      Thought I would show off my new case. Designed in Fusion360 and 3d printed on a Prusa Mk2 and Printrbot simple metal it features functioning buttons that shut down and start the Pi back up

      A script loaded at startup runs in the background and executes the shutdown command when the yellow button is pressed, I soldered pins onto the Pi’s restart header, connected to the green button which starts the pi backup

        @iclint this is glorious.

        If the button and joystick both worked to control games... That would be something to behold. Power button is a brilliant idea too though

              *You hear Michael Rosen somewhere in the distance:

              -clicking sound- "Noice"

              (No, but seriously this is pretty cool!)

              Don't sweat it.

                  Yeah, @iclint could've had power buttons on the side of the base and used the buttons on top for gaming purposes. Then it would have felt like a really cool RetroPie themed Atari 2600 controller. But, it looks cool anyways. 😊

                    Making one with a real arcade stick and buttons would be a peice of cake ... or pie.
