Read all the work logs. A lot of great information and answers there.
The ps2 standard trim is able to run off a 2s battery setup, meaning you do not need custom regulators. Making it easier for beginners.
It ha been a while since the last update. I have been busy moving but I managed to make some solid progress. I could not get the mango router working with the capacitive coupling, it would only list the games and not load them. I hacked up the Ethernet transformers and managed to get it...
I have been developing a board with TI regulators. I currently have it working, I'm just waiting on a replacement inductors. I just need to figure out a solution to turn it on and off but I think I have that figured out. I'm going to need to do another revision to the board and a lot more...
Yea I know about the exposed wire. Nothing is shorting I have checked for shorts. The thicker wire is just for testing to color code the different voltages. I have thiner wire for the final build. I'm going to rewire it and check for shorts again later.
So I trimmed the new ps2 and can not get it to boot. The case said it's a 79001 but it resembles the 79003 pictured in the trim guide but it has a few differences. Does anyone see if I am missing a voltage relocation?
5v- white
3.5v- green
2.5v- yellow
1.8v- red
1.25v- blue
UPDATE TIME!
I received the boards in the mail and have assembled the PMS and USB board. The PMS is working but has a few issues. The inductor I chose for the 3.3v line was not up for the task, I ended up using the inductor I removed from the LCD driver board and that seems to be working but...
Yes I fixed that after I made this post. Thank you! I am following your project as well! I am planning on running it on 1.8v.
Update!
The boards came in and i found 2 major issues. First on the pms there is a direct short between vin and ground. I somehow ordered a previous version of the...
