      @tomyboy96 - I have no idea why did I write micro HDMI (maybe I was playing with the micro SD adapter). But thanks for your remark! Adapter ordered (hope it will work). Next update in few days :)

            Hi,

            there is also another challenge:
            alt text
            I would liek to get rid of these metal body. The side you can see shoud me glued to the plastic.

            What can I put between the curcuit and the plastic? Some small plastik tubes? Wood? Rubber? Should I then glue the boards or better (for the future) screw it to to the “legs”?

            How about grounding it? Needed?

            Cheers
            Birdy

                        one question, which is bothering me: the controller plate has spot for grounding (the plate was connected with the metal body before via this “grounding spot”). Do I need to ground it e.g. with power supply or similar or I can leave the plate ungrounded?
