Powerboost low battery LED

Anyone know if/how you can hook an external led to the powerboost to give the user a green or red light depending on the battery charge state? I'm thinking of drilling a small hole in the GBZ somewhere and have it poking through.

Re: AIO No Gamepad detected

The AIO is powered from the power boost.

I will trim the wires and resolder, give it another go. I left the other end of the cable as a standard micro usb cable so it should be fine going into the pi zero.

Re: AIO No Gamepad detected

I currently have 4 wires hooked up to the AIO. 5V, GND, D+ & D-. That should be enough to get it to detect as a pad/keyboard right?

My apologies, i took the photograph as i was experimenting. Wired correctly i still get no gamepads detected.

It's hugely frustrating. Is there anyway to tell if the AIO board is even powered up and doing anything?

AIO No Gamepad detected

Hi All, I bought one of the AIO boards (V2.0) from retrogamingnow. I hooked it up by soldering 5V and Ground to the input pads and then the twisted green and white data wires from AIO to Pi Zero but all i got was not gamepads detected. To simplify the problem i chopped up a micro usb cable and solde...

Re: PS4 pad battery for GBZ

Do you mean the max amps from the micro usb plug? Sorry my knowledge is limited here :)

Re: PS4 pad battery for GBZ

Yes it's all new and I believe the powerboost 1000c is suitable for charging it.

Re: PS4 pad battery for GBZ

It's a new LiPo PS4 pad battery being charged off of a power boost 1000 at 5v.

The light on the power boost indicates fully charged but when I disconnect the mains power, the red low battery light comes on within 3 minutes. I have left it charging for a couple of hours today.

PS4 pad battery for GBZ

I've wired up all the internals of my GBZ and settled on a 2000mah (allegedly) ps4 pad battery. The thing is i seem to be only getting about 10 minutes before the low light comes on on the powerboost and shortly after the screen starts reseting. I've used my multimeter on my powerstrip and the syste...
