Hello again everyone! It's been a minute. I've been doing a lot of work since my last update, so let my get you up to speed.


First, I tested my lipo battery charger, and it works great! It doesn't have any protection, so I'll have to be careful about that, but for now it will do fine. I may upgrade to a better battery circuit in the future.


Next, I spray painted my case, and it turned out pretty good! I messed up the top, but that's not a big deal.


I also downloaded and installed the operating system I will be using onto my raspberry pi. I'm using a modded version of retropie from Arcade Punks.


And finally, I started wiring up all my buttons! I haven't wired them to the teensy yet, as I need to figure out the placement of all the components first, but I have a good start.


I will be coming out with videos documenting my process very soon as well, so stay tuned!
