I know right? You hear "chicken nugget" and think "oh it must be near the size of a chicken nugget" but it's pretty close to the size of a Gameboy color

I have received QTY 1 Nug via USPS. I really have been romanticizing over the idea of keeping the battery tray and putting two 10440(AAA size) 300mah 3.7v cells in it to keep the Gameboy battery nostalgia, but goodness gracious does it take up a lot of room in the enclosure... I'm sure...

Omar did you get this working? I too am trying to get analog audio out of a pi zero. I am gonna try stitches forum link after work one of these nights but was curious if you got it working yourself.

You forgot the best box of them all! The AMIGA!!! That's immediately what I thought of when I saw your model. I'm stoked to see your progress.

I got controls working using a script file called GPIOnext to assign buttons to specific GPIO pins and then binding them in RetroPie I still need to get video to a tiny screen working. I can go with either GPIO pins or the included Tv AV out on the pi zero. I will make this decision once I...

What power rail was shorted to GND? The PMS soldered to the Wii with batteries connected will show 4 ohms to ground on the 3.3v rail but it's not an actual short. Check all voltage rails to ground on the PMS and Wii now that they're separated.

I actually already got the Adafruit battery 1000 system for the charge and play. As for audio options. Debating using the 4layer U-AMP or a MAX98357 or something by Adafruit. Lots of options.

Working on my prototype while I wait for my chicken nugget to come in the mail. I got my raspberry pi ZeroW in the mail. And I built a basic controller on blank PCB to get a feel for wiring custom controls to the GPIO pins on the pi. I'm going to wire everything on this acrylic so I can make...

Woweee an omega trim! That's gonna be tough, but fantastic to see you pull it off. Can't wait to see more!

I wired them all to a little piece of unpopulated breadboard. These LEDs are 3.3 volt so I was just planning on wiring it to a switch and the 3.3v rail on the PMS-LITE

Wired up some LEDs to one side to test it out. Camera doesn't do it justice. Also trying out lighting up just the buttons. The A B X Y buttons are gonna be a bit trickier since I want to put the LEDs in a place that the wire won't eventually break if it's moved during the button press

I'm hoping it will make for some real nice finger rolling from holding B down to pressing A to perform a running jump. Guess we'll see!

I'm going to physically cut the main button in half and use each half with its own tactile buttons underneath to do A/B so I can avoid cutting up the enclosure for another button. Like this:

No I can't seem to find anything reliable online. I'm sure I'm one of the few to Google "McDonald's chicken nugget Tetris game internal dimensions" I'll just have to measure everything once it's in my hands. Based on photos of people holding it, it appears to be at least 70-80 percent the size...

600 is fine. The important part of what you're doing is slowly stepping up in grit to remove the copper partitions of the board that stick out after you trim the board. These partitions sticking together will cause shorts. As long as your resistance values are good after you sand. You can...

Hey everybody. MadMorda has inspired me to also make a whacky summer contest entry with hacking and slashing and hot glue. I'm going to make a Gameboy out of the Chinese chicken nugget Tetris game that is coming in happy meals overseas. I already ordered a chicken nugget for import on eBay...

Majority of the vias have a super thin coating that makes soldering to them difficult. Having wire thin enough to go into the via does add strength to the solder joint but I haven't had any issues soldering to vias after I have scraped them to where they're nice and shiny.

Have you tried removing the soldering mask from the vias? The solder mask makes it nearly impossible to solder to a via with any strength whatsoever until it's removed. To remove the solder mask you can use an edge of an exacto knife with it tilted sideways and slowly drag the tip of the blade...

Is there a reason you aren't using batteries to power the device? Since you haven't been able to boot into RVLoader and change the button settings. It should be set to "temporary" which means you need to flick the bottom switch to on, then back to off, to get the device to power on. Same...

It's really hard to see what's connected where in the photo. Could you upload a closer shot of all the wiring? Did you apply the 4 volts to B+ and B- on the PMS-LITE?
