Check my wiring diagram please?

Post by Gnome Sane » Mon Aug 20, 2018 8:10 pm

Can someone please sanity-check my wiring diagram? The parts I have are:
TinkeryBOY 2.2
GearBest Screen
PowerBoost 1000C
Safe Shutdown v1.2 (for PowerBoost)
Powerstrip PCB from Helder

I don't have the speaker/volume included here...I can figure that part out.

This diagram is a combination of:
"Safe Shutdown v1.2 (for PowerBoost)" wiring diagram on https://sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2260
"Wiring Guide for Game Boy Controller v2.1/v2.2" at http://www.tinkerboy.xyz/wiring-guide-f ... ller-v2-1/
and
"How To Wire The Micro USB 4-Wire Data Cable" at http://www.tinkerboy.xyz/how-to-wire-th ... ata-cable/

The power (5V/gnd) wiring is what I'm most unsure of. This is my first build so I want to check twice, solder once...or something like that! Thanks!!

I was basing my GearBest screen wiring from this earlier post on your website:
http://www.tinkerboy.xyz/screen-wiring- ... v2-1-v1-1/
...but I'll check that out - thanks!

And I wasn't sure if this was a support question or not, so I'll post this there. Thanks again!

Hi, I'm doing the same build with the v2.2 board but I don't have the Safe Shutdown v1.2 (for PowerBoost) or Powerstrip PCB from Helder, are they necessary? I am following the tinkerboy wiring guide from this page http://www.tinkerboy.xyz/wiring-guide-f ... ller-v2-1/ The Powerstrip in your diagram looks like a way to consolidate 5v and Ground connections, could the same be done with some perf board?

The other thing stumping me is connecting a female USB port for connecting flash drives etc. On another post here it sounded like you wire the data cables to the same points on the PI that the micro USB data cable is already running to for the Tinkerboy board but, I have a feeling that can't be right? I need to add a USB hub in there in order to connect more than one USB device.

Thanks
