A custom-built handheld console using a Raspberry Pi, OLED display, 4x4 keypad, and a battery
management system for mobile usage and long battery life.
Currently, I have finished all the electronic and software parts of this project, and am
learning how to 3D model a case for 3D printing!
The photos below show some of the important or exciting moments during the development process.
My first successful prototype!
Created a 4x4 keypad with a custom made PCB, and learned how to solder to combine all my parts.
I also added a ATXRaspi, Powerboost 1000C, and lithium ion battery to allow me to turn on and off the Raspberry Pi with a press of a button!
The last thing I needed was a case to make it look presentable!
I designed and 3D-printed for the first time ever (shoutout onShape for being super beginner friendly)!
My handheld Chip8 Device is done!
Another angle of my Chip8, showing the power button, 'switch game' button, a status LED, and a charging port!
