In Part 1 we created the Arduino sketch and Python script to handle shutting down the Rpi gracefully. In Part 2 we will be prototyping the the circuits to make sure they work as expected.

FamiPi Power Switch and shutdown handling: Part 1
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….

Super Famicom Controller Rpi Interface
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.

Super FamiPi Project Overview
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…
