So - after an ongoing argument and a massive amount messing around, plus a small spot of engineering and swearing - I finally managed to get the camera to connect to my computer! So the heat sync got cutup to fit [warning graphic content!] And this is the unit laid out - it all fits and is a...

Actually I not long ago made it all fit - pretty much how you said it too. I ended up cutting the heat sink up in a creative way, but with blocking it still works really well. Then a fraction of a millimetre here, and another there and it'd appear that I've squeezed everything in. Even the...

I was thinking along those lines - although I'd only want one colour so could probably simplify it further. In the meantime we've hit the "it doesn't fit with the cooling system" part of our progress, so as a wise man once said "we're going to have to think". Were he alive today he'd probably...

I was wondering what this was something like this: https://hackadaycom.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/wii-u-computer-mod-thumb.jpg?w=600&h=600 I've seen a few things for the likes of the xBox controller but they all seem grossly overcomplicated. I'm big on simple - although given how bright it'll...

So, nothing sprung to mind when it came to how to inverse the signals from the Y axis of the left thumbstick without making physical "modifications" so I opted to try and cut the different traces. Naturally they were on both sides of the board for prosperity. So one thumbstick desoldered, one...

Another question for everyone: If you run padtest.elf what value do you get for "up" on both of the analogue sticks? I'm getting 255 (ish) for up and for right for both thumbpads but in the only game I've had to test on (Samurai Western) that seems to be inverted. It's looking like I'll have to...

I was more wondering if it might be one of those LEDs that was one colour at one voltage, and another at a different voltage. Turns out that it's not, and that it's driven by 1.7V (which won't be enough to get light out of the only LED I've spare on the Wii U board which is blue) but hey - it's...

I've been sniffing around here, but the problem is that I've cut that bit off the board I'm using. There are a handful of vias along the lines that I'll try and follow it back to. Come tomorrow I might see about attaching wires so I can track things a bit better. Part of my gut says there's...

I always knew this was going to be a very tight fit and was wondering why I take on projects like this, but figure I like the challenge. It's heartening to know from an expert eye that it doesn't look like something's about to go really wrong. To be honest I'm not far off giving up and doing...

Ripped out the power sections for the unit as having them inside the case as opposed to outside was just another thing to cool and get in the way. Heat sync finally arrived today (talk about quick!) and typically it doesn't leave enough room for the HDMI board. So at this stage it's either...

Red Dead? Close, it's "Samurai Western" - I'm a sucker for Western themed games, and this was the smallest of all of them to put on a USB lol. Talking about the lights I lose the trace while trying to track it through the board. Is the PS2 a four layer or something?

I only just stumbled across this thread. As fate would have it I took an interest in electroplating non-conductives about two years ago. Long story short: I'm dead keen to find out if anyone has a good solution for this as I gave up as none of my solutions were up to my standard of what I'd call...

As a question for everyone: -Does anyone know where the points for the status indicator LED are on the SCPH 7900X board? I was thinking that I'd like to tap into it to monitor my power situation.

Right, these last few days have been a challenge, but I've managed to get some time to push ahead with this project. For those who like wiring this is probably the biggest mess in the whole damn thing, you can see the edges of the custom "button board" that I cut out of some copper shielding...

I've used some of that fancy interwound wire for the audio system which seems to do a good job of removing any noise in the lines. What I mainly meant was that it went snap, crackle, and pop while I was moving it and messing with it. In other developments: As it turns out the screen needs it's...

So after a bit of peering at the PCB through a loupe I concluded that it was between the amp and the source (as you said). I cut up the old amp board and wired bits and pieces into the tiny and really simple amp board I was going to use for another project, jumpered a few things that were...

Genius idea! I've actually been scratching around my scrap pile and wondering if there's enough pieces to build something, do you know which side the volume goes on? Before or after the amp? You've triggered a bit of a crazy idea ;)

I would really like a solution with a dial or wheel for volume control so that I don't have to cut holes into the case or find a location to mount it as I'm quickly running out of room for that due to having mounted everything around the case already. Is there anything in that respect that'd...

So my audio amp died, for no other reason than apparently it decided to. I am very open to suggestions on which one to get instead!

I'll try to get something up in the next few days. I was busy wiring up the controller when I injured my hands in a fall. Really it's just starting to look like a mess inside at this stage :XD:
