@stahl80 What do the side and middle buttons do?

Fantastic!

The knob on the top is for volume control and the two buttons below that there is one for power in/off and one for computer/lcd on/off. The one for the computer/lcd is connected to a petrock powerblock that can safely shut down the pi. And from the powerblock's 5v out I'm controlling a relay that controls the 5v to the LCD so I get simultaneously on/off for the LCD and the pi goes on or off.

What does the Battery 100% and Battery 20% do, and why are their 2 of them?

@lilbud looks like there are 1 separate power circuits, i think one is for the Pi and the other for the screen?

stahl80

@moosepr
Yes that is correct, one circuit for each. There are LED's on the sides that will indicate when battery is 100%, 20% or if battery is charging.

@stahl80 I gather you're using the IO pins and you've programmed the pi to do that? :D That's sick!!!

@TheNerdyDev
I'm using a powerblock from petrockblogg to safely shut down the pi. That does use the io pins to achieve that.

Nicely documented, it's cool to see it grow from stuff-in-a-carton-box to proper finished!

I love how you finished the cutouts for the pads, with rubber foam for that nice fit and feel. Great!

You should be proud of yourself!

I almost couldn't believe it. Looks like a photo-shopped retro gaming dream. But when I saw the photograph of the "guts" of this James Bond suitcase I actually did start to believe it. Some handy people can make pieces of art w/ a Pi. Wish I had such talent. :-)

@Meneer-Jansen

Wow! Thanks a lot :). Yes, it's very real :).
You should try to build something, I'm sure you can make it! And a bouns is all the knowledge you get when doing it.

Incredible build!

Well done!
