Retro Pie Box Version 2 - Portable Raspberry Pi Emulation Consol

pinshape

THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN RETIRED. I'm putting my focus on Version 3! This is an update to my previous Retro Pie Box, featuring a new Raspberry Pi B2 and simplified design. Here's a video of it in action - http://youtu.be/viSYd8yeHJs. The new case has enough room for controllers, a mini keyboard, or a spare phone battery charger. The main features include: The lid of the left side now holds the RPi, with USB/Ethernet available through the open side. A single 3.7v 6600mAh lipo battery provides power instead of two batteries. Charging is done through an Adafruit PowerBoost 500+ - http://www.adafruit.com/product/1944. The system has a power switch that turns white when on, and a reset switch that's green when USB power is provided. A funny problem I've encountered is that the bottom of the case tends to fall backwards due to the weight of the screen. I'll need to add a counterweight soon. To build this project, you'll need: Pelican 1200 Case - http://www.amazon.com/Pelican-1200-Case-Camera-Black/dp/B0002INQT2 7" TFT LCD Monitor - http://www.amazon.com/RearView-Headrest-Monitor-Support-Rotating/dp/B007SLDF7O/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1424300291&sr=1-1&keywords=7+inch+tft+lcd Raspberry Pi Model B 2 - http://www.adafruit.com/product/2358 PowerBoost 500 - http://www.adafruit.com/product/1944 Lithium Ion Battery 6600mAh - http://www.adafruit.com/product/353 Panel Mount HDMI Cable - http://www.adafruit.com/products/978 Metal on/off switch with LED Ring - http://www.adafruit.com/products/917 16mm Momentary Pushbutton - http://www.adafruit.com/products/1440 2 x DIY Micro B Plugs - http://www.adafruit.com/products/1826 USB DIY MicroB Female Plug - http://www.adafruit.com/products/1829
