Re: Tackling Graceful Shutdowns on the GBZ

Wow that's a pretty clean execution! Might in the market for one of these switches then.

Re: Tackling Graceful Shutdowns on the GBZ

So does this mean when you flip the switch from ON to OFF, it will send a signal to the LV switch to run a command to shutdown? What happens on power up? Sorry tried to read the posts but I'm not too knowledgeable on this and a lot of foreign words to me.

Good job! Even if you don't end up using the board, that's valuable experience that you'll have forever =)

Re: Pi Zero at Adafruit right now - SOLD OUT

Since the new version is coming out soon, they are probably trying to get rid of the remaining old stock. Once new one comes out, everyone is gonna want the new one rather than the old. Honestly if they had any old ones left, I'd be willing to buy for $10 since these Pi0 are so damn rare.

Re: Pi Zero at Adafruit right now - SOLD OUT

Probably old stock. They've had those packages before and they usually sell out within an hour.. This seems to be no exception, it's a really popular item. My guess is they are limiting stock to sell them as packages rather than just the PI Zero itself (25 rather than 5).

Re: Space saving inside the DMG case

Hey I'm very interested in your cable management! Can you show some more pictures of the placement of everything? I'm also having a hard time getting everything in, and this is before the Card Reader. Did you end up using a pot for volume control? I think since i'm using USB sound I'll also have to ...

Re: Troubleshoot why certain keys don't repond

You can do it however you'd like, the key is to make sure those 2 bottom traces are connected together. They are essentially 1 long circuit so if you need to do multiple strip tapes to get it connected, that's fine. Just make sure the adhesive side is also conductive, otherwise you probably need to ...

Re: Troubleshoot why certain keys don't repond

As far as soldering onto PCB is concerned, I try to keep the lowest setting possible. I only have a 15W radioshack soldering iron which is usually more than enough for these projects. Having flux, desoldering wick, and helping hands clamps are a must IMO. @Thatbraziliann That portion of the board is...
