Mintypi Hole Guide with HDMI

Post by coolcrawler » Sun Aug 19, 2018 12:32 am

I thought that the mini HDMI could be used on the Raspberry Pi Zero W to connect to TV's and use the mintypi as a game controller. I loaded the original hole guide into Fusion 360 and did a slight modification. This should let you make a hole for the mini HDMI. Just do the same as the other holes.

Good idea for the v1/v2 but sure how many people will use it though. On the upcoming v3 the usb is free so having the port exposed isn't a bad idea.

I designed it for the V1/V2 for the people who want to modify their tin already. I thought it was a good idea as it wouldn't involve any technical differences, just cutting an extra hole. Why don't people like this idea?

More work trying to get it lined up properly and all the filing and me personally I don't like hooking up my portable to a tv to play hence why they are called portables.
