Below is the start to my arduino nano based power circuit for Famicom based retro pie build. The goal of this Arduino sketch is to detect when the Super Famicom power switch state has changed and either power on the Rpi3 or tell the Rpi3 to shutdown and then remove power from the Rpi3 circuit….

In this part of the build I will be connecting the Super Famicom controllers directly Rpi3s GPIO Headers. There are a few risks associated with using a direct connection.

After the release of the Nintendo Classic Mini I thought it would be fun to build a Rpi3 based RetroPie. For this build I will be using a Super Famicom as the case. Side note: Why is the SNES so ugly in comparison to the Super Famicom? I want to accomplish the following goals on…

The following is the first build of my stir plate. In this build I used a 25 ohm potentiometer as the calculated 84 ohm (100 ohm) was not available locally. Although the build was completed with this component, it will be replaced to allow the speed to reduced to zero rpm. As it exists now, rpms…
