Testing
Ribbon Cables
Assemble the two DIY cables that will be used to connect the monitor to data and power.
For the USB cable, connect a straight USB C plug to each end.
For the HDMI cable, connect the angled micro HDMI plug on one end and the mini HDMI plug on the other.
Testing
Before assembling everyting into the case, it's a good idea to test the setup. Plug your monitor into USB power. Connect the Raspberry Pi HDMI out to the monitor with your micro HDMI to mini HDMI cable.
Power up the Raspberry Pi with a good USB C power supply (5.1V 3A at a minimum).
If everything is wired up properly, you should see the Batocera boot screen. Test out the buttons and joystick as well before moving on.
