Mini Arcade Cabinet Project - Raspberry Pi Forums
hi all, first post thought share mini arcade project.
saw idea while browsing while , thought "that'd cool project"
, here
cabinet made 6mm mdf 12mm mdf base. own design inspired full size cabs , other designs ive seen around.
parts - raspberry pi model b 8gb sd running retropie 2.3
7" lcd , control board removed old portable dvd
amplifier , speakers old computer speakers
12v 3a power supply (lcd, amp, lights , fan run on 12v)
adjustable 3a switching regulator set @ 5.2v pi
4 port usb hub
original xbox controller gutted pcb
, various switches , buttons
didn't many build photos here did take
did have little accident other week though, accidently shorted usb pins 12v supply in turn frizzled usb/ethernet chip after pi not boot , fuse , usb chip red hot.
have new rpi model 2 on way in mean time thought try fix it.
nothing lose , discovering there short on usb chip causing psu die, went removing offending usb chip. did cut legs stanley knife literally chiselled chip off pcb screwdriver.
desoldered rest of chips pins , cleaned pcb little plugged in...
, i'll damned, worked! in went sd card , booted fine, couldn't believe it!
next problem lack of usb after checking out pi's schematic, usb comes out of cpu , straight usb hub chip , goes pair of jumpers on pcb (r36 , r37) goes bottom usb port.
figured worth shot bridged jumpers shown here
plugged in keyboard, powered , away went! yipee!
still no network tho wifi dongle needs drivers downloaded , there no ethernet anymore, have ordered thishttp://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221730181305 ... ebidx%3ait , works out of box.
end putting pi2 in once arrives pib used other projects

very nice build, and, say, definition of 'resourceful'.
