Re: Update, boot loop, then black screen, humbly requesting help.

Umm I didn’t even know there was more than one verion of the SAIO board. As I mentioned I’ve been away from the community for a while, I think I was on the second batch of boards that went out, if that helps to pin down the version. If anyone has a link to that version of retropie that was released ...

Update, boot loop, then black screen, humbly requesting help.

Hi guys. It’s been a while since I built my gbz using Kite’s SAIO. As such, after revisiting it I’ve run into a quite a troublesome issue... I was gonna let someone else see the gbz.

Re: Best SAIO battery solutions so far..

Ok, here's a pic of the wiring setup inside. Like I said, as it's the SAIO board the wiring is very minimal, the battery was just plugged in at the top of the board there above the pi zero. On the battery I only switched the connector to a JST so that it'd fit, nothing else. I can't figure out what ...

Re: Best SAIO battery solutions so far..

Should work fine on any build. Thanks Helder, I haven't used pogo pins before so I don't have much experience with how to use them. I finished my build apart from the battery. It runs ok off the mains alright but when I tried to use the battery I have, I got nothing. So I tried connecting the power...

I have a decent quality 18650 (3500mAh) with a protection circuit built in ready to go. But I'm wondering if there's been any ...
