PICO8 Real Console

Description

I love the PICO8 concept and wish to make a little computer based in Raspberry PI 3 with this software installed. I met PICO8 some years ago and this project has been waiting since then. Finally here it is. In 2020 made other minicomputer but had some failures and finally stopped that project. Now I create this one from zero. I've been inspired by projects like YARH.IO Micro 2 or Decktility but have some important differences inside.

Bisel pantalla.stl

Bezel to cover the border of the screen. Also has a point to hold the stick (the screen is resistive and needs a stick to operate).

1

All the pieces are ready ?
2

Solder battery, TP4056 and switch.

Hold them with glue.
