Thanks I was planning to clean it up after I had gotten it all setup.

Havent really had the time to complete this project unfortunately so I'm selling the parts over on Ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MintyPi-Parts/172964308803?hash=item284579e743:g:tw8AAOSwxzdZ~e-q MintyPi Parts Collection I am selling my parts for a MintyPi DIY kit. I never got time to finish this ...

I did exactly the same thing. You can just solder a wire from the point on the raspberry pi to the corresponding test pad and as long as you haven't damaged the trace beyond the test pad it should work. Just make sure you use a thin wire.

Thanks... it worked. Sorry

I tried changing it to GPIO 12 which appears to be empty but still no joy unfortunately. Heres a picture of the config just in case you can spot anything obvious I am doing wrong.

Hello again, since my last screw up, all has been going well, the screen works etc however one issue I've had is that the A button is not working. I soldered a wire directly from the A test pad to the corresponding GPIO pin but still when I'm in retropie I'm still unable to use the A button. I even ...

Actually all you need to do is solder a wire to that X test pad and to the Pi GPIO that is where the X was supposed to be, the via looks to be ok so it's going to the top of the pcb where the trace led to. Use the image below for reference: Whew! that's a relief! Thank you so much :) I've seen quit...

Hello, Upon waking up this morning and finding out that the minty pi 2.0 build guide had been released, despite being pretty tired from the night before, I decided to get started on a build. This soon turned out to be a great mistake as I ended up screwing in the raspberry pi on the wrong way round ...

Finally think ive got most of the parts together, but one thing. How are the 3d parts secured in to the tin? I originally thought hot glue but that cant be strong enough, can it? If its epoxy adhesive, what type do we need?

Thanks again
