Small yet important update: The PCB's arrived, I noticed they are different from the one @GingerOfOz used, there is no L LT pad, also I wanted to use the Joystick button, one PCB has the pad but the other one doesn't. Also I ordered the wrong connectors, this need to be top contact. I wired...

I recommend the ashida for first build. And you cant build a portable with a 6 layer wii, maybe a noldendo?

Aaaaand the project revived. It's been a long time, and I've been doing so much. TLDR; I got a new PMS-Lite and some chips to bring back the fried one Yaaaaaaaaaaay @GingerOfOz released the new files for the Louii. I got new batteries, soldering station and flux. I killed 2 Wii's by following...

This is how close you have to trim at minimum I can confirm the old mounts for buttons will work.

(R)evolution of portables

Thanks! Is the D-pad still a 3rd party one?

As someone who tried to find a solution with a Teensy LC. I couldn't find an easier nor cheaper solution than getting a GC+. Plus the RV integration, there has been some ideas about using another thing like i2c but it's like reinventing the wheel, I think that's the only component that's open...

If you removed the LDO, make sure you are using the pms-2 which is out of stock and not the pms-lite. The diagram looks good. 1. No, the NTC is just for temps in HUD. 2. It can boot but it's not supposed to work without one, so don't 3. Nope 4. If using u10 from the pms then no 5. Yup, it's...

So the project died because of a fried pms F

I love shipping rates outside the us. Unfortunately I think I won't be able to finish the project :'(

So now what are my options?

I can see that, but I think I have revealed a worst problem, continuity between pwr and ground. Is that the cause my cells are not charging?

All cables removed 685 - ground to 3.3V continuity between pwr and ground

No I have cables connected Cables connected: To PD: btn. up. pwr charge. ground To batteries: b+ b- Do you want me to disconect everything? Not that I can remember

Com on ground. 398 on B+ 13 on pw. (If continuity it beeps)

Yeah something is not right. the moment I plug the battery the cable gets hot. and the pms start getting warmer unitl I can no longer touch the bottom part near the SH61SA adn BQ chip

Now I proceed to connect the PD charger Oh sorry. Oh it's definitely the chip next to the battery wire(or that area). SH61SA AE. It gets really hot, can't touch it more than 2 seconds. I might try to take a thermo photo

2R2 it feels. I'll disconect everything except the batery and PMS-PD. I changed the batteries for 3.59V. As you can see only the rvl and pms are connected. The pms is cold So first I'll just connect the batteries, without charging. Update 2R2 feels a lil hot and the batteries are discharging.

Oh don't worry I used to work in tech support and we had to ask questions like that all the time I know they are not charging because I left them charging during the night at 3.6V and now they are 3.41V. The voltage between pw and ground is 3.40V. I have a couple samsung cells. Could try those...

Ok let's unplug the battery. And what should I be looking for, if the pms is not charging the cells? If connected Charge and ground show 15V. So it is getting current. Also if I connect the battery the pms get a lil hot, so the cells keep discharging even when the system is turned off
