Hrmm. Speaker sounded terrible after loading some games so I went to investigate. The front face of the speaker seems to have laminated itself to the printed grille? I printed this a week ago. It wasn’t a hot part. Can a speaker get that hot?

I reassembled speaker-less for now.

A photo of the components inside the PiTin unit. The previously glued together speaker has come apart and some of the black on the outer membrane is stuck to the grill of the printed cover.

Well look at that. It wasn’t too hard at all. Time to charge it up and add some ROMs

An assembled version of the handheld components pictured in a previous post. It is now a small flip screen handheld with a basic dpad and four button controls. The screen is showing the splash screen for retropie.

More fun graphics on circuit boards please.

The opposite side of one of the previously shown circuit boards showing that it is covered in small line at cartoon drawings.

Let’s see if I can turn this into a #gamedad …

On a workbench sits a cutting mat standing in for a proper esd mat that I don’t own.

On top of the cutting mat sits a handful of 3d printed parts, loose circuit boards, one speaker, a small display, and a LiPo pouch cell battery.

I love this use of “extra” space from the Pi-Tin folks. I’m a competent enough solderer, but it will still be kind of fun and reassuring to test my skills with the extra bits.

…Or maybe I use it to teach my 8yo about soldering…
