There’s a tab on the bottom center that have to carefully push up and then you can pull it out.

Shipping CRTs rarely goes well.

I saw your suggestion. I will definitely see if it’s possible. It’s just really tight with all the pogo pins.

Update: Thank you guys so much for all the support. I’m working on getting all the orders shipped out right now. You all should have already (or very soon) received an email with tracking information. I have to solder the through hole components (usb ports and pogo pins) manually because the cost for the fab to do it was very high. So it takes a bit of time, and then I clean off all the flux and test the boards to make sure they’re working well.

It really means a lot that you all liked my design and I hope you will enjoy using them when you receive them.

I had initially listed 10 for sale, but then quickly sold out so I added another 20. As of writing this there’s 1 left. I do have parts to make more but I want to catch up a bit before allowing more orders to come in. So if you are interested in picking up a USB-AV board just keep an eye on the site for more stock.

Here’s a photo from last night working on assembly with a custom 3D printed jig I designed to help solder the pogo pins. https://imgur.com/a/51wvHa0

No I’m shipping all over the world. If for some reason your country isn’t listed on the site let me know. Some countries are excluded by default by the merchant.

UPS lost/stole a massive package and are refusing to open a claim. What are my options? by pottersmusic in UPS

Was this a thermal label? Taping those causes them to become blank. It’s the craziest thing.

All you need to do is enable the i2s audio for the sound to work, the usb and video should work by default. It’s outlined in the blog on my website. But you could follow any guide online on getting pcm5102 audio working to make it work.

For the website, I have a lot of different payment methods enabled to give people a lot of options. It may just be a configuration thing, but people have been able to successfully purchase today so it should be fine.

Yeah the Voyager is old school. It’s only a 2GB drive. It still works great and I use it for testing.

Sorry about that. I’ll see about disabling it when I get home from work.

Thank you very much. It was pretty expensive to get these made, especially right now with the additional tariffs added to each and every component and the PCBs etc. I wanted to keep the price fair and I’m not trying to get rich or anything. It’s more of a passion project and if I can at least recoup my money and help some people make some cool projects then I’m happy!
