#2 Non-AiO build.
This build has been a long time project of mine, something I would take down, tinker with a bit and put away for a month or two before remembering it and repeating the take it down and tinker with it then put it away again. I wanted to take a stab at not using an AiO board and doing the internals myself. I used one of Erik's common ground boards as the base, I could have just wired up to GPIO pins but at the time picked up a teensy and got it programmed so I went a head and used it. Mid way thru the BW screen I used went belly up... After a half dozen attempts to figure out what might be wrong on the board or screen and swapping out every thing I could think of I went a head and pulled the screen and brackets out.
While looking through some other builds in the show off section and debating putting the build up for another bit or buying another BW screen I looked through a few builds using SPI screens. After poking around a bit I found myself on PocketAdventures.com and decided to give one of their SPI screens a go, as long as I was there I ordered a few other parts as well. I made a low pass filter following the steps wermy showed in his original how to video but PA had a dual channel filter as well as a two channel audio amplifier. Being inexpensive I picked both up and one of their GPIO assist boards just to look at, I gotta say I'm impressed with the GPIO board, even if not using the GPIO pins for button presses it makes hooking up to the pie super easy.
