Re: [For Sale] mintyPi BatteryMonitor PCB Preorder

Just a quick tip. After attaching the board, you should do a continuity check between the ground pad on the battery monitor and the raspberry pi.

Re: PCB scheme?

It probably has to do with the fact that in this genre a lot of things are open source. In none of my other hobbies can I get so much for free. These guys probably wonder why someone gives his/her hard work away for free and then others don't.

Re: MultiMeter Help

You need to set the meter to continuity. 180 degrees from where you got it set. You will here the meter beep when you put the test leads together.

Re: iPhone wifi hotspot won't connect to retropie 4.2

I don't have any other means of connecting, but have since figured out the problem. Retropie/RP3 didn't like my iPhones name (it had special characters). Changed my phones name to something simple an connected first try.
