About the USB cable, I went to Goodwill and bought one of the older style USB cables used for Printers. The one where it has a more square end on one end. If you get to Goodwill on a 1/2 off day, you can get a cable for $.50. I figured that old style of cable would be properly gauged since a lot of things that use that kind of plug, need the power.

EDIT:
The reason I am asking is that I am annotating pictures of each of the components for my own notes. I am sure that this probably already exists somewhere, but I will actually learn it better if I do this myself.

Thanks,

I'm assuming you're talking about the microusb port.
The power wires from the microusb port go directly to the powerboost because they are for powering your powerboost, in turn charging your battery. They are a power INPUT to the powerboost.
The other power wires inside your gameboy zero are the OUTPUT from your power boost, and is used internally to power everything inside your gameboy zero.
The two cannot be crossed or connected together.

Do you no longer need a teensy if using Helders v2 AIO board?

Awesome, thanks. I finally got my hands on a board so I'm trying to figure out what parts I still need.
