Kevinli, I still see the pictures. Is anyone else having trouble viewing them?

Re: Noob Tries to Make a Pii U (Wii U Retropie Gamepad)
Darksyder, if I could start from scratch, I'd use a Pi4. I'll eventually need to add some bits to the walkthrough for people who are using the Pi4. I don't reckon it would change too much about the build, but there may be subtle differences to connections. Let me know, anybody, what the difference w...

Re: Noob Tries to Make a Pii U (Wii U Retropie Gamepad)
Hi, here’s the balancing board I used! https://www.ebay.com/itm/2S-3S-4S-Li-ion-Lithium-18650-Battery-Packs-Charger-Module-Balance-Board-100mA/122727035587?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Dc2b16bdacddb4b1f93f72be7f79dc140%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D6%26rkt...

Re: Noob Tries to Make a Pii U (Wii U Retropie Gamepad)
Thanks again, AntFJ! I did indeed have in mind adapting his general idea to my hardware set-up using custom code. One of these days! Your help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Noob Tries to Make a Pii U (Wii U Retropie Gamepad)
The resistors are why I thought I could run it the way I had it before. To be lazy and paste from my Page 1 description: “you want to be able to monitor how much life is left in your battery so it doesn’t die while you’re playing! If you use a 3.7V battery setup, there are a few possibilities for cr...

Re: Noob Tries to Make a Pii U (Wii U Retropie Gamepad)
AntFJ, thank you for clarifying that. Is this updated diagram what you meant? I have moved the ground wire too, just to keep things consistent.

Re: Noob Tries to Make a Pii U (Wii U Retropie Gamepad)
LabreaReloc, thank you for checking in. I’ve been thinking about this project nonstop. You’d think that this would be the perfect time, right? And yet due to a number of logistical factors involving being furloughed from my main job and having to pick up a freelance gig, and having to constantly att...

Re: WII U RASPBERRY PI 3 FINISHED
Djobbydjobba, so sorry for the delay -- I had notifications set to "On" but I don't think I was receiving them, so I didn't realize anyone had replied to me! Thank you for pointing out that the diagram was missing a ground wire! This was a complete oversight, and I can't remember what my headspace w...

Re: Noob Tries to Make a Pii U (Wii U Retropie Gamepad)
Darksyder, you’re so kind to check in — I really appreciate it! I haven’t touched the project in awhile I’m afraid, because we bought a house and moved a couple months ago, and everything has been nuts since then trying to fix the house. But again you’ve spurred me to get back into it again. I would...

Re: WII U RASPBERRY PI 3 FINISHED
I was hoping y’all could take a look at my diagram and see if it looks ok or if anything is out of place. Thanks so much! https://i.imgur.com/T7RbChx.png EDIT 5/4/20: djobbydjobba kindly pointed out the diagram was previously missing the ground wire to the Pi pin 6! I have replaced the original diag...
