Re: Error Compiling for Teensy LC

It looks like a new issue with OS X Sierra.
Look on github.

Re: include keyboard.h file

You can't use an Arduino pro mini. The pro mini has a Atmega328 micro-controller, and the pro micro and teensy have Atmega32u4, which can be used as a USB HID (i.e. keyboard).

Re: GearBest screens warning!!

I got my screen off ebay.
It worked fine until I bent the flex too much and destroyed it. There were some diagonal lines like you describe with the pi, but it was unnoticeable during play.
I ordered 2 new from gearbest, they should arrive on next Monday. I hope they will be good.

Re: How to - Use the GPIO for Buttons instead of a Teensy

I believe you can ignore this message. stackoverflow That message is usually an indication that some of your files have modification times later than the current system time. Since make decides which files to compile when performing an incremental build by checking if a source files has been modifie...

I got mine today.
The battery goes across the B+ and B- pads at the board edges.

I used 20AWG silicone wire for power.
All other is 28AWG wire.

Re: [Guide] Graceful shutdown switch without Pololu

I finished my build without this feature eventually. It worked great, but after 4 turn offs something failed. Don't know what. I think that a much easier solution is to use a tiny normally closed relay. With no voltage applied the relay will shorten the enable to ground. On power on the switch will ...

@RxBrad I used a freeware by paragon

I would disable the option to turn off during boot. If the shutdown signal is active during boot, for safety reasons, disable the graceful shutdown feature.

Re: My gameboy zero build

I had issues with the GPIO method. Some buttons stopped working after a while. I don't know the cause. Ended up using an Arduino and a USB hub.

Re: [Guide] Graceful shutdown switch without Pololu

@Camble you should place the resistor between the gate and the drain. The resistor discharges the gate when you open the switch. Edit: I got confused with MOSFET transistor in which the gate is actually a capacitor. In JFET you don't have that extra layer of oxide which forms a capacitor. I think yo...
