Super Game PiSP by Carasibana

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

When I first saw the PiGRRL released by Adafruit I knew that I had to build one, but I wanted to tweak it a little, then part way through my design process Adafruit upped their game and released the [Super Game Pi]( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:629873 )!
But I had a problem, it was too large for my Printrbot! D:
So I designed this, my version of the Super Game Pi , which I call the Super Game PiSP, because I based the basic shape off of the PSP.
I had a few things in mind making it, namely:
It had to print on my Printrbot Simple Metal ( ~ 150mm ^3 volume )
I wanted to reduce the visibility of screws in the design ( my component mounting screws are internal )
I wanted a more rounded design
I wanted the battery to be internal
I wanted to use the Pi B+ ( and now it can use the Pi 2 B ! :D )
I wanted to use tac buttons , and not have to cut up a game controller PCB
So with those in mind I created this!
The electronics and setup are nearly identical to the guide for the Super Game Pi https://learn.adafruit.com/super-game-pi , except I used a Pi B+ , and tac switches instead of a hacked up game pad
I'll post more detailed information later, but I want to get this released before I head to work! ( More detailed information now available on the instructions page, as well as pictures of the internals )
Inspired by, but not directly derived from the Super Game Pi ( used it as reference for quite a few measurements )
