DMG-01 case with a Raspberry PI inside.

## Parts list
- 3.5 Inch backup monitor
- TP4056 li-ion charge module with protection circuit
- Raspberry PI Zero W v1

## Problems, to address in a possible v2
- Get's very hot on the screen, might be the power circuits behind it.
- Powers off abruptly after a while, low battery charge?
- No battery charge indication.
- Kinda jank placement of components. Glued not screwed, not as replacable.
- D-pad can register a different direction then the one pressed.
- Audio circuit can be turned up so high it abruptly shuts down the device (over current protection?).
- Audio circuit has no curcuits, just directly connected to GPIO.
- No brightness controls.
- Analogue, not digital display.
