    Got my switch joystick working properly. Modified the code a bit to include a deadzone and the range on it seems decent. It's not as great as the OG control stick in the diagonals, but messing around in SM64, its playable and pretty good for what it is! One of my trimmed boards has decided to...

    Been a while since I've updated. Audio amp, USBC charging and PD are working perfectly. Controller board works like a charm as well. Unfortunately I'm having more N64 board issues. I performed the board bend and it seemed to be working okay, but a few traces weren't connecting anymore and...

    So not much has been happening as late besides case work. I initially wanted to just wet sand my case, but in the end the seams between glues pieces turned out kind of ugly. In addition to the colour of the PLA I got not being exactly what I wanted (I wanted something like the OG N64 controller...

    Looks really nice! Assuming you wet sanded the case? It looks nice and smooth. And it's even overheating with the fan?!

    that trigger design is awesome. Great use of a 3d printed spring mechanism, you're making me rethink my whole trigger design :rothink:

    Designed them myself and ordered them. I drew tons of inspiration and knowledge from others on these forums. This is my first foray into PCB making and so far it's been really fun. Ordered them on oshpark because it ends up being cheaper to send to Canada. Most ppl get from jlcpcb, there's other...

    Thanks, I'm really hoping the wet sanding will give the case a nice texture, the colour filament I found is really close to the OG grey controller coller, would be awesome to see it looking kinda OEM

    In the past month or so I've been printing lots of parts to test fit for my PCBs and buttons, I even printed out a full case prototype which allowed me to pinpoint a few issues that needed correcting. For the past few years I've been using heat set threaded inserts instead of captive nuts or...

    Just realized I haven't added any ventilation in the case yet. I think I have room for a fan, but I really want it to be silent as possible and I know the n64 can be passively cooled. I'll be putting on copper heatsinks to every chip and ram. Maybe I'll poke around for a decent small blower fan...

    Thanks, I'm gonna try and post a video of the button mechanisms at some point! Now comes the hard part, getting all the electronics to play nice together....

    Been a hot minute since I've updated my worklog. Been waiting on some parts to arrive, most notably my LCD screen which is definitely stuck somewhere in China, so I found a seller on Ebay that shipped from the states, should get here sometime next week so I can finally plug it in. I'm also...

    Looking for 5" 640x480 display

    So my I think I'm screwed and won't get my LCD screen I ordered back in February from Aliexpress. It's been stagnant since then, I doubt it's left China. Looking for a screen much like the one in the Bitbuilt store: ZJ050NA-08C. The store is currently out of them, but even at that since I'm in...
