I believe this video is very helpful for the Pwnagotchi build project and also beneficial for Waveshare users. It's impressive to see a creator like you put so much effort into making this video. Waveshare would be delighted to sponsor you with free products. If you have any ideas about incorporating other new Waveshare products in your future videos, I will definitely find ways to support you!
I don’t understand why it’s so hard to find one good solder job on rpi TH-cam videos these days haha. And it’s crazy to think some of these people go through a bunch of them (and you are not surprised as to why consider how many burns/shorts you can see on their boards, this guy isn’t nearly as egregious as most haha)
great solder on the pins, are you planning to post or release the case 3d print files ? i just did a similar build and would to test it with your case.
Thank you so much for this guide, really easy to follow! I have the exact same hardware, do you happen to have made the STL file for the base available online?
@PigeonPrint I have not made it available as it is a very tight fit design, and I needed to trim the ribbon cable a bit for clearance. So there is a risk people would damage their displays.
I was gonna say, any updates on how this is working out? The first thing that worried me about it is how little space there is between the screen and the zero, I would still at least want another millimeter, but even more, considering that battery is in the same tiny enclosure, as well. I use this screen with the pre soldered headers they provide which have 7mm of spacing and it works out perfect imo and it’s not like riiiiight against it like that. I’ve also commonly seen it this way, without a case, and that feels safer for me, for airflow. Also, the way you have it seems like the pogo pins are only superficially pushing against the bottom of header holes that are full of solder but even clipped so they are like flush, unless the one you did for demonstration was just a real quick and dirty ones? How does that work out? Seems super precarious.
@@rayj1988 That kinda set up on a power supply would definitely irk me haha. Really those kind of pogo pins are just for testing, I would never use them in an even very temporary setup. They are generally used for testing when there is no solder at all on a through hole yet. I would definitely prefer soldering that connection, especially if you are sticking them in tiny cases.

Thankyou! please let me know how to get in touch with you 😊
I would like to see this happen. I've been looking at waveshare products. Let's make this happen!
The solder really should be flowing the whole way through the holes for the best contact. Love the video!

Where can I find the 3D STL file for a case that fits this setup? :)
Awesome! I am going to buy the HAT + and UPS looks like the perfect setup.
Awesome builds bro, subbed 👍. Would love to see a full build guild/tutorial video.

@@rayj1988 Totally understand, thous fpc cable just need to be looked at the wrong way to ruin the screen!

@KhangNguyen-el6uy I have 2 setup as per ths video, and both are running fine with no issues. Pogo pins are in full contact with soldered pins.

do you have a link for the 3d print files?
Soooo coool
Hey mate, I want to get some standoffs...are the mounts on the display M2?
Thanks in advance.
I think they are M2.5
Could you tell me which IC is at the bottom of the UPS?
What is the display name for the config.toml file?
waveshare_4
So, with the v4 screen, we do not need to add an external rtc battery ?
@wazabiqc That is correct they have been working great and keeping the correct date and time when I have had them off for a long time.
@@rayj1988 Good to know !
Is it possible to run Android Auto on this setup?
no
