Adding a headphone port/jack?

Post by Akari_Enderwolf » Thu Aug 10, 2017 9:51 pm

I'm just wondering if anyone has figured out a way to add the detached headphone port/jack piece to the MintyPi to make it possible to hear games when on a bus or train without disturbing other people.

I would like to take this system with me when I go on vacation and such, and it would help to be able to just plug in my earbuds and have the sound switch from the speaker to my earbuds.

I'm asking here mainly to see if anyone has figured out where to fit the port on the tin. My thought was that if you move the crystal for the soundcard to some of the empty space from the smaller power supply board then the headphone port could maybe fit where the crystal is glued in the video instructions.

If I go with this build(wont start till next year) I'm going to try and cut his printed part to the right of the start/select buttons and wire it there. Would have to drill a hole big enough and position it so that the medal from the head phones wont touch the tin. I too would like to use it somewhere that requires headphones.

Already been asked about and in the General Help forum. Go look there and do a search in the future, no need to have multiple threads about the same thing everywhere.
