Post links to your Pi projects

It's a vertical RetroPie bartop with the key feature that the LED marquee will change to match the selected game. Also the characters on the sides are laser cut inlays and not stickers.

Very nice. 

Posting a link to my Pi build here (about 50% done). Quite enjoying it so far and can definitely see me building more in the future. When I can sort out the power problems anyway!

I don't have it posted on this board but it it is a Seeburg SCH1 Consolette converted with a Raspberry Pi Zero to play MP3's

I can post all of the gory details here if there is interest

I recently posted this in projects:

GameBoss Fully Functional Gameboy Costume. This fully functioning wearable GameBoy costume is Pi 3b+ powered with a Picade X Hat to handle the inputs and audio output.

This is my pi build.  It started out with a full blown PC in it.  It is now running a pi4.  I may go back to a PC though as I am having trouble getting Aimtrak light guns and trackball working.

Clicking the pic will take you to the album that has some pics of the build process in it.

Some kind of metal case on that?

My first pi build. Build it together with my youngest son. Next pi build on the way building with my oldest son.

Any special features you particularly like?

For my other cabinet i used a pc and hyperspin. Looks great, plays almost all of my games without trouble. But you have to spend hours upon hours to set everything up and looking the way you want.
So to keep cost down i went with the pi. It is pretty easy to setup, but i would say if you want to change stuff, you need to know how linux works. Or look to a gazillion youtube movies to get things the way you want.
The only problem i have is that not every game runs because of the older emulators.

Here is a RPi jukebox Im working on. (Both hard and software).
It is currently a work in progress. I will post a pic here when it is finished.
Just thought you guys might be interested in following.
Build thread is posted in Project Announcements.

Use Raspberry Pi Pico 2 Make your Own Keyboard

Story
In our work hours, we always need to use shortcut keys. Almost all keyboards have less than 4 custom keys, so I have always wanted to make a keyboard with custom shortcut keys.
I recently received a new Raspberry Pi product. Right, it's a Raspberry Pi Pico 2, so I think it's time to make it. Let's do it now.
 
3D print
Case v3.stl
Lid.stl

Hardware
1 x Raspberry Pi Pico 2
12 x Cherry MX Style Keys
13 x Wire
1 x M3 Screws Kit

You'll find space for the Pico 2 and wiring below. The USB port on the Pico 2 will be accessible from the hole in the back of the enclosure, so you can connect it to your computer. You can insert the cover from the bottom of the keyboard and secure it with two screws later on. This way, you won't see the junction between the enclosure and the cover.



Electronics
Arduino Nano
First of all, I used Arduino Nano to make a keyboard, but that makes me sad. When I write code already, everything looks well.
But......
Unfortunately, the Arduino IDE can't use USB-HID.
The first version failed. You guys don't need to consider nano anymore.


And I received a Raspberry Pi Pico 2. That made me change my mind. This time I tested the simple code first.

It worked, that's very nice. Let's move on.
 
Raspberry Pi Pico 2

Install CircuitPython into Pico 2.
If you don't know how to install CircuitPython, look at this Article:
How to Use CircuitPython Works with Raspberry Pico 2https://openelab.io/blogs/learn/how-to-use-circuitpython-works-with-raspberry-pico-2
Then open Mu IDE, choose CircuitPython, connect Pico 2, and choose the right port.
 
Code

Code: [Select]

Make sure your pico 2 gpio connects the keys.
keys = [
    digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.GP0),
]
Define the right gpio in this part
keymap = [
    [Keycode.CONTROL, Keycode.C], # Ctrl+C
]
Define the keys setting you wanted, like'Keycode.CONTROL, Keycode.C' means 'Ctrl+C', it's a copy key set.
Summary
That's all the parts for this simple keyboard. If you have some good ideas, contact us please, like putting some LEDs in this keyboard.
Anyway, have fun with your project. Hope we can find more and more funny things.
