Hi, this is just another DIY project with Raspberry Pi 3. I took the free design from instructable.com and modified the design to fit my needs with this project.

And for the power, I used a 5v battery to power up the Pi. The reason to use a battery is to make this cabinet portable, and can be brought everywhere.

And also the screen from Aliexpress is powered by USB which is 5v. So it's a plug & play :)

Anyway, I bought all the components from Aliexpress. Here is the list of the links
