Hey folks, I modeled the common AliExpress aftermarket N64 and GameCube female connectors, and created a KiCad footprints for both. You can find them here: https://github.com/loopj/n64-controller-port https://github.com/loopj/gcn-controller-port Hope this is helpful!

At the time it was much easier and cheaper to source GL835s and they have the advantage of not needing 5v as legend says as well as being much smaller. Unless hand soldering is a top priority I would always use a GL835 these days.

Finally finished up my Kawaii build! I decided to hand assemble the boards without a stencil, I regret doing this and would highly recommend getting a stencil as recommended. However, it is possible if you are insane (cc @Lazr). Here are some noodz: This design is so clean and...

Video quality is similar to VGA, but the RVL-DD is smaller, has fewer wires and a tighter integration with RVLoader (brightness control, etc).

It is probably not dead, the trim still looks fine. When you sand or trim further, any cold joints are likely to pop off. The power and grounds on your AVEflex look suspect I would reflow those. Also check closely around the edge for areas you need to resend. Also check if all the vias on your...

HOW IS THIS SO CLEAN!!! Great work dude. The fact that it hinges open is so slick too.

This turned out so nice!! Great work

Turned out great!! Can’t wait for the full write up

I would recommend finding a version of this screen with the SPI connections broken out, and use SPI instead of I2C. The reasoning behind this is that the RP2040 has plenty of GPIOs to drive a ton of Chip Select pins for SPI devices, whereas using I2C will require a solution for multiplexing I2C...

Can you take a picture of the front and back of the screens, or link to the screens you are considering buying? The screens themselves don’t handle the communication, they have a little driver board attached. Most of the driver boards have a jumper to change between i2c and spi mode.
