A project log for PiBoy-Zero

yet another portable console! ;-) roughly the size of a gameboy micro, with a 2.2" display

while the front solder pads line up nicely

the through-hole solder-points for the usb connection do not :-(


another problem - which wasn't visible in the pictures of the pi zero - is that the back side is not completely empty and flat

, the hdmi socket has some mounting tabs which protrude a tiny bit

will have to include some sort of cutout to accommodate those :-\


this is what happens if you start designing a PCB without the major components at hand to recheck the dimensions :-P

oh well, i'll keep on adding and testing the other functional groups - maybe there are more bugs waiting to be uncovered :-)

I suppose just holes for the hdmi and usb socket metal bits would be enough -- now that you have the pi zero, you can align them precisely.

That paper under the power module looks like you cut out a hole in the PCB -- it got me confused at first.

I didn't realise it was paper until you pointed it out!
