I see a lot of people asking about how to create a button PCB using copper tape, but not a lot of guides on how to do so. I wouldn't call this a guide, so much as what I did that worked for me. First, I picked up some 1.5" x 1.25" protoboard from a local shop. I got ones where none of the pads are c...

Yes, I just got some progress on it this morning. So, what I did was I used ssh to login to the pi and updated the operating system. Good news! After I got everything updated the pi recognizes the card and stops giving me a bunch of errors! Bad news, still no sound even with the volume at 100%. I e...

*EDIT

Turns out the issue was that the R8 SMD resistor component came off. Looks like I'm getting another sound card!

The build has been going along alright. I got the sound cards in, but I've been struggling to get them to work. I have them wired up, but I'm not getting any sound and it looks like I get messages about failed to attach to default sound card. At first I thought it might be because I bridged the data...

Really well done! I'm working on my own DIY mintyPis and I was wondering if you could solder directly to the flex cable on those since the PCB it comes on doesn't fit. I was wondering how else to pull off the button PCB. I've been using old graphing calculators and copper tape which is super hit or ...

TLDR; What I thought would be a weekend project turned into a two month long learning experience. I've been putting together my own MintyPi using pieces and parts I could find locally while Helder's parts were out of stock. It's been a beast of a project but I've been learning a lot and it's been a ...

in wich way you provided the screen power ? , how did you connect the screen in general ? if you be a little bit clearer we can try to figure out what's gone wrong. Currently I'm powering it via USB while I get the screen working. It is connected to the GPIOs directly via an 80 pin ribbon cable I s...

I've been having issues with this 2.2" screen. For some reason, it flickers like I'm in an earthquake :shock: http://imgur.com/a/pMf7z http://imgur.com/a/pMf7z I thought it was my wires or possibly my soldering, so first I resoldered all my connections. The issue persisted so I undid them again and ...

EDIT: Can confirm that renaming that video fixes this issue!

Thanks Wermy. I'm not home at the moment to test this, but I'll do so and update this post as soon as I can.

I was able to get the premade image downloaded and burned to an SD card, and I am able to get it to startup and run in EmulationStation just fine, however, whenever I use ALT+F4 to exit to the console, I get just a black screen. I know the console is working, as I am able to issue commands (I've bee...
