Raspberry Pi Based Handheld Gaming Case Raspberry Pi 3.5" HDMI Screen PowerBoost1000C 2x 18650 Batteries The goal is to attach all circuits, batteries, and Raspberry Pi to the main/center body. This allows for exchangeable face plates and easy access to all components. This remains a rough draft and will require tweaks yet, but I'll update this as I work through the first build. **Update** Assembling things starts to reveal that the HDMI bridge cannot be inserted properly. Part of the battery bridge had to be cut away. I'll update files once the build is complete. **Update #2** Adding a location for the power switch and audio circuit is necessary. The Pi3 and PowerBoost1000C do not play well together. Two lines were added to the config file to disable WIFI and Bluetooth to save power. It plays reasonably well after that with very few low power warnings once booted up. Disabling the "eth0" port for a few more milliamp savings is possible, but I have yet to try it. Turning the wifi back on if needed is an option; alternatively, using a USB WIFI dongle can be done now. The screen purchased is not ideal, and IPS would be preferred next time.
