Version History - GrechTech/RetroRosetta GitHub Wiki

All newer cables are 100% backwards compatible with older units

Version 2

A simplified DIY orientated PCB and case combination that maintains the same connector and feature set, with 100% cable compatibility. In contrast to Version 1, this unit is designed for a single, simpler case design, with optional external antenna. It uses through hole components for DIY kits.
Changes to the design to improve ergonomics means that while there is 100% cable compatibility, cases for Version 1 are not interoperable with Version 2.

Version 2 cases have been available in Black, Purple, and Dark Blue colours.

EXT Variant

Models bundled with both an external antenna and the appropriate 32UE module to connect it are given the EXT (External) designation.

Version 1

Fully custom PCB designed around a Pi Zero form factor - Compatible with a wide variety of cases from both third parties and of our own designs. Various case options were given for customers with a cycling range of unique stylised cases:

Case 1P - Bare PCB

For users to use with third party cases designed for boards like the Pi Zero

Case 1Q - Quick Swap Cover

A simple two piece PCB cover that allowed direct access to GPIO pins

Case 1F - Frame Case

A simple two piece PCB case with a solid frame and built in strain relief that provided a low cost high strength solution

Case 1A - 2022 Stylised Case (ABS - Black)

Using the 1F Frame Case as a base, this provided an aesthetic cover with easy access button tabs, 3D printed with FDM in Black ABS

Case 1B - 2022 Stylised Case (SLS - Black)

Using the 1F Frame Case as a base, this provided an aesthetic cover with easy access button tabs, 3D printed with SLS in Black Nylon PA12
Identical to 1A besides a change in 3D printer and material

Case 1C - 2022 Stylised Case (SLS - Grey)

Using the 1F Frame Case as a base, this provided an aesthetic cover with easy access button tabs, 3D printed with SLS in Grey Nylon PA12
Identical to 1B besides a change in 3D printer and material

Case 1D - 2023 Stylised Case (ABS - Black)

Using the 1F Frame Case as a base, this provided an alternative stylised cover and optional front stock, with larger easy access button tabs, alternative integrated cable strain relief, and a reinforced construction
