I unveil to you all, the CrapCube. I've worked on this portable for a year now and I'm tired of fixing all the problems it had. I should've listened to everyone back in 2015/2016 that gamecube portables are obselete. After a year of stubbornness, I've finally decided to move on...

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed.

Has anyone used these PCMs? http://www.batteryspace.com/PCB-for-11.1V-Li-Ion-Battery-Pack-4.0A-limit-----PCM-L03S04-559.aspx I connect it exactly as it says in the instructions, but for some reason the P+ and P- are always 0 volts. I bought 4 of them and tried connecting the batteries to all 4...

Good luck everyone, and have a wonderful holiday!

I'm making a case for my GC portable, and I was wondering about what material I should use. I plan on using PLA for my case with 4mm thickness. For others who have made cases using PLA, did you notice any warping of the plastic when the portable is on or when it gets a little hot? If there is a...

It just takes a while to boot up. I've got a raspberry pi 3, so hopefully it'll boot up faster than the rpi 2.

I want to get rid of this LCD. It's one of those Dalian Good Display LCDs, so it takes composite video and vga, and requires 12v for power. Condition: - The LCD works 100% perfectly - The bezel is quite scuffed - The 5 buttons on the controls have been desoldered - The connectors on the...

Added pictures of the guts in the first post.

Sanding + spot putty. It would have looked much cleaner if I used something thicker than spot putty, like bondo, but I didn't have access to it at the time.

I recently finished a Raspberry Pi Portable designed for emulating retro games. It's not as perfect as I want it to be, but future iterations will put this one to shame. Video: Comrpised of: 3D Printed Case Raspberry Pi 2 B+ Model 3.5" Car LCD w/ composite video USB SNES Controller Low...

Thanks, Shockslayer. That's exactly what I wanted. Everything seems to be working now.

I'm not using a smart charger. I'm using an Adafruit Powerboost 1000c for a raspberry pi portable, but the LEDs don't light up when I want them to. I want to make a separate low battery and full charge indicator. I've got the low battery indicator working, and now I just need the full charge...

Does anyone know how to build a circuit that turns an LED on when the voltage source goes above a certain voltage without using a zener diode? I've tried implementing a few ideas but they don't work as well as I want them to.
