Re: My GBZ build (99% complete)

The problem is that I screwed up a screw there and it got stuck. I'd have to replace the screw holder with another 3d print (luckily I have a spare).
Anyhowz, what do you think?

My GBZ build (99% complete)

Hi all, Just wanted to show my build. Red shell, the pink buttons are from a white shell that I bought to salvage the parts. Standard 3.5 LCD screen taken from a parking cam set. I needed to buy 2,cause the 1st one had a too big PCB. 4 buttons in the front, 2 tact-switch buttons on the back. Custom ...

Re: audio without amplifier

I'll ask the same question, but in my case I'm using a sound card. The wiring is like in the post by Kilren, http://i.imgur.com/YTlQdlX.png only I'm not using the amp. Correct me if I'm wrong, but all I have to do is to connect the "R" (yellow wire) with the "+, the "L" (blue wire) with the "-" and ...

USB sound and hub questions

Hi, I've made some progress with my GBZ assembly, I've got all the necessary parts and started putting them together. The Pi and screen run smoothy, but I'm having issues with the hub and using multiple devices with it. To this point, I've been prototyping and an external gamepad, as well as a keybo...

Anybody had luck with 18650 or 14500 li ion cells?

As in the topic. Do you recommend to connect a packeet of li-ion 14500 or 18650 cells to a powerboost and run the gbz from it? Im having a hard time finding a decent lipo to fit into the case 😥

Phone batteries and PowerBoost

Hi all, Just wondering... Got mi lipo battery and it won't fit in my case, can't do anything about that. I saw in another post mentioning using phone batteries as quite convenient - they are small and have a big capacity. How do you guys connect these to the power circuit? What phone batteries do yo...

Re: Collecting information on alternative displays - please contribute

Hello folks, I have been collecting GBZ parts for some time, but my big issue (probably one of many) is the screen. And I mean big, cause the PCB just doesn't fit into the case. Here are some pictures, can anybody tell me what's safe to cut? I believe the K1, K2 and K3 switches are the contrast butt...

Re: Micro SD cart size?

I just need a cart PCB size or file. Just the basic cart PCB with the pinouts for the reader like here, I can solder them to an SD adapter myself. It's just easier for me to etch this.

You guys ship this stuff to Poland for one buck shipping price?

ps. Sorry guys if I sound rude. I don't mean to.
