If you need a model of the DS Lite shell for your purposes, might I suggest checking out @Wesk's DS Lite 3D Scans to use as a reference? It should be pretty accurate, and you can either manipulate the scan directly or design your own model based on the scan!

JLC will usually manufacturer boards that are out of tollerance if you accept the risks, so I'd definitely say you got lucky here. The boards are probably not going to have an issue through their process, but they can't offer any guarantees when they're outside of tollerance. In any case, my...

A new build with a direct drive in 2024?! And a revival of an old classic! You sir get a gold medal! A suggestion, your wiring is a little spaghetti. One thing I recommend you do is bundle sets of magnet wire together (ones that are not noise sensitive, I should add) by tying more magnet wire...

Dual tacts have 2 actuations. The first actuation is like a softer click, not like a squishy tact but not as sharp as a clicky tact. The second click is much sharper and feels much more like a regular clicky switch. For an N64 build though I personally would prefer to use something with only one...

Hi everyone! So as user @connorl discovered when ordering flexes through JLCPCB (and also through Yveltal's infinite foresight), JLC will not manufacture these flexes as-is due to the tolerances on the castellations being out of spec. Have no fear, for I have come to save the day! Here is a...

I would advise anyone here to not attempt this until you have some more experience under your belt. Not trying to gatekeep or anything, but WUP-50 Wii U's aren't exactly the most common thing in existence, and the sheer number of extremely complex relocations required here is not something that...

FPCs through PCBWay are indeed very expensive. These FPCs through JLCPCB are $15 for 5, and they also currently have a one time use coupon available for a free 2 layer flex PCB order for boards less than 100mm^2. Perfect for these if you want to give them a shot!

For what its worth this doesn't necessarily always happen to 6 layers, just a thing that can happen. I have a 6 layer Wii that I've had since launch and its still chugging along and working great, just depends. Also, yes, all colored Wii's are 4 layer boards, if you're getting one to use as a...

Gonna need pics here, video artifacts can mean a lot of different things, and a pic of the screen/internals will allow us to confirm whether its a GPU fault or something else. Please send some pics or a video of the artifacting you're seeing. A clear pic of the front and back of the motherboard...

Several things you need to check here: 1st off, please make sure the display you're using accepts 15KHz sources (aka 240p, 480i), most PC CRTs that accept VGA do not. You'll need a scaler if you want to use this on those. 2nd, please clear any sorts there might be, especially when it comes to...

For PU-22, the process is exactly the same as PU-18 and a lot of other revisions. The GPU is the same between these revisions and also breaks out the H/V sync lines into convenient vias and test points. Sorry for the crude diagrams, did them on my phone. Theres 2 locations for H/V sync, firstly...

I love the use of an FFC to connect the two halves! Excellent work!

You're welcome my guy! Hope you enjoy it!

None of this setup will work for you. You need a regulator that is capable of supplying 5V at 2.5A minimum, which this Adafruit board cannot do. If you want to use lithium batteries, you also need a BMS (battery management system) that can properly manage charging & discharging, ideally...

Teensy 4.1 would be extremely overkill here, especially for the price. I'd recommend picking up an RPi Pico for $5 (which even this is overkill but RPi Picos are a really good price and are very widely available), or even an Arduino Pro Micro or any AVR board that can do USB HID. Would be much...

I too have also received my Secret Santa package today! Kinda weird how 3 of us all got ours at the same time... heh. This year I got the legendary @Gman, and he sent me an electric screwdriver! I was actually in need of something like this, so he pretty much read my mind, and this is...

Just asked Marshall, if you got a board from them then they were tested before they were sent out, so you should be good to install it.

Oh perfect, thanks for the honesty and clarification! I'll clarify that I wasn't trying to be accusatory in any way, it's just important for people to know these things going in when dealing with lithium batteries. What I'd recommend for your test setup is to do a full charge and discharge...

[snip] I should also ask, have you tested these cells and can you make any guarantee in terms of functionality and remaining capacity? If so, do you have a testing setup that you could show us so that we can confirm this guarantee? You are selling these for quite a high markup compared to the...

Nice work! Btw, maybe it would be a better idea to use one of these replacement AV ports for your project, since they seem to have an overall smaller footprint? Entirely made of PCBs, so you might be able to incorporate the overall connector shape into your build and just slot a PCB that has the...
