Everything is hidden behind the screen

I wanted to make it small !
I removed the board and glued all the parts, it looks very compact but it works well. Everything is fine.
My next challenge was the control buttons, I decided to put the buttons in a different place. My Arduboy is a bit weird, I like it :slight_smile:

I attached the flash memory to the Arduino Pro Micro and did the wiring using old headphone wires.
It is not difficult but requires more precision for soldering
At first I wanted to connect only the reset button to the display , I found that if I use small buttons, I can have enough space for A and B, Then I got the idea to attach four direction buttons like A and B to the display.
Up and down direction is confusing in some games :slight_smile: .But it is good to have small buttons on the top of the screen ,Having A and B buttons on the top of the game console looks interesting, but it is a bit annoying for some games, for this problem we can put the buttons in the normal place and add two small buttons to the top!

Interesting design choice. All the buttons as shoulder buttons. What does the bottom side look like?

I apologize, I did not understand.
Explain a little more :slight_smile:

The oled module you have used seems to have been damaged and sustained a patina that could only be acquired through difficult and potentially traumatizing events.

Yes, I have been using OLED for a long time.
He has suffered a lot.
There is nail polish on it.
I need to order a new OLED :grinning:

Thanks for sharing those pictures. I didn’t realize it was a 1.5" display until I saw the display connector. You’ve also replaced the inductor to reduce the display brightness I see :+1:

Yes, the screen light is very good with USB voltage, but with a 3.7 V battery, the screen light decreases. Replacing the inductor was a good idea.

I used to use lithium charger modules to charge the battery.


Now I want to use the small power bank module.
This module has an output of 5 volts. 4 LEDs to show the remaining charge in the battery and a start button. I think this is good
