✨ Welcome to the iNap Malinka main page! ✨iNap Malinka was mostly made as a decent Raspberry Pi based NRF24L01 transmitter. But as it turns out you can play some games on it as well! It's a small DIY handheld that runs RetroPie so any retro game, including ports, can be played on Malinka. But as it's mostly a device for tinkering on-the-go, there's an additional USB for any kind of peripheral, an HDMI port, and a decent audio section too.Not only that, it's just as big as your phone, with only 12mm thickness. Two joysticks, 3.5" capacitive touch screen, powered by Raspberry Pi Zero 2W.  But, if you're interested just about gaming, you can totally ignore the radio section and use it as a small, DIY handheld!Formally it's a mobile Human-Machine Interface (HMI), as besides of the NRF24L01 you can use WiFi and Bluetooth to control your devices!!❤ Why Malinka?small and compact sizebig, colorful LCD with touch!two joysticks allowing more modern games to be playedNRF24L01 radio makes it a perfect remote!!only 3 external ICs, without any aux microcontrollerstereo sound output and a headphone jackcustom overlaywith a keyboard, it can act as a little PCuses parts from Nintendo Switch💔 Why NOT?if you're a fan of Steam Deck, this device is probably too small for youlack of joystick pushbuttons as well as analog triggersmany tools are needed for assemblyintermediate soldering skills are neededuses parts from Nintendo Switch🚀 Features3.5" 480x320 ILI9488 screen with FT6236 capacitive touch controllerRaspberry Pi Zero 2W1500mAh lipo battery160x70x12mm (with case)two joysticks with 10 bit ADC MCP3008PAM8403 amplifier, stereoNRF24L01 PA+LNA radio with external antenna (optional)Micro-USB for peripherals and USB-C for charging🔨 KitsThere aren't any kits at the moment, you'll need to buy everything by yourself - please visit the wiki!If you want to sell kits of Malinka, please contact me.✏ To-dorange test videosans gaming videodoom gaming videoradio demo videoimprove software a little bitand finish wiki ofc😎 Find the project elsewhereOSHWLab for schematics and PCB sourceGitHub for wiki and hardware sourceHackaday for funinstructables: not yet!  Printables for 3D modelsThingiverse for 3D models but ewIf the project becomes quite popular, I may create a discord server or subreddit dedicated to Malinka!🤝 LicenseLicensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 - that means you can share, contribute, modify, and remix the source as much as you want!Please remember to mention the original author and dont change the license.
