@lilbud i leave the first undefined and replace the second undefined with the url and nothin shows up in my post??

lilbud

Replace the one in the Parentheses.

lilbud

Go to the page itself, right click, open image in new tab. Copy THAT address and use that one in the parenthesis

Fantastic examples so far. I really admire your interior craftsmanship. Everything is very clean and orderly. It can seem strange to some, but when I work on similar projects, I can never fully enjoy the end product unless I put the proper care into the interior areas as you have here. Again, really nice.

edmaul69

@mediamogul thanks, my friend. I always do my best to make it as nice as possible. Dremeling Doesnt always ensure the best look inside unfortunately but at that point i figure "whose going to look in there?" But keeping everything tidy makes fixing something later easier and keeps stuff from breaking from moving. It takes me a long time sometimes to do stuff because i believe in always doing the best job you can.

I just made this the pi-stations splashscreen. Now it looks legit on bootup. :)

I like your Super Mario Bros. Zero Cart idea. Would be a fun next project when I'm done with my current one. I have like 6 Pi zero's I've been trying to figure out what to make with and this project seems right up my alley. Great work.

Yeah i still have 6 of them lying around. I am waiting on standard shipping for two more rockband usb hubs i ordered off ebay. (Standard shipping is a horrible shipping method...) i am doing a t.m.n.t. And a kung fu.

Thats great =] I hope those go as well as this one.

@edmaul69 hi im trying to do a psone screen hookup like this via the av is it possible you can post the pinout or a pic of a close up of the sodering for pinouts? Thanks!

edmaul69

@junkmang612 so if you look at the pic of the cut out av port the first pin is white audio. the second pin is red audio, then yellow video. the next pin is ground but i ended up having to solder ground to one of the 4 support pins outside of the pin header

Also remember the lcd uses a different voltage than the pi. You could use a voltage regulator to drop the power from 7.5 volts to 5v but you need to use a heatsink on it to keep it cool.

junkmang612

@edmaul69 thanks for the info. I ordered a ubec voltage regulator from adafruit. To drop the 7.5 to 5v.

edmaul69

@junkmang612 what is the amps output on the psone power supply?

Edit: appears to be 2 amps. That may or may not be enough for a pi 3. The lcd probably could run off of 5v. Are you attaching a hard drive or anything else to the pi?

junkmang612

@edmaul69 im using the psone lcd power output to connect to the power converter. The power from the psone lcd is 7.5v at 3 amps and the ubec will convert to 5v at 3 amps. Hopefully that should be enough for the pi and and a hard drive.

edmaul69

@junkmang612 yeah you should be just fine at 3 amps. As long as you use a usb 3.0 hard drive. The pi cant power a usb 2.0 hard drive on its own.
