Battery being installed on top of the charging circuit:
Installing some "stereo" speakers:

Today I drilled holes for the power indicator leds (a drop of clear clue on the holes should keep it "neat" and "safe"): IMG_20170525_112234_rez.jpg Then I installed the charging circuit inside the case and tested the power :) Everything working on the charging circuit! IMG_20170525_113601_rez.jpg

FINALLY! The LCD arrived after three months!!! First one got returned to the sender before it even left China :( And now I have the "HD" 640x480 screen installed on the case. Notice how snugly it fits between the case's sides. Not a single mm extra room. I also drilled (well... manually twisted wit...

Today: 1. Installing the "distributor board" for the common, red, green & blue. 2. Soldering the LED leads to the board 3. Installing the "DMG+I2C" board from Kitsch-Bent IMG_20170420_143413_rez.jpg And finally showing off the nice illumination through the silicone buttons, WOOHOO!!! Really happy wi...

Now the LEDs have been glued into their cozy little nooks...

Today I had some time to solder leads for the smd RGB LEDs for the transparent buttons. Actually the solder...

Today was time to connect the USB hub to keyboard receiver and soundcard...

Third USB output is spare at the moment.

A small explanation of the parts:

This three port USB hub (that I have tested to be working fully with Raspberry Zero "OTA" port) is getting really tiny after removing the case and all the ports.

Today was time to strip the keyboard receiver from its restrictive clothes and oh my! That's one tiny receiver right there. It's gonna fit easily inside the GBZ... Btw, it's Viboton S1, and I'm going to use it only as a keyboard, even though it does have shoulder buttons and d-pad. IMG_20170329_2135...

Today's achievement... Soldering leads for the cartridge connector and having fun with some shrink tube

Let's hope this works...
