Hey guys, so I’ve made an entire plan on how I'm going to build my first portable and I want as much criticism as possible! Check it out:
Build the Case
Prepare all of the boards
Place components into the case and wire them
Build the Case
- Plan out where each component will go
- Wii MB
- Gman’s PMS and PD charger
- Screen
- Amp and speakers
- Batteries
- GC+ and Controls (buttons, 3DS circle pads, d-pad, triggers)
- Heatsink and fan
Prepare all of the boards
- Prepare the Wii MB
- Relocate the U10, MX Chip, and bluetooth module
- Trim the Wii to OMGWTF
- Wire GMan’s PMS
- Connect to GMan’s USB C PD charger
- Connect power button, LED, Thermo sensor
- Connect PMS to batteries (using small plugs I can unplug and replug)
- Wire Pms to the Wii MB
- Connect the 3 power cables to the correct points to give the wii power
Place components into the case and wire them
- Power the GC+ using the 3.3v from the PMS and connect to the p1 data cable on the wii
- Power the amp and speakers using the 5v from the PMS and connect the speakers to the audio out of the Wii
- Connect the screen to a 12v source and connect to the video out of the Wii
- Connect the cooling fan to 5v source and heatsink
- How can I power my 12v screen? (It is called a BW 3.5 inch TFT LCD monitor on amazon) I’ve read a review that someone modified it to run off 5v but didn't say how
- Can i power multiple things off of one source? (Amp, Fan, Speakers all from the 5v output on the PMS?)
- Am I missing anything crucial?
