Colour: Using colour in your photos can help get people's attention. You can do this in a variety of ways. You can create contrast with your PCB and the background, wires, or components by choosing a very different colour like @davedarko did...
The Basics I found a plan on this website. It's not a bad start but the design misses a few key dimensions - we had to work out a few of them with a bit of maths. Still, it's something. We built the cabinet out of 12mm plywood which is quite strong,...
To build a Retro Game Machine, you need a Raspberry Pi, a Piboxy Case, a Game Controller, a Speaker and a Screen at least. Piboxy Case is used as Power Control, which allows you control your Paspberry Pi via on-case buttons and IR. So you need to connect...
Retro Style Home Computer Case by thelabguy - Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6444015 Assuming that you have the same keyboard as me, the easiest thing to do will be to download the STL files from Thingiverse, using the link above and send...
This bad boy can run most of the games that doesnt require a graphic card because I'm into retro stuff, I loaded up PPSSPP which is a PlayStation portable Emulator, and run the Dragon Ball Z - Shin Budokai which is a title from 2006 made for PSP, I tried...
It is possible to enable WiFi automatically by creating a configuration file with the settings in /retro-go/config/wifi.json on the SD card. { "ssid": "your_router_ssid", "password": "your_network_password" } After establishing a successful network connection,...
Using hot glue gun or petroleum glue fix everything after you finish connecting the circuitry. You can cut wood laminate plates in the same shapes and stick it over your speakers. This gives the retro or the 20th-century radio look.
If you came here from the Retro LED-Beamer Project, you want to do this step first. It's about mounting the DS18B20 to the heat spreader/LED unit to measure the LED temperature. Don't buy the transistor alone but rather buy the complete probe consisting...
Unfortunately, the lacking audio output is the only shortcoming of the otherwise perfect retro display. So I'll need to think about a different solution. On the C64, the Audio/Video connector (among others) provides connections for Video-Out and Audio-Out...
The Adafruit 911 display's PCB has a small pigtail coming with it that has a red, black, white and yellow wire (the latter soldered to a RCA/FBAS connector). The red and black wires are for the power connection. If you plan to just use RCA/FBAS with...
If you have been working with HDMI and the Raspberry Pi not connected to the RCA/FBAS display, you should now put the Raspberry Pi inside the Retro LED-Beamer and connect the RCA/FBAS output to the display. Start everything up, you should see a small...
Double and if necessary, triple check, the cabling and wires, especially the HDMI power connector header plug. is it definitely on the correct end of the PCB connector (see photos) ?is the RED wire definitely going to PIN 40 of the PCB connector?is the...
Let's talk about external display now, because this project apparently has 2 hearts, the second heart is the display. when it comes to displays, we can find a bunch of them, both for HDMI ports and the ribbon cable one. they all work perfectly well but...
If you're looking for a fun and easy way to get started with Raspberry Pi, then creating a simple project is the way to go. By doing this, you'll be able to get a feel for how Raspberry Pi works and how to use it to create your own projects. There are...
RetroPie system We can download RetroPie system image from here, unzip and use Win32DiskImager burn it to a TF card after it downloaded. Then insert the TF card to your Raspberry Pi, if you already pulled your Pi into Piboxy Case, you can use...
