I already love this thread.

And we didn't even get to the Pi4 arcade yet!

I just started filling up an SD card for the MiSTer I've had for almost a year now actually.
Previously knew nothing of Linux either so this alone is an education (that I may be getting a 'C-' in so far-)

Yeah..., I am REALLY late to this whole party.

And... wood filament?!?!
:D

Ond:
That's why I post these things. Maybe something useful for others in it. Heh, a C- in Linux is actually pretty good. The OS just reminds of the days pre Windows when we did everything at the command line.

So a splash of Donkey Kong Blue and this is starting to look a bit more tasty.

Pack the hardware into the case, not enough room to swing a gnat :D

Powered up there's a faint multi-colored glow visible through the mesh from the pi board, USB Hub, WiFi dongle and an extra blue LED I added.

Pi online!

I think I'll add a stenciled Raspberry Pi logo to the lid, just to customize it a bit further. Other than that it's done.

The Pi 4 project will be a separate thread, posted on the correct board of course :cheers:

Nice work OND!!
I love working with the RPi's, even though they can be a challenge when you are used to working with DOS and even thats been years ago.
What are you using to switch it on and off?
I like the mausberry switch circuit and have used it on all my RPi builds, but it's about half the cost of the RPi, so Ive got my eyes open for a cheaper way to do the safe shutdown thinggy.
I have come up with several circuits to do it, but if I had to buy the parts, and not have them in my junk box already, plus time it takes to put together, its probably cheaper to go with the mausberry, at least thats what i keep telling myself.

Ond:
Thanks DaOld Man, to switch this on and off I use a momentary switch across pins 5-6 and script which you can install with:

git clone https://github.com/Howchoo/pi-power-button.git ./pi-power-button/script/install

Technically this does not completely remove power from the pi, but it does shut it down cleanly. Press the button, it boots up no problem. :cheers:

DaOld Man:
Thanks OND, so this puts the RPi to sleep, right?
Or is the RPi always looking for SCL input while powered?
