[SOLVED] GBZ rebooting over and over - First Build
Posted: Sat Mar 17, 2018 2:59 am
I just finished the GBZ, following Wermys guide. When I hit the power switch the Blue light turns on on the Powerboost and the screen turns on, then immediatly, it flickers off, and so does the blue light on the powerboost, and then it keeps doing that over and over.
Before I had hooked everything up, i tested just the LCD and the Pi Zero, with power going through the Pi Zero, and both worked fine.
Now with everything connected it just keeps rebooting.
I tried plugging the Battery pack in, and it does the same thing, with our without the battery.
I plugged in microHDMI and the PI boots up just fine to a monitor. With the same USB power cable going through the Micro-B Breakout board. Im guessing the issue then is with the LCD not getting enough power?
Any help would be appreciated.
My screen is the Variant 7 found on this page, https://www.sudomod.com/wiki/index.php?title=GBZ_Screen, and I soldered it using method 2.

RASPBERRY PI ZERO W
