Button PCB samples got here! Picture and small update added to the first post. 

Re: mintyPi 2.0 News & Updates
Looking good! Btw - what kind of screws are you using for holding the parts together?

Re: mintyPi 2.0 News & Updates
Sorry to jump in a bit late.. but, would it be easier to use the smt header row like the snes pcb board made by prerunnerseth?
From the pictures it looks like a solder through hole.. (sorry if I'm saying wrong things)
But it looks great anyway

Cheers!

I don't think there's room for the additional thickness.drafterITA wrote: ↑Sat May 06, 2017 12:28 pmSorry to jump in a bit late.. but, would it be easier to use the smt header row like the snes pcb board made by prerunnerseth?

Re: mintyPi 2.0 News & Updates
There is no room for headers of any kind and you only really need to solder 19 pins not all of them. But as we have it now if a tiny bit of solder is added to the controller pcb gpio pads just screwing both the pi and controller board like Wermy has in his pictures will make enough surface contact where you will probably not need to solder anything!!drafterITA wrote: ↑Sat May 06, 2017 12:28 pmSorry to jump in a bit late.. but, would it be easier to use the smt header row like the snes pcb board made by prerunnerseth?
