MintyPi Parts List Help

Post by fluzz » Thu Sep 07, 2017 8:26 pm

Hi,

I'm not very experienced with building things and I have a few questions about building a MintyPi. I've been using the parts list: http://www.sudomod.com/wiki/index.php?title=MintyPi.

1. Is Helder's screen and button PCB (http://market.sudomod.com/mintypi-scree ... n-pcb-set/) still available anywhere else? It says Sold Out (http://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3157) :cry:
2. If I don't use Helder's screen and button PCB and use the screen from ebay instead, where can I get the PCB? It doesn't look like it's on the parts list.
3. Again, if I don't use Helder's screen and button PCB, where can I get Tactile Switches?
4. Any recommendations on where to buy screws?

Thanks for any help!

They'll be up for sale again in a few weeks.

Just got a small test batch of the new kits with screens and all is good. So in 2 weeks or maybe less you can buy the kits.

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

We will not support any cloned work so don't come to us with technical issues to resolve, go talk to the cloner for help.

1. Not really. Some people may have extras to sell (they do get listed on the site occasionally), but the only real source for Helder's boards is Helder. And as you've seen, he'll have more soon.
2. See above.
3. Ebay, Aliexpress, Amazon... any place that sells electronic components. You should be able to buy 50 - 100 tact switches for $1 on eBay, for instance. And it'd be worth buying them now, since free shipping from China is kind of slow, so they'll have a head start by the time Helder gets a re-stock on his PCBs.
4. See above. Ebay or Aliexpress would be cheaper, Amazon will be faster.
