This Christmas I gave myself a 3D resin printer, airbrush and painting material. I'm also studying a some 3D modeling. The rest of the necessary hardware should arrive in the next few weeks, such as screen, Arduino and stuff. With all of this, I intend to greatly improve this project and have...

I plan to finish it next week during my vacation. At the moment I'm busy with my new resin printer and learning 3d modeling. See you then and thanks for following along :)

Today while I was doing groceries I came across this delicious shell for my next handheld, of course, I intend to do the necessary adjustments and reinforcement to support the hardware. I am currently finishing my tests using batocera linux on this hardware.;) CPU: Intel Atom x5-Z8350 @...

Thank you Claudio! I'll check this out.

So far the most interesting option I found was this one on Aliexpress. I will continue doing my research.

I'm planning to make a handheld based on this board, an Atom x5-Z8350 It has an HDMI port and a 30pin LCD connector. Any recommendations for a screen to use here?

Here are some more detailed photos of this rat's nest! This board does not have battery management so I am waiting for a tp4056 module to arrive which I will use here. I intend to replace some cables there with thinner cables to save space, and then place a connector for headphones and a...

If you have a "dremel", use a metal cutting disc and make a slot in that screw, then use a screwdriver to remove it. It's worth remembering that metal dust can be harmful to electronics, so try to protect these parts from this dust.

It looks like you can connect the joy con via bluetooth. Remove the Joy-Cons from your Nintendo Switch. On the inside of each Joy-Con, press the small pairing button until the light continuously flashes. Open the System Settings app on your Mac. Navigate to the Bluetooth section. Scroll to the...

Here is the result after a lot of sanding and filling to smooth the surface. I used a base coat of general purpose spray primer, the second coat was black acrylic paint and then 3 coats of metallic purple acrylic paint. To finish, I used 3 coats of spray varnish. At these points marked in...

You can follow the topic, I'll explain what I did.

The next step was to make the boards for connecting the joystick and buttons. To lower the cost of the project I decided to use scraps and home-made stuff with materials I already have. I made this joystick breakout board with a prototype board and a connector taken from a notebook board...

With the measurements of the board and case, I decided to just cut the board in half and fold it like a sandwich. After cutting, I spent many hours welding and measuring the continuity of the lines. For the analogue I used a connector taken from a notebook board, it's not the same size, but it...
