    Outta stock

    The GC 2.0 is out of stock now too ;( I'm foaming at the mouth to purchase another full ashida set and build my second ashida with Wifi, Bluetooth, and HDMI out.

    Question Ashida Wii Attempt

    At this point with no success I would recommend heeding Gmans advice. When I built my first ashida I built the entire thing in one go. It didn't work. Then I spent a solid couple days troubleshooting it with no luck. I tore the whole thing down and tested it sequentially from start to finish...

    Question Ashida Wii Attempt

    Did you unsolder the 3.3v line to tp47? That forces VGA and disables component video.

    Question Ashida Wii Attempt

    Can you test if there is a short between your H and V sync cables on the AVE chip? It's common for those to get shorted because they're quite difficult to solder. The VGA output will not work if the H and V are not properly wired. Looks like you might have a blob that could cause that signal to...

    Question Ashida Wii Attempt

    Hi Dullboy! If all the wires are removed from the Wii, and you're getting 40ohms instead of ~7k. Then it seems like a short. Are you measuring at 1k, or 20k measurements? At this point you can try scrubbing the board with a tooth brush and 99% IPA to remove any doubt that some flux is causing...

    Well I let the resin cure for over 4 days and it failed to stop being grippy and that texture just drives me up a wall. Cannot stand it in my hands. So I threw all the boards back in my old cruddy enclosure. I just wanted something I could play while I hone my post processing 3D print skills...

    Don't worry gang, I haven't given up on my Ashida. My new driver board fixed all my issues except my funky audio board. I decided to get a new 3D printer to try my hand at printing ABS and then acetone vapor smoothing it in my custom chamber I built. It's not been going well as printing in ABS...

    Is "scuffed" an Australian slang? It's definitely possible it's damaged since it wasn't working when hooked up how it was supposed to be. I was wiring it for analog which calls for 3.3v but left my comm wiring hooked up because I didn't expect anything to change and at this point I had another...

    Well got some good news and bad news. Good news is I got audio working. For some reason the 4layer ashida diagram and the U-AMP diagram say to use 1.8v for DP pin in this configuration. Once I wired it to 3.3v the audio board shows up in RVLoader and I was able to set the audio settings to...

    Oh that's fantastic! I know the PMS LITE is detected through the SDW and SCW lines and that the GC 2.0 is detected on the data line. It makes sense that I'd need those 2 wires for the U-AMP 2 as well because on the rev 1 schematics on 4 layers it shows routing those 2 wires from the RVL-AMP to...

    Well I went ahead and soldered those 3 jumpers and couldn't get anything to appear in RVLoader when pressing the hotkeys. I'm gonna call it, time of death 9:10am... Ordering a new board from 4layer and will update this thread with my finished portable once I get it installed. Thanks for the...

    How do I activate RVL-HUD mode? I tried pressing Z+Y+DU/DD and all it does is briefly show my battery percentage on the screen

    Per your advice I measured for shorts on the solder points joining the two boards. Only short I found was between PIN18 "HS" Headphone jack sense switch, and PIN20 "HL" Headphone jack left audio.... which doesn't make sense since those are 2 points away and not direct neighbors. I can't seem...

    Yessirrr, just like the table in figure 2 on the 4layer site for U-AMP 2.

    Hey guys I need help with one last issue. I can't seem to get audio working..... At first I thought perhaps my speakers weren't making good contact with the ashida PCB but they definitely look solidly seated when everything is screwed in. Not even my headphone jack is working. I know that the...

    YOU GUYS YOU GUYS I DID IT!!!! Please excuse how ROUGH the 3D printed enclosure is. I plan on making several modifications to it, and the model to add an HDMI out and didn't bother printing in high quality since once I finalize a few add-ons I'll order the enclosure in clear from PCB way. I...

    Ah! well that makes sense. For some reason I misread/interpreted the VGA patch as it forces VGA/disables AV. I'll get the patch installed again with VGA and update this thread after testing.
