Game Boy Zero - Gaboze Pocaio

Thanks
I've actually gone back to the drawing board. To make a more accurate fit

I'll post update to git this week

Following this. Just got two GBP's from eBay that are DOA and wanted to Pi0 / OPi0 them.

To avoid further questions, maybe save someone else the question, I saw the files on your GitHub for everything, does OSH also solder on all the IC's and surface mount components? I saw someone mentioned $10/board, which is perfect for me as I'd love to use the board in my GBP builds if possible rather than scratching out traces.

Thank you for your work!

OSHPark.com just makes the boards, they don't offer assembly.

yeah, all the prices i mentioned are just bare board prices.
I literally wouldn't know where to start with getting assembly done as well...

Thanks

ooh nice one. if poss, can you trim off as much superfluous board from the bottom below the start select buttons so I can get 2 copies on a 100x100mm panel? (a height of about 48/49 mm would be perfect. enough to fit some mousebites between them)

Okay, thank you for clarification!

I'd be interested in just the button PCBs for controls honestly. I can figure out audio and everything else myself.

very interested! I have an old gameboy color from my childhood that was broken that this would be perfect for

Maybe once the mintyPi stuff cools down I can revisit this since I already have a plain PCB for buttons but I don't want to hog all the work that 32teeth has already put into it. Competition and choices for the community is always a good thing and I didn't forget about abrugsch who plans to do a board as well.

That could take a while.
Quite a while indeed

Can't you work somehow together and share each others work privately. It sounds silly and obvious, I know, but could you explain what I am missing that holds you back from doing so? Cost splitting? Work redundancy? Work overload? Credit? Pride? ( ).

Anyway thanks for considering it.

Purely the fact that we haven't discussed it. That and I imagine Helder is super busy with fulfilling 450 minty pi orders...
personally I thought 32Teeth had abandoned his project (as it was "finished", and I didn't see any more activity from him) and really with these button PCB's there's probably not an easy way to share the work. Then there's the fact that I use KiCad, Helder uses Eagle and I think 32Teeth uses eagle (from the files in his github repo) and the 2 are totally not compatible either in file output (except gerbers, but even then they each have their quirks) or working method. then there's actually managing to collaborate when you have your own sproadic schedule of when you can work on side projects. just all the above makes collab almost more of a PITA than just doing it yourself
