i've been interested in getting pi while, , decided it's time order pi zero.
here's ordered: still haven't recieved yet, want turn old gameboy pocket emulator, i'm going want connect lcd, small mono speaker (with ability connect stereo headphones, if possible), , connect original buttons pi (with analog volume control if possible).
problem have no hardware knowledge whatsoever (i'm more of software/programming guy), , don't want end ruining pi. have searched around basic tutorial complete noobs (not related creating handheld emulator), seem find tutorials , projects assume have basic understanding of how things, don't.

i'm wondering can read basics? instead of tutorial tells me follow blindly without idiot-friendly explanation.

thing i'm wondering more hardware parts might need? wires, , things that? basic things should have @ home when doing project this

thank in advance

it's ambitious first project, luck , we'll as can.


need soldering iron (and practice first?)

recommend temperature controlled soldering station rather iron permanently connected mains plug. it's easier nice solder joint temperature controlled soldering station.

practice cheap strip board , practice soldering wires it.


connecting buttons pi:
suggest start solderless breadboard , follow "connect button gpio" tutorials pi 0 doesn't have headers soldered on need hold wires in place on pizero blutack (or invest in b+ testing purposes).
wires used solderless breadboard known "dupont wires", need male male having male female , female female can useful.


audio output of pi isn't amplified, need small mono amplifier circuit have volume control need able adjust variable resistor (or desolder , add external variable resistor of same value).

hello, first post asking in forum patient if dont correctly   well, im trying make robot evades obstacles , uses interrupts in order distances. ive used flexitimer2 run void function each 5ms, problem whe try verify program says me there error in use of flexitimer.    code: [select] flexitimer2::set(1, 1.0/1000, rastreodistanciamin()); i copy code below, please can tell error , how solve it, ive been loking dont know do. thank you code: [select] #include <flexitimer2.h> #include <servo.h> //motor a int ena = 7; int in1=6; int in2 = 5; //motor b int in3=11; int in4=10; int enb=9; servo cabeza; //hc-sr04 device int echo = 13; int triger = 12; //it use hc-sr04 determine , return distance in front of him int calculodistancia(){   volatile int tiempo;   volatile int distancia;   digitalwrite(triger,low); /* por cuestión de estabilización del sensor*/   delaymicroseconds(5);   digitalwrite(triger, high); /* envío del pulso ultrasónico*/   delaymicroseconds(10);   tiem

LED Strip Code

i downloaded code. here have several single leds flashing music microphone. in project, instead of single rgb leds, have 5 rgb led strips. need change in code? led strip 10m supernight rgb strip cut 5 equal strips. // arduino pin numbers const int do_pin = 2; const int ao_pin = 0; int sound; int led1 = 8; int led2 = 9; int led3 = 10; int led4 = 11; int led5 = 12;   void setup() {   pinmode(do_pin, input);   pinmode(led1, output);   pinmode(led2, output);   pinmode(led3, output);   pinmode(led4, output);   pinmode(led5, output);   serial.begin(9600); }   void loop() {     if (sound > 31) {     digitalwrite(led1, high);   }     if (sound < 31) {     digitalwrite(led1, low);   }     if (sound > 35) {     digitalwrite(led2, high);   }     if (sound < 35) {     digitalwrite(led2, low);   }     if (sound > 40) {     digitalwrite(led3, high);   }     if (sound < 40) {     digitalwrite(led3, low);   }     if (sound > 45) {     digitalwrite(led4, high);   }     if
