So I am building one similaR to yours, however I am going much deeper into detail. I am putting speakers mounted onto the polycarbonate and will be drilling holes like you did for your joystick shaft holder. I will be putting all together, 45 holes into the thing (only 19 of the 45 bigger than a normal standoff hole) Hopefully the polycarbonate will hold up and stay strong!

Very nice. I built a similar unit with a 10.1” monitor a couple years ago. They key is finding the right power bank because if it doesn’t have the right juice you’ll get the yellow lighting bolt on your Pi and can be hard on the software and on the micro SD card and cause it to shut down suddenly.

@Howchoo 4 жыл бұрын

Sounds like a fun project. And yeah, you’re totally right - the overall maximum output and output per port are key. I haven’t hit an undervolt indicator with this one, but I have a feeling I might with the Pi 4.

My project is done. I did go for the Nanuk 915 case. It isn't big enough to run normal HDMI and Power wire for the monitor. I was able to use a HDMI 90 degree normal (Sorta) and had to get a ribbon power line, like you showed. I will need to find a way to space the monitor from the lid of the case because the HDMI I opted to use does not quite have clearance. My monitor is not making complete contact with the Velcro. But other then those small snags, this was a fun project.

I’m not sure, it depends on the monitor; you’d just need to look at the data sheet for the monitor to see how much it consumes and find a power bank that can output enough amperage for both that and the Pi simultaneously. Normally the monitor specs will list how much power it uses.

@leonielson7138 4 жыл бұрын

I know that I could buy a better laptop for cheep, but a part of me likes the all-in-one laptop/carrying case design and the DIY aspect. Instead of using the acrylic piece to hold buttons I'd cut down a portion to one side (about the size of the leftover in your arcade guide) to hold the Raspberry Pi 4 and either a M.2 or 2.5" SSD hat, upside down from the acrylic with holes cut out for a small fan, with the power supply velcroed in place beneath them. A USB keyboard and Mouse would have to fit inside, but I'd want the keyboard removable so that I can hold it in my lap while the screen sits on a table, that way I don't have my chin in my chest while I'm typing.

Good power banks will list both ;) Of course, once the cell gets boosted to 5V, its mAh is lowered; a lot of manufacturers will try to hook you in with a super high capacity listed as the cell's voltage (3.7V), but that value gets reduced a lot at 5V. I made sure to list the 5V capacity, even though the 3.7V value was higher. Great question btw! You have keen eye

Jürgen W No mine doesn’t-that’s really strange, does it sound like an electrical whine or a sound coming from the speakers? As for the Velcro, I would test sticking a strip on there to make sure the issue is the adhesive and not that the Velcro isn’t touching the case fully (the screen has a groove to it so if it’s not in the right spot, it might not adhere properly). Let me know how that goes, I’ll check back tonight or tomorrow

The exact Velcro I used is linked in the full guide in the video description. If your case is deeper than mine, you could make your own flush VESA mount to secure it; or, you could 3D model and print some brackets if you have the access and ability. Of course, you could always still holes in the case and secure with some nice-looking screws, but then it loses its waterproofness (unless you use rubber washers or a gasket). Either way, I wouldn’t recommend glue or anything permanent :)

On the console edition, can i use any immolator or do it have to be Super Nintendo?

The operating system (retropie) can emulate tons of different consoles, just check out their website!

I have an issue that I hope you can help me with. I purchased the recommended screen from the link you posted but now they ship the monitor with the USB-C 5v port instead of the Micro-USB. I tried to use the USB-C port for power to the battery but it just flashes. Have you seen this yet! Or has someone asked you about this? I’m trying to research and some people are saying that I have to use the 12v power adapter which defeats the purpose of the “portable” unit. Please let me know when you get a chance. This is frustrating 😅.

I figured out the issue is with the FPV usb-c cable. It doesn’t allow enough power to pass through. I think I’ll have to get the Nanuk 915 hard case and hope it’s big enough.

Is there a good clearance for the arcade stick? I was thinking of buying the phreakmods quick release but it sits higher than the sanwa. I can't get the sanwa JLFD-TP-8YT cause they're out of stock.

Oh man, it's possible Coronavirus is disrupting the supply chain-hopefully they didn't discontinue it. Not sure on clearance, but most [good] joysticks are the same height (for stashing). Any removable joystick should be completely flush with the main panel after removal since it mounts to the underside of the panel.

Does the pi3b prefer that orientation? I would think air holes up would keep it cooler.

The Flirc is a passive cooling case; the air holes did next to nothing. In fact, they removed them altogether from the Raspberry Pi 4 case (which runs hotter than the 3B+ featured in this video).

Hey I wanted to build this and got the screen and it is making a buzzing sound it’s no super loud but was wondering if yours is doing it also I am returning it today for a new one if you have the time let me know new one will be here on the 24

@Howchoo 4 жыл бұрын

That definitely sounds like a defect-I didn’t have any buzzing issues. Did they send you a new one?

@michaelallaire6296 4 жыл бұрын

Yes but had the same problem I am going to send it back and get a different kind thanks for replying

Very interesting but I feel like that joystick is going to go right through the screen with one of my friends at the controls.
