• Controller has arrived!

    The usb controller I'll be using as a base has finally arrived from china.

    And I got usb audio to work, so that's good!

    Here's all the gang together in a cardboard box for a quick test. I think I'll need a few more USB ports, but this is fine for now. I can probably drop ethernet as we have wifi, but with one for the controller, one for wifi, and one for audio, I'm left with just a single port. I'll probably try and pick up a 7 port hub... though I think they're just two four port hubs so I might stick with those.

    If anyone has done anything with speakers and a headphone port that can also be used, please point me to it, as this is something I'd like to include in the design!

    Just an initial log to go with the start of the project, it's late and I can't think to write much!

    Parts so far are a Pi zero and a 5 inch touch screen. Controller is on the way, along with some other parts. Case will hopefully be 3D printed... when I get a 3D printer!
