It's really cool.
I was lucky enough to get in on the first run of orders and receive TP002! (Thanks for the bonus gift and Haribo!)
Having had to wait for a new supply of Pi, my build was delayed so I spent some time printing off moose' build guide and getting all the required parts together.
This project requires some fine soldering as moosepr advises. If you're lucky like me your short range eyesight is a lot better than your long range so glasses etc weren't required but take into account its super fiddly in some areas....the resistor for example! Don't overdo it with solder or leave your iron on too long.
The advice found in the guide to tin one pad, leg (tactile) switch is golden so please follow the guide to a tee.
It's really good idea to use a 3rd hand / magnifying glass to check for bridges between joins etc.
As for this build, its not quite finished yet. I haven't wired the battery or power supply on as it got late and so I just tested via 5v USB on Pi.
I also plan to house in the 3D printed case, something I've started producing already.
Also mentioned in the guide there is no room for test pads so if you're doing this project, solder as best you can using flux for tougher pins (GND etc) and then test.
Moose was kind enough to provide me with a schematic and some info so I could target those specific pins where I had issue.
On first run the screen never worked - this has now been fixed post some reflowing
Currently all that's outstanding functionality wise is the joystick so i'll work on the GPIO pine in due course to rectify.
One thing I did deviate from the guide was the screw placement when soldering. My PCB started to bow outwards so using the screws on the back held the pi and PCB firm without this effect.
Here's some build pics so far and useful links:
