@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
Thanks for all the positiv comment, really cool you guys like it ;) -
The quality of the finish is simply amazing.
-
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!
-
That is fantastic !!! love what you have made.

@stahl80
The class turned out, console case. -
Those pelican cases aren't cheaper either!
-
This i a pice of art. I am truly impressed.
-
Thanks for all the positive comments!!!!
-
@stahl80 Then I'm gonna do a negative one: this gorgeus build is not mine! :-(
Congratulations dude!!
-
Fantastic build.
Two questions: How much does it weigh?
If you were to do it over again, what would you have done differently?
-
Not exactly sure about the weight, but quite heavy I would say. But not so heavy that its a issue, guess it's more of a bring it and play somewhere else than gaming on the go device. But of course it will work fine anywhere you can sit down and play.
What I would do different, quite hard question. A lot and nothing :). I'm pleased with the result with in mind that it's my first "major" build like this. I always wanted a bigger display but choose the smaller with powerconsumption and powerdraw in mind. I also wanted hdmi out but it wasn't possible to get that working smooth with that display and setup, also wanted a micro sd cardslot in the panel to swap between different systems quick but couldn't find a good panel mounted sd slot, still able to do that but directly on the Pi then.
Otherwise I think it turned out a lot like I imagine it :). And agin, thanks for all the positive comment, overwhelmed 😁.
