After enjoying my newly made portable I have decided that I cannot be satisfied and must aquire perfection!
I have several things i want to change, here is a list of the goals for this revision.
Here is the current look compared to the rev 1.
Rev 1 (Yeah i deliberately made it uglier in software)
Rev 2
Should be a quicker project as I will be recycling the internals from the rev 1 to save money and time.
Stay tuned!
I have several things i want to change, here is a list of the goals for this revision.
- Completely redesigned from scratch but remaining faithful to it's blockiness.
Larger 4.3" screenI can fit a 5" screen so decided to upgrade to this, VGA or composite.- Reduce thickness to below 30mm, excluding battery grips.
- Recess 18650 batteries to used as grips and to be easily hotswappable, making up for battery life.
- Vita buttons with thin tact breakout board pcbs.
- Possibly rear mounted trigger buttons located above the grips or still on the side but recessed to avoid claw-hand.
- Switch joysticks to free up room.
- Simple breakout boards for less bulk and a neater, servicable assembly.
- If i can figure out pcb design better, a audio amp with headphone switching (previous revision lacking this feature).
- Taking inspiration from the original GS2, I will print this in layers to allow for easier printing and also a more organic look.
- Small, lightweight rumble motors. Likely salvaged from a phone or wii mote.
- Low battery indicator, enough of these guessing games!
- Smaller laptop speakers.
