PiGRRL Zero

You've seen PiGRRL, Super Game Pi, PiGRRL Pocket, PiGRRL 2 and now... it's time for PiGRRL Zero!

In this tutorial we'll turn the elusive $5 Raspberry Pi Zero into portable game console!

Features

Retropie Emulation Station: SNES, NES, SEGA, N64, and many many more!
14 Buttons, including D-Pad, L & R shoulder, Start/Select, A, B, X, Y and two extras.
2.2" Adafruit PiTFT 320x240 Color Display
Landscape portable console format

The USB-A port allows you to add any peripherals to the Raspberry Pi Zero, such as a WiFi or Bluetooth adapter, USB keyboard or mouse, USB Audio Adapter or USB Hub.

PLEASE BE AWARE - THIS IS NOT AN EASY/BEGINNER PROJECT! This project is for experienced makers, with successful soldering and Raspberry Pi projects. We DO NOT guarantee you will be able to build this project sucessfully!

Project Expectations

The difficulty of this project is intermediate. There is wiring and soldering involved, but no PCB hacking or sawing like our previous builds. We think this is a great project for makers who have a little bit of Pi and 3D printing experience, or are first time makers with a lot of energy and willingness to learn! This tutorial will walk you through all the steps of the assembly and takes about weekend to accomplish.

3D Printed Parts

You'll need to 3D print the enclosure and buttons for this project. If you don't have access to one, 3DHubs.com is a great option - simply download the STL files, upload them and choose a local hub to print and ship them to you!
