The MyPi was created to be a kit with comprehensive documentation. The style was inspired by Heathkits of years gone by and the documentation style of computers from the 1980's similar to the Timex Sinclair computer.
However, the MyPi was designed with large 5 inch screen to improve viewability and with stereo sound to enjoy the music of vintage games like Outrun without earphones.
The MyPi kit starts with a manual of over 50 pages that includes the PCBs needed for the build. Low battery voltage detection is a part of the MyPi as well as stereo audio; however, neither section is required for the MyPi to function. In other words, the kit can be built with only the features desired.
Parts can be added, such as stereo sound and low battery detection if desired. The MyPi kit starts with the manual and PCBs and additional features are added as desired: https://www.tindie.com/products/jesslgames/mypi-kit
