Ok so I figured it out
I was curious where the short could have possibly been, so I cut the trace leading from the barrel jack to the step down converter. Upon probing I learned that it was on the side of the step down converter. Along that trace was a resistor, circled here in purple:
I...
I just got the recommended 480p screen in today and when I went to put it into my portable I determined that the pin circled in red should be connected to 5v and the one in yellow should be connected to ground:
Wired it up and nothing! I checked and it seems that all three of the pins are...
As an avid follower of the original post of this project, I am so jazzed about this and can't wait to see it finally functioning - you'll have to bring it to MGC this year
@DeathGamer21 I'm not sure where you're having the trouble so I'll break this down very simple for you,
You'll probably want a computer, as it typically is easier to navigate files on a computer rather than a tablet. Also some computers do not recognize the portable as a usb device. I can...
It is very very unlikely that the Ashida will be sold as a kit - however, Wesk has made it very simple to make. He has provided all of the 3D files that can be printed online with websites like PCBWay, and a full updated BOM with links to every product. It is as close to being a kit as it can...
I believe this picture is originally from Gman, but then Wesk posted it in another thread. It looks like you are using this driver board. The one pictured is really torn apart and I don't think you need to go this crazy as long as you are using this same board you should only need 3v3 in this...
The Cookies and Criim
Starting out, I want to give a shoutout to @Wesk seeing as he designed the project. Great job my dude and thanks for all the pointers and help for the entirety of this journey.
Wesk's Ashida thread can be found here...
I was so excited when I first saw you working on this great job Caleb you really nailed it the artwork on the back is so clean and fresh no wonder Nintendo copied your design *wink*
Lol I had the same reaction over the Cookies and Criim Ashida - several people asking how to make one and I was like you have no idea the rabbit hole you're trying to enter right now
Great work my guy!
Thanks @CalebPikmin! I might have a picture of the internals somewhere from a while ago but not anything recent but no I don't think I ever twisted them together because I only have one color of magnet wire I just ran them all close together. I'm not sure if that is supposed to help picture...
