful...

Re: [PRE-ORDER] Circuit Sword (+ Lite), Circuit Shield + Circuit Gem - CLOSED

Hey I'm just about to be done with my build but I'm getting a white screen. I've tried a couple of images, RetroPie 4.3, 4.5, and 4.6 as well as the Freeplay CM3 RetroPie 4.6 image. Is there something I'm missing?

Re: [PRE-ORDER] Circuit Sword (+ Lite), Circuit Shield + Circuit Gem - OPEN

I noticed there's a "c" button contact on the circuit shield? I know the 3DS has a similarly sized c-stick that attaches via ribbon cable. Is there an existing connector on the shield this could attach to? Or is there some sort of workaround to get it working with the circuit shield? Here's an aliex...
