honestly, if audio isn't working it's best to take it out and have a look at all the soldering and wires, maybe something came loose.

As for the buttons not working in the grey/blue menus, that isn't out of the ordinary, those menus require a keyboard (or a keyboard emulation). It looks like you are using a teensy, not sure how they interpret buttons presses. But, wiring the controls to GPIO for example, makes the pi think of them as keyboard strokes, so you can navigate those menus. Worst case, connect a keyboard, or wirelessly connect via SSH to do the configurations.

So I received the save shutdown pcb from camble and i'm very happy with it.
The only thing is that I don't get it to work...

When I switch it on the blue power light goes on and my pi starts running. But when I try to charge the orange led stays off. I let the power on for 30 seconds without charging and the battery remained cool.

I followed this diagram since I use a micro usb breakout board And this is how my wiring is. I know it's horrible. It's my first build. But does anyone have a good diagram or maybe tips on how to fix my problem?
BTW I Dont't have an all in one board, to be clear.

have you installed the script.....


.

yes. I installed it using my pi 3 so I could SSH. Then I downloaded the script via the given commands. It seemed to work when I ran the test script for the video. But maybe I did something wrong?

But what does that have to do with not charging if I may ask?

it also looks like your wired the USB charging port back to front...

double check your Ground and Power (USB)


it looks like you have GND wired to the USB on the powerboost
and the 5v wired to the GND on the powerboost




another little tip, never glue anything until you know its working
(i've never glued my solder work, i trust my soldering and the wires i use)

OMG. I made literally the same mistake twice!!! How stupid.
thanks for your sharp view

Oh I was also having isues with my screen. It seems to be dead... the last time I started the pi the screen only showed the colors blue and red. Now the screen is completely black. ( The wiring is so bad because i'm still testing )

any ideas?

Wiring:

Try re-inserting the LCD's ribbon.

I tried that. The screen seems to be getting power. When I turn the power on I see some change in the screen, but it is minor. It's like there is no signal but defenitly power.

I don't want to sound harsh...
But that's a complete mess you've got your self into there....

I really can't get why people are rushing to glue things in when they haven't even tested everything and made sure it's all working...

Firstly I'd sort your wiring out, there's no way of knowing if you've even wired it properly...
(Especially the joined wires, have one clean wire from point to point)

Then check your ribbon cable, if you were getting something, there's a high chance it wasn't seated/connected properly....

The issue you have (by the looks of it) is that you glued other thing already on top of the screen (even though you didn't have it working properly)
