Kubino's GBZ - WIP

Post by kubino » Fri May 12, 2017 4:00 am

thanks to this forum I also decided to make my 1st simple GBZ. The goals are:
  • clean and simple build, most done by CNC routing and 3d printing
  • L1 and L2 on back with custom PCB and 3d printed buttons
  • redesign HoolyHoo's bracket to mach my case
  • put pi0 to cartridge case for easy SD access
  • use GPIO pins instead of arduino/teensy
here is the build progress:

I was the "lucky one" and got big LCD board with button board. Decided to keep it buttons for future use:

Please ignore my crappy soldering, also caused by my wrong design of ground pads

seems like D-PAD can be used original, rest buttons will be redesigned

Nice! I would love to see how they look installed, if possible.
