Oh ok, thank you. So If i remember well the CPU is the one at the bottom and it runs completely off 1.15V, while the GPU runs off all the different voltages (3.3V, 1.8V, 1V and 1.15V). To connect them together I have basically copied the original Wii layers, so I just hope everything runs properly.

Sorry if I ask but I don't know what VCC is

Unfortunately I don't have that kind of advanced tecnology machines :XD: . I have to find another way to check the solder joints Thats what I wanted to do, since i have 6 PBCs avaliable, i can use some of them to practise

I think I'll get the 138° solder paste because the real melting point is about 160°C. The 183° tipe would be too much

Today I started by soldering the top layer components, plus the bluetooth module. I'm waiting before attempting to solder back the GPU,CPU... because I want to understand wich is the best way to solder them, also I want to be sure they don't get overcooked (I'm also getting a solder paste that...

I managed to get some 8800mAh 18650 batterry cells, I still can't belive that they really have that capacity but i got them so i can do some tests. If someone thinks that this batteries are crap, please let me now so i can avoid to bur something

Finally I got my PCBs but I've already had some problems. I made some mistakes in the PCB design: - some vias were connected to the wrong zone - I forgot to outline some capacitors Fortunately nothing complicated. I was able to find the wrong connections and I solved the problem by cutting them...

A spot welder is the best choice to perform this kind of operations because it basically exposes the battery to no heat. Long time exposure to heat can damage them or in some cases it can be even more dangerous even if the 18650 may look safer than flat lipo batteries

So I've checked on some worklogs and it looks like the g wii doesn't have any place or slot to fit the battery clips. But i noticed that in most cases the wires have been soldered directly to the battery. If you also want to use this method you should try to look at this video from minute 3:13...

U should avoid to try soldering with a hot iron station to the batteries, because heating them up for a long time can be dangerous. It's not impossible, but you should use a special tin wire. The safest way is to use some battery clips or if you still have to build a case but you need to do...

So, these days (while I wait for the PCBs I ordered to arrive) I have started making some case drawings for my portable, and I am also trying to figure out how to place the missing circuit boards that I've ordered. Here are some examples I'm also trying to make a 3d version, jus to understand...

I'm uploading here my sprint layout file, so anyone can use it to see the various connections between each component. Hope it will be useful for someone.

Finally i managed to finish recreating the Wii circuit. Now I just have to add a few details and as soon as I'm done, I'll send everything into production. Now I just have to wait for the 4LayerTech PCBs, and then I'll be ready to start testing everything. I really hope that everything goes...

If you go on the 4Lateryech store ( https://4layertech.com/products/ashida-pcb-set ) there are diagrams below each product On BitBuilt ( https://www.bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?forums/wii.123/ )there are many worklogs that you can use to check your progress and understand if you're doing...

Also try to check the temperature of your soldering iron

A Noldendo or a Wii Micro is obviously something quite "easier" but just because the screen and the various buttons are missing

A file it's a bit too much The problem is that a file needs to be used whit some force, it's not very precise and you can easily damage the via you are working with. Instead try using something like a scalpel the advantage is that it has a thin tip, and you should be able to scrape away the...

Since you are new to portable consoles I would recommend to start with something like the Ashida or the Louii, because the main parts can be easily found on the 4Layertech shop (in addition there are listed all the other necessary components, and the various diagrams) and you can easily get the...

Because I’m recreating the wii circuit board, and I have to understand if they are needed so I can add footrprints on the PCB. Otherwise I’m removing them because they would be useless

I'm not sure I need them. Looking at the usb relocation guide i see that the usb uses 5v lines. I am going to use a PMS-PD 2 and it needs to be commected to the 3,3v line. So those components should be useless
