My Raspberry Pi portable without HDMI!

starfire

Saw the first episode and came up with my own version

 

 

Was going to 3D print a case but found this and though it was perfect.

 

BTW that screen is really nice, found it on Amazon sold by iuniker.

  • How do you mount the controls to the Board? and could it be done with a modern controller, like xbox one?

    For Ben's design, the external case is designed to limit the wiggle room of the 3D printed buttons. The buttons rest on top of the PCB. No glue or screws, they are held in place by being pressed between the outer case and the PCB. Ben sometimes uses what he calls funky foam, which are adhesive back foam sheets you can get at a craft store. He then hand-cuts or laser cuts the funky foam to fit the buttons to act as a gasket if the buttons are too wiggly or there is a small gap to fill. The foam is rigid and thick enough to hold the buttons in place, but soft and squishy enough to allow for some movement.
