Is the right pin the MCLR/Vpp on the board? I've tried to program and the programmer comes back with a different ID. When I try to program it attempts it but never finishes

Hi guys. I just want to double check this since I'm running into issues trying to program these things. What is the pinout for the programming through holes? When trying to program it the programmer claims it doesn't recognize it as a PIC18F25K22 and it doesn't want to program.

Hey guys. Apologies if this is the wrong section for this post. I'm considering buying supplies to make some GC+ boards since it's been a while since the last batch. I'm just gauging interest so if I do plan on creating them I know approximately how much supplies to pick up. This will probably...

I'm sure you guys know the drill. In search of a GC+ here in America. Anybody has one they're willing to let go let me know.

Perfect. :). Thanks a ton for the help. Video looks great for such an excessively long cord due to using a shield wire. Huge shout out to @JacksonS for his audio amplifier with switching headphone jack. It works beautifull! All that's left is to find a gc+. I guess now I should also start...

Here is the board layout.

Before I start connecting the Dalian Good Display, are there any alterations I need to perform to run it off 5V? Currently it asks for 12V and I have a feeling just connecting that to 5V won't be enough.

Alright. So I've gotten around to cleaning up the board and tested the resistance: 1V is 212, 1.14V is 45, 3.3V is 6.3k, and 5V is 4.8M ohms. 5V seems a bit weird but I probably won't even be attaching that to the board so I'm not too worried. Before I start reattaching the USB port, do these...

@Enrique exactly as the others have said. Here's my setup: My switch is rated for 16A and 25Vac. A tad overkill but better safe than sorry. ;) Anyways a switch only needs to be attached from the positive end. Hope this helps! Also a side note. Once you attach it to the regs, make sure you...

Alright guys. It's been a hot minute since the last time I've posted an update! School got too busy for me to work on this the past couple of months but now that it's in between semesters, I'm going to try and get as far as I can. Updates! Finally got the battery holders and I was able to put...

I should bring up a bit of an update since I've been quite for almost two weeks. There's been equally major progress and no progress. Good news is ive got a Wii working with u10 relocation. After fiddling with the first one, I decided to bust out my spare and relocate that one. Went a TON...

Time for the weekly update! Work has been unfortunately slow with classes beginning and waiting for supplies to come in. My Wii has made very little progress. I still have no solution to my issue. I completely desoldered my U9 to make sure there was no shorts. Without any U10 or U9s on the...

I tested the voltage on the Via side both where the wire is soldered and on the pad tp119 (where the Via leads to) and obtained 3.3V. I resoldered the wire on to Via and onto the U9 incase it was just a spotty connection. Still the same thing. Update: Ok so new discovery. I tried testing the...

Yup. I'm getting 3.3V in that line. Edit: Ok. Well I got it to work....strangely. I checked the voltage on the pad where the gpu wire is and the Wii booted up portablizemii. I don't even ground the other tip, I just tap it and it works. Every time I boot it up I need to tap the pad with...

This is very weird. I've tested continuity on the gpu wire and I have a connection from the chip all the way to the other end Of the Via trace. I tested the trace that was cut and I have no connection. I don't seem to have any shorts with the solder on the Via. Or on the chip. Any...

Well the LED turns on and powers to green, but no output. I probably need to short the pads, but unfortunately one of the resistors came off on top of one of the pads. I assume it'll be too dangerous to short straight from pad to the pad of the resistor.

Weekly Update Thanks for everyone's tips! Using @jefflongo and @GC64 's method, U9 relocation went a TON smoother. I was also able to route the wire to the GPU. My question now is, can I still run the wii now to make sure everything is ok before trimming or will the fact that the board is...

What resistor values are you using for your regulators?

UPDATE: Ok so I began U10 relocation. Aaaaand it went pretty rocky. I spent a good 30 minutes working at the U5 Hopefully I haven't done too much damage. After cleaning it up a bit it didn't look to bad. Then came working on the U10 IC. As it was coming off, on of the legs decided to stay...

- @GingerOfOz Thanks of the clarification! I guess that means I'll have to consider a different audio amp. Kind of interesting that there isn't a board out in the eBay market that readily supports this... - To be honest, I've had my doubts about the battery pcb too. If not for the fact that...
