Ah, amazing how it all came together and fits so well. Can't wait to get mine. I've been messing around with my own little RPi prototype with a custom 3D printed shell for the past few years, but your design is so much more elegant. I love it :)
Yeah I’m working on a couple of similar ideas. I sort of got stuck at trying to make good buttons, but I found you can get a set of buttons for the DSLite on AliExpress for a couple of quid. So I’m designing around those. Never stop tinkering!
A superb effort! I backed outside of Kickstarter and I’m so happy to see how this has evolved over such a short space of time since doing so, into what will be a cracking kit to have in my hands next year 👍
if the rpi pico controller is using the same processor then it should be able to have a shitload of GPIO, I have things I would like to do with this if I buy one and just having the GPIO exposed would make this 10/10 the best thing I would possibly want please I don't need them to be some extra connection just literally have traces lead to some kind of exposed pad and that would be enough for me
Hey Man! That's the plan! the ReBoi uses a bunch of the GPIO for the buttons and the LED, at the moment I'm using three of the ADCs for battery charging and monitoring, but the plan is to have at least 5 GPIOs and the remaining ADC broken out to pads around the PCB, with power and ground pads for hacking and adding new features. It's designed to be assembled without a soldering iron, but I don't want to go ss far as to prevent people from hacking it if they have the tools :)
Awesome project, I'd like to see access to the micro SD card in the pi and the HDMI and USB ports without having to open the case. Is using the pi zero 2w with it's wifi and Bluetooth enabled supported?
you could pipe the SD card and HDMI port out with a flexible PCB, might be something ill work on down the line. You have access to the Pis USB port though the USBC port. Yep most of the configuration is done over WiFi / ssh
can be any colour you want :p ill make the 3D files available so hopefully there will be a thriving little market of people making weird and wacky Pi housing cartridges.
This is amazing, love the reboy project!
Great kit i cant wait to get my hands on one just think of the possibilitys!!! A pi2 w in a pocket handheld not just that a classic handheld!!
I’m so happy this is great!!

Looks great, just ordered the two extra parts the pi and case. Thanks for the update to the project and your dedication to it!

So awesome. I missed the kickstarter but just put my order in! Thanks for making this.
Love the design!
I'm so impressed. It's perfect!
This is so cool 👍

Is the cartridge going to be trasparent?

@@james-sargent Awesome!! Thanks a lot!
I don't suppose you have a Fisher Price "game boy" to see if this would fit inside? Looks great though, can't wait to get my hands on it.
Is this compatible with the boxy pixel shell?
FINGERPRINTS ON SCREEEEEEEEEEN! Otherwise, fantastic project 😉
