So originally I wanted to make a build log but I couldn't keep it consistent and I'm waiting for my new soldering station to come. so I'll just leave this here for archival purposes (?)

So I decided to make a build topic right now, since I have (ordered) a lot of parts.
Hell, might as well since @VeteranGamer did it as well.
Just going to flat out thank the entire sudomod community, no forum member is exempt :D

Parts
So here's the parts I have, as well as the ones which are coming soon.
Green: On hand Red: Not on hand
  • Raspberry Pi Zero W
  • mintyPi screen+board combo
  • 1200mAh Lithium Battery
  • PCM2704 USB DAC Sound card
  • Tactile Switches
  • 3D-Printed Parts
  • Speaker
  • Micro LiPo Battery Charger
  • DS Lite Buttons
  • SPDT Power Switch
  • More Mint Tins
Now I have to try my hand at soldering 😬

Most of the stuff that I don't have on hand are in my US Mailbox (Cheaper if not free shipping because shipping to Canada is so daMN HIgHH)

Soooooon. Almost done recording, and spent several hours last night editing. Really hoping to finish up this weekend, we'll see how it goes.
