I actually found it quite therapeutic... Don't get me wrong, there were times when the special words were spoken but I've actually really enjoyed it so far. Looking forward to getting this one buttoned up so this can happen.... <evil_laugh></evil_laugh> :XD:

Hiya, well my google fu has failed me... I'm on a quest to understand my LCD driver a little more. It's a PCB800852. Specifically the backlight driver portion. In the hopes of modding/replacing it to be more efficient and offer variable brightness from within software. Can anyone help id...

Thank you very much for the kind words. My OCD is a blessing and a curse :XD:

Quick update... Finally got the Arduino wired up to controls, just need to finish tying the common grounds together and go over the code/test. I could do with more input pins, I'm considering a shift register or maybe trying the home menu board to the pi's gpio.

Nice, nothing like seamless integration to polish a project. I can only aspire to achieve the same for my hodgepodge pi build. Keep up the great work :)

Hi again, again :) Thank you for the suggestion, I did actually consider relying on the digital display from a powerbank at the beginning. However I am really looking for both a logic output as well as a HUD in software. (I'm sure such a "signal" could be plucked from the powerbank controller...

Minor update Speakers are in place, FFC for hdmi has been connected (for the last time, unless I break them out and wire in pairs down the road), audio and controller wiring has begun so many connections... so few colours lol... maybe going to fix that with ghetto cable ID rings (heat shrink...

Yes the power side is a major consideration. To design one from the ground up wasn't viable for me as I'm definitely not an EE! It's a juggling act of decent capacity, size, keeping up with the current draw and not taking an eternity to recharge, play and charge is also a "nice to have" At...

Ahh I see, mine is much less integrated and uses a usb dac which is probably giving me a larger than necessary overhead with power draw. I'll take a look at max ic, thanks for the heads up. Well, if you do decide to publish then I for one, would love to see it.

Thank you, there's a long way to go yet... and it will never compare to the retro lite cm4. That thing is beautiful! Thank you for the input re audio, can I ask why you moved away from the PAM? You should post up your build, would be nice to see some more examples on here.

Haha, I can definitely sense the "clap on, clap off" vibes in that video! I am blown away by this project, congratulations to you both!

Sorry I thought you were providing just 3v3 I've edited my post above as I gave you incorrect advice

Is it a fixed regulator or adjustable, fixed normally state voltage on them?

I think that might be the input pin of that regulator not the output? Is it a 1117?

Hi, do you have any photos of the board showing your modifications?

Quick update. Added another level to the plate, more room to mount the arduino and amp. I'm hoping another layer of separation for the amp will also be beneficial signal wise... Things are getting kind of busy in there now. With a bit of luck I'll be able to finish routing wires, whilst...

Yep I couldn't agree more, I think the gamepad is a brilliant platform to build on. Ok it's not the most svelte but I've thoroughly enjoyed using it so far. I have a second dead gamepad that will be the host for my wii trim once this is done, fingers crossed it goes smoothly! Thank you for the...

Minor update.... AMS1117 be gone! Pi is feeding the 1v8 and 3v3 to the driver board now. Unfortunately the 5v supply is still needed for the backlight boost circuit. And it survived my butchery! :D I didn't do any readings before or after unfortunately, will be interesting to see if...
