    No I just use a multimeter probes on each regulator to see the voltage or the voltage point in the top of the board..and the resistance I check in the regs as well. When i get home today I'm going to just take the board out and check all of the connections..worse case scenario I have another...

    Does anyone know of any vias or points on the bottom of the board to check voltages? It's hard to get to my regulators and I really dont wanna have to take the whole board out if I dont have to. I'm thinking it's a board issue, because I did try a different screen and still nothing. I think...

    Just frustrating because everything worked fine but I had to dissasemble and reassemble almost everything to get it in the case and now this. Hopefully I can figure out what's the issue.

    Thanks dudes, I've spent a lot of time with the design. I've never 3d printed a case before, and it still needs a lot of adjustments but I should be able to get it done by the deadline. Measuring everything out with a caliper and then turning it into a model was challenging but surprisingly the...

    Worklog Sneak Preview of my second portable

    I got mine through shapeways it's a poly nylon material plastic and they form it using laser sintering layer by layer with a powder. It's really durable and the texture is awesome

    I appreciate it, but I said screw it and took the plunge. It was through shapeways and seeing as I already did the front from them I wanted to get the back done from them also. Ended up paying 90. The front was like 70. 165 was rediculous but I realized one of my battery compartments was solid...

    So update..... . Sadly I dont think I will be entering the contest this year. I can't buy the back half of my portable until next Friday and by the time I get it I'll have about 1 day to assemble and paint it. Highly unlikely I make the deadline...I would get it now but Its about 165 dollars not...

    Dude I got mine from shapeways also, I thought i recognized that plastic lol I think they do an awesome job. Fyi I dont know if this will apply to your case or not but you can use your soldering iron to melt into it pretty easily. In my case I melted in brass screw post helicoil inserts. Your...

    I'm actually anticipating getting the back half more than the front. Just got done tweaking the final touches and will have in printed in a few days or so, I should have it in a couple weeks. If all goes well the project should be done before the contest deadline. I just got my "A,B,X,Y" buttons...

    So my front half of my Case arrived today and I'm Super fng happy. I thought it came out awesome, it's a nylon plastic I believe from Shapeways. "Super strong and flexible" in white. Everything fits perfectly the screen fit amazingly, and all of the buttons, there's a little body work I need to...

    Just wired up Audio, and I'm officially done! For now..until my case arrives, the only thing left to do is wire up the buttons once fit into the Shell. Hopefully I will be wrapping this project up in the next few weeks as its taking FOREVER to receive my order from Shapeways :( need a 3d printer..

    Yeah I did it all in blender, which was a challenge compared to fusion360 or one of the more "proper" cad programs for 3d printing to exact scale but I already have been using blender for a long time so I made it work. The most annoying part was you have to make sure every mesh you add to the...
