I present to you a full video on how to build a DIY handheld gaming console. This first part will show you how to build the game handheld (hardware). The next part (software) will release on next week, I hope 😉. I call it version 2 because it's improve: main board, faster boot, more battery and fixed a few issues compare to the first version (short video).
The part 2 is ready. Please see this link:    • [Fun & Share] DIY Handheld Gaming Con...  

Details:
- Main board: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 w.
- Screen: 3.5 inch 640x480 (I used the old screen from last build. It's because the new screen is bad quality😅).
- Charger board: support USB type C (input) and show the battery status with 4 leds.
- The new case support custom battery.
- Battery: 4000 mah.

(*) mean "Not sure about the quality, I bought from a different market"

Notice:
- You should buy a see through case. It's because you can see the battery status on top.
- The screen border should be 2mm If you want to use a glass protector.
- I don't know which market place is good for you to buy the parts. So I used the link from Aliexpress.
- Oops, I forgot to include the soldering mapping (GPIO) in the video 😅. You can find it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/100bR...
- Don't screw the screws too tight on the control board (I only use 2 screws on top) and battery place. It will make the buttons a bit difficult to press.

Hope you guys like this video.
