Circuit Documentation
Summary
This circuit integrates a Raspberry Pi Zero W with an LCD TFT screen (ILI9488 HD) and two instances of a PiGrrl Zero Custom Gamepad PCB. The Raspberry Pi Zero W serves as the central processing unit, managing the display output to the LCD screen and receiving input from the gamepad PCBs. The LCD screen is used for visual output, while the gamepad PCBs are used as input devices with multiple buttons.
