Worklog MX Relocation Custom PCB

[MJMT]

Going to test this guy soon. I saw someone asking about custom MX PCBs a while back. Removed from a board and hand soldered it.

Does this board support a CMOS battery for proper RTC?

Nvm I just zoomed to read the silk and I see the battery terminal labelled

I want to make 1 with a battery holder but most of the ones I want are out of stock. I stole 1 from a laptop that I can put on 1. I was wondering if it would be okay to mount that on the underside.

Edit: This is the biggest it can be. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mpd-memory-protection-devices/LP2032SM-JJ-GTR/4246308

Pretty nice if it is smaller than original, and it is also a lot more clean !
With the battery on the back, it can simplify a lot the connection process

I'll work on mounting and testing it soon. I'm on call so things are crazy till after work on Friday

Edit: I'm also just starting to work on the possibility of 3D printing a mini gamecube with all custom PCBs(aside form the usual Wii trim). I would want to do all board to board mounts to make it really clean but we'll see if it's just a pipe dream. I have my controller port holder being printed right now and I have 4 ports on order from Ebay to mount on a custom PCB I have yet to design. I'd think the timeline would be like 3 months or so for that sort of thing.

Great work

This is awesome! I just ordered a PCB to do this myself.

One question I have is how far apart are the battery terminals on the back? So I can find a battery holder that works

like 23.3mm center to center. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mpd-memory-protection-devices/LP2032SM-JJ-GTR/4246308 should barely make it.
