Retro Raspberry Pi Gear

thingiverse

This design was inspired by the Sega Game Gear, and closely matches its size in both overall dimensions, and screen size. The idea was to make a better version of the pigrrl 2 that was not so uncomfortable to hold, has increased battery capacity, available hdmi for dual viewing, and eliminated the awful speaker hum that the pigrrl 2 had. This desing incorporates a teensy for the controls so you have true analog for the joystick instead of a dpad function like other project. basically i took all the features i liked from other project, took out the ones i didnt, and added what i thought should be there. This design does allow you to use a set of pcb's i designed, and can be purchased rather cheap ($5) for both boards. I look forward to more designs in the future, and i hope that this one being released freely increases the interest in it. The pics dont show the tft buttons in place, but the files are provided, and there are 2 types of dpad given i had trouble printing the ones without the hole in the center. The other items you will need are as follows: 1x - Raspberry Pi 3 - Model B 1x - Adafruit Mono 2.5W Class D Audio Amplifier - PAM8302 1x - Breadboard-friendly SPDT Slide Switch (check measurements before ordering, i use non standard switches) 1x - Lithium Ion Polymer Battery - 3.7v 2500mAh (cylinder type, look like AA) 2x - Mini Metal Speaker w/ Wires - 8 ohm 0.5W 1x - PowerBoost 1000 Charger (500 will work with using a smaller screw) 1x - 16GB sandisk or samsung class 10 SD/MicroSD Memory Card with retropie/attract front end (link can be provided for a download because its real tricky getting the lcd to work) 1x - 3.2in TFT lcd for raspberry pi (cheap ebay ones work for the most part) 6x - 6mm Tactile Button switches 6x - 12mm Tactile Button switches (the kind with a keycap that is removable) 10x - #4-40 3/8 machine screws 4x - #2-56 3/8 machine sccrews 1x - ribbon cable to cut up for jumper wire connections, and possibly 22 gauge for connecting the analog stick Print Settings Printer: Flashforge Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2mm Infill: 10-20 Notes: speed for first layer was 40mm/sec and the rest was 60-80mm/sec. My printer runs real hot so i cant recommend a temp. Post-Printing
