      Here’s my take on the Pi Zero in a NES cartridge. It’s my first build beyond a store bought case, and I’m actually pretty happy with how it turned out. Even more important than my opinion is the fact that the recipient was very excited. He’s 4, loves Spider-Man, and is just starting to really get into video games. What better excuse to fire up the soldering iron, bust out the dremel, and make something that he’ll be able to play for years. Anyway, enough about the back story, here’s what I pieced together in about 4 hours on the eve of Christmas Eve:

      tumblr album because I haven’t figured out how to post individual pictures yet. It actually took me 4 tries to get this right

      Parts:
      Pi Zero W
      Adaftuit OTG micro usb hub (modified)
      HDMI adapter
      DC jack and Powersupply
      Power Switch (sourced from Adafruit hub)

      Tools:
      Soldering Iron
      Dremel
      About a gallon of coffee
      Lots of spare wire

      I hope you all enjoy the pictures , I certainly had fun making it.
