Portable game station RPi2

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?
want to get a tft into your project, look no further than here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7464/ili9341-tft-screen-guide

@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. -
AWESOME project build man!!!
I am seriously impressed :)
-
Amazing - love it :-)
-
Just wow
-
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!

@Zigurana

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. :-)
-
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!
-
Great work @stahl80. I can see that a lot of care and attention to detail went into this and it has really paid off. The finished article is fantastic.
Well done!
