PICO8 Real Console

A little computer with Raspberry Pi 3 and the amazing PICO8, a fantasy console. Now it's real in your hands.

I love the PICO8 concept and wished to make a little computer based in Raspberry PI 3 with this software installed. I met PICO8 some years ago and this project has been waiting since then. Finally here it is. In 2020 made other minicomputer but had some failures and finally stopped that project. Now I create this one from zero. I've been inspired by projects like YARH IO Micro 2 or Decktility but have some important differences inside.

1×Raspberry Pi 3

1×Li Ion battery 3300mAh

1×TP4056 (to charge battery with USB)

1×switch (to turn on the device)

1×MT3608 (dcdc step-up from 3.7 to 5V)

1×Display 3.5" (the same size as Raspi)

1×Bluetooth mini keyboard

2×Nuts and bolts (M3x25)

You need 4 stl files and electronics. I've printed stl files with PLA and 20% infi

Hold them with glue.

Connect to pins 5V and GND in GPIO). Hold the connections with some glue. Adjust the dcdc Vout to 5V BEFORE TO CONNECT THE RASPI.

First of all cut the wire of little keyboard battery (only 150mAh). Glue the pieces of the keyboard without its bottom. Solder to 3300mAh in the dcdc DCIN connectors.

(not glue to the Raspi).

 This adjust the level between Raspi and display. This piece is included in the stl bezel file.

 The screen must fit in the upper rectangle. After that, glue the bezel. Glue a little magnet in the top of the stick and test if holds correctly in the bezel.
