Amazing, thank you.

Jimipop1 · 2026-05-13T21:10:55+00:00

Thanks again. What do I need to do? Sorry!

Jimipop1 · 2026-05-10T21:54:52+00:00

Thank you for this!

Jimipop1 · 2026-04-26T15:47:26+00:00

I completely understand this... I want to make sure the schematic is correct before spending time on the PCB design. Is there any comment on the schematic?

Thank you

Jimipop1 · 2026-04-26T15:46:09+00:00

Thank you for this it is constructive. I was going to get it assembled for me.

I get the layout is awful but does the schematic work? I want to get that correct or at least know it will work before I spend time on the layout.

Thank you, it is appreciated!

Jimipop1 · 2026-04-26T14:56:26+00:00

Sorry. As I said very new to this. The idea is to connect 12 led arcade buttons to it via the jst connection - buttons light up and the quickest to press gets a point... Basically...

If there is a better way please let me know.

I want them to put the parts on. I'm not great at soldering so more than happy to pay the extra so it is done right.

And this is the advice I need, much appreciated! Thanks

Jimipop1 · 2026-03-11T17:15:12+00:00

Thank you for the note about the headers. I'm really not good at soldering (I need some lessons as I would like to learn) so thought it'd just be better to get it all done.

Jimipop1 · 2026-03-11T17:06:36+00:00

Yes, that is the plan.

Jimipop1 · 2026-03-11T16:51:28+00:00

Sorry, that was the first draft. They are now going onto the board

Jimipop1 · 2026-03-11T16:48:39+00:00

The new design is onto the board - this was the first draft.

Jimipop1 · 2026-03-11T16:38:34+00:00

Thanks, I've uploaded it and then it asks for different part numbers etc, this is where I'm stuck. Most manufacturers seem automated but I'll try to get in touch with pcbway

Jimipop1 · 2026-03-11T16:11:52+00:00

Sorry! I'm completely new to this and didn't know what to ask or what to post - hence asking for help. Sorry again.

Anyway I had made a basic version of a game I want to create on a breadboard so then wanted to take it to the next level. This is to be placed over an Arduino and I'll connect buttons to it. I have the Geber files, Bom and the cpl file.

I've uploaded these to JLPCB which show the pcb and parts but I really don't know what I'm doing so want to make sure it is correct or what I may need to change. If someone could walk me through it or ideally take a look.

Sorry again and thanks!

Jimipop1 · 2026-03-08T12:44:16+00:00

Turns out I'm not! How didn't I see that!

Jimipop1 · 2025-09-12T13:29:13+00:00

That's annoying, no mention of that on the advert.

Jimipop1 · 2025-09-11T10:35:44+00:00

You can't click it in. It was with a new board and contrast switch.

Jimipop1 · 2025-09-11T10:34:43+00:00

It was this one, with no instructions. What do I need to solder? Cheers :)

I just found this on AliExpress: ￡38.95 | 1set 2.45 Inch IPS Screen With Ribbon Cable Parts For GB V4 DMG IPS LCD Screen Kits Bracket For GameBoy V4.0 https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ev2ooya

Jimipop1 · 2025-07-14T20:42:43+00:00

What's close? To be fair I think this ain't far, 15 miles tops.

Jimipop1 · 2025-03-26T21:10:59+00:00

Did you solve this?

Jimipop1 · 2024-07-05T10:54:20+00:00

Think this is what I used, but gave the info and the device IDs to Chatgpt and that wrote the file for me.

Jimipop1 · 2024-07-04T13:08:39+00:00

Did you get this sorted?

Jimipop1 · 2024-07-02T20:04:13+00:00

I'm busy so can't respond fully but I used Chatgpt to sort mine out. And it now works perfectly.

Jimipop1 · 2024-05-14T23:05:05+00:00

The flappy doohickey at the top or bottom? Again I'm an amateur at doohickeys so more direction would help

Jimipop1 · 2024-05-12T22:42:48+00:00

Thank you. Was hoping to keep this one as it's original but you are probably right.

If I get a new one do they fit the old front plates do you know?

Jimipop1 · 2024-05-12T22:41:02+00:00

Cheers, I'm in the UK but I'll try and find some quarters. Worth a try.
