Re: Red hot pi, normal?

You must be exaggerating. If your pi was "red hot" it certainly wouldn't work anymore. Unless the screen outputs a small icon in the top right to indicate overheating (or under voltage) there is no problem. I think the chip is rated for 85C before throttling or shutdown, not sure which. After a long...

Teensy LC Joystick

Since I followed wermys guide for the teensy which uses "Keyboard + Mouse + Joystick" mode, would I be able to use the joystick code here: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_joystick.html I would assume in the loop method I just use: Joystick.X(value1); Joystick.Y(value2); Where the values are analog re...

Re: Red hot pi, normal?

Have you got a volt meter? Is it putting out the right level? The PAM2306 regulator used in the pi zero accepts up to 6.5V input, so if the voltage from your power source exceeds this, you have a problem. Unless he's not powering via micro usb and is hitting the power rail directly and bypassing th...

Re: 3d printed template for drilling x/y button holes

Well, I have no experience with international shipping, but it seems from my country (Australia), I can send a letter to Germany/USA for example for 1.95AUD (1.5USD). If I 3d printed and made it <5mm thickness, I could ship it this way since it would classify as a "letter". I would probably add a fe...

Re: PSX Games?

Since there are videos on the web that show PSX-games (like Crash Bandicoot 2 or Spyro the Dragon) working well on a RPI Zero and some say PSX games are not playable, I'm confused if it will work if I built my own GBZ. Have you made any experiences with PSX games on the GBZ and can share them with ...

Re: Largest Battery Size

Thanks! Does it have to be removed often? You could likely fit in a larger one if not. I'm only asking because I'm looking at batteries on ebay and some sellers have a wide array of lipo's with a wide variance in sizes. I'd love to fit a 4000-5000 mAH lipo in if possible. Doesn't have to be removed...
