    4Layer Product Line Update

    In the datasheet it shows how it would take 91.7 years of continuous transactions to reach the rated amount. For this application, they are both great technologies.

    Question Original N64 Stickbox in Switch Online N64 Controller

    Looks like there is an encoder to analog voltage converter in the schematic. Good starting point

    Question Original N64 Stickbox in Switch Online N64 Controller

    The original n64 stick uses encoder instead of potentiometer. You would need to write a microcontroller program to read the digital encoder and then output analog voltage using DAC. You'll need some pcb design, microcontroller and coding. Would be simpler to use GC style joystick without the...

    Solved Ashida troubleshooting

    It looks to me like the ffc connector was attempted to solder and it didnt go so well and then the pads ripped off. If the pads are ripped off, the wires wont be making connection back to the gc+

    Solved Can the PMS-PD 2 be powered off of 5V instead of 3.3V?

    There is a resistor on the pms pd 3v3. I dont see a problem here. If it is functioning, wire it as it is intended

    Solved Can the PMS-PD 2 be powered off of 5V instead of 3.3V?

    If there is low resistance from 3v3 to ground on the PD board then wouldnt it cause the same low resistance if you hooked up 5v to it?

    Question What 3d printer is best for portable cases

    I was tired of operating my Form2 so I sold it and now gladly pay pcbway prices for better quality and options too. There are 2 general types of consumer 3d printers: FDM and SLA. FDM printers are your standard plastic extruders which usually results in pretty obvious print artifacts. You can...

    Discussion parts avaliability

    You need to design for availability. I go straight to digikey/mouser, sort by in-stock and pick the component with the most stock that fits the application and hope it doesn't sell out by the time the prototype is done. Sometimes you need to buy chips before you even finish the design. This is a...

    Solved Where to wire the joystick button on GC+ 2.0?

    The "S" connection on the joycon sticks are for the center joystick click which is not necessary in every design. Some people use it as a creative solution for something but in most cases it is not wired

    Question PMS-Lite short between 3.3V and not charging cells

    Either need to rework the board or get a new pms https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/BQ24292IRGET/4146960 https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/vishay-siliconix/SISH615ADN-T1-GE3/9695081

    Question PMS-Lite short between 3.3V and not charging cells

    Yes it sounds like the battery protection or battery management circuitry has fried on the PMS. Your setup with the battery switch doesnt look very safe to me if that battery contact hits part of your wiring that can take a split second to damage it. Also if the multimeter shorts out when you...

    Question PMS-Lite short between 3.3V and not charging cells

    see thats not continuity between 3v3 and ground when you measure without battery

    Question PMS-Lite short between 3.3V and not charging cells

    You should remove all the cables. Also measure 3v3 to ground since that was your initial troubleshooting.

    Question PMS-Lite short between 3.3V and not charging cells

    Is this with all the wires removed from PMS and PD? Did you always disconnect the battery when you worked on the PMS? And not accidentally poke other circuits with the multimeter with the battery connected?

    Question PMS-Lite short between 3.3V and not charging cells

    Disconnect the battery. Measure resistance from B+ to ground and PW to ground.

    Question PMS-Lite short between 3.3V and not charging cells

    Which part is "2R2"? There isnt a designator with that and it can be hard to decipher the small silkscreen lettering.

    Question PMS-Lite short between 3.3V and not charging cells

    Hard to say what's going on. Is there a specific area that gets hot when the battery is connected and the pms is turned off? There should not be any heat if it is off and not charging

    Question PMS-Lite short between 3.3V and not charging cells

    I'm not doubting you, but how do you know the batteries are not charging? You can test this by putting the volt meter on the batteries and when you insert the charger, the battery voltage will raise slightly. Also with the battery connected, measure the voltage between PW and ground. it should...
