My DIY gamebuino clone

Pretty late came to me information about this amazing little handheld.

It is not easy to find information about Gamebuino/Makerbuino in Poland. A month ago I learned about this project and immediately wanted to have my own Gamebuino.

Since the campaign has long been over and buy the original is temporarily impossible for me, I decided to build my own clone from what I had.

Here is the final result

Based on Gamebuino schematic from main site. Build with few mods ( charger, battery, hardware backlight switch ).

I used Arduino nano clone for it that allow me to implement ambient light and battery monitor.

That's looking pretty sweet!

Where did you hide the c button?

I was wondering by the 3d that handling it, would be a bit tough, but by the picture, it seems comfortable.
Well done! :)

Key "C" is on the upper left side of the lcd screen as in original Gamebuino ;)
