Title: Raspberry pi handheld emulator
Post by: Duhjoker on August 28, 2016, 04:21:12 am

   HI guys

   I've been playing around with Pi for a while and have already built a portable version to replace my laptop for out of the house applications.

   Any way I want to build thin held hand game system using a Pi 3 and a 3.5 inch TFT. I've started the build process but I've run into a problem. I'm using thie instructables tutorial for a $20 handheld using a Pi 3 but a couple of the gpio pins it tells me to use for buttons are already occupied by the TFT.

   So what I'm asking is if I can use any of the other gpio pins that aren't being used instead?


Here's the tutorial link....

Nothing I can do about that. It's thier web page it does the same to me, I just have to grin and bare it.

  The way websites are built now with so much advertising and just general crap, it causes super long scripts that are very hard on a computers browser and even tablets so it cause the web browser to restart the page over and over again trying to finish the script.
