I've been helping develop little server devices for a mate and had to relocate the ethernet board on a little Orange Pi, and it simply died, which is annoying as hell especially when you've got everything together. My heart goes out to you here!

Not a bad idea. Given that there's usually at least a third of participants who don't manage to complete their entires within the time limit could there be a second date set as a "late delivery deadline" which gets it's own little event summary? If anything just to recognise work done and share...

Ok, I've had similar happen, and it happened a week and a half after I thought my paint job was done. As it was explained to me it has to do with the paint in the layers not being 100% vapoured off. What probably happened is that your lower layers continued to breathe vapour out through the...

I was interested to see if I could use it to "fix" my Wii U PS2 as the thumbsticks on the Wii U are inverted and it makes sense to solve that using a control chip instead of some sort of component or scruffy re-wiring setup. I just had a glance at the code and being in C it's right up my alley...

Is the PS2+ public? I'd be keen to have a play with that if it is :D I will note that I've had a lot of misadventures with PIC chips and the best advice I could give anyone would be to spend the money on a good programmer with an easy mounting slot - I use to do things by hand using a...

Forget the competition, this really is the thread that I check every day for - the hurdles, the stories, and the fine craftsmanship - it's all fantastic!

It's beautiful! I think I want it as a tattoo!

R3/L3 - yeah I've done that. While you might be classy and add another shoulder button I gave up and just put in bigger sticks.

Oh I am in love! I need to seriously consider making myself a CNC machine!

Checks profile. Am glad I'm still a nobody :)

Suddenly this is fitting:

From an evolutionary angle roaches haven't changed for more than 300 million years - all the way back to the carboniferous period. They've survived about five mass extinction events which makes them almost as perfect as tardigrades from a species angle due to them having never changed. Don't...

The PS2toHDMI adapter gives a truly beautiful picture, but actually windows the image a little meaning that only 5.7" of your 6.5" screen will actually be used. At least that was my experience, and I'd be very interested to hear if someone knows a way around this :)

I love so many things about this idea! As a fan of accessibility mods I'm super keen to see what you come up with!

Personally I like large screens, so the L7009 is my go-to. It's got a small driver board, and also accepts YPbPr which the PS2 can output. In saying that I also did a HDMI PS2 portable so I think I might get the "crazy" flag when it comes to giving advice. Thing is that screens are like clothes...

The standard lion 3.7v batteries can be charged up to about 4v at maximum. If we're talking about 18650s (really common, super easy to work with, you get the idea) they tend to be considered "flat" about 3.2v, so in series you'll have a running voltage between 8 to 6.4v to power your portable :)

Otaku offer a mod to do this. I personally investigated making a solution to the N64 region checks years ago with a couple of others and while we made good headway the project just didn't keep up steam (the other problem being the other functions that the PIF does pertaining to controller...

You'd have to ask G-Man what his trick there is - he's several levels above me in terms of knowledge and skill so I'm afraid I don't have the answer there. In theory one could make a temperature control fan which mightn't be a bad idea either.

Pertaining to fan + heatsink, Stitches suggested this one to me a while ago and I've had zero problems with it: http://original-power-adapter.com/ibm-thinkpad-380z-2635hga-cooling-fan-mcf5010m05-05k4990-05k5494-p-5906.html Pertaining to PCBs I've made a few for assorted projects using Eagle...

Most of portabalzing is reading and trawling the internet for different things to use. You mention a custom PCB and I saw XCK did the same thing and have been musing on it myself - I think it could be a fantastic idea actually, and could cut down on a heap of messy wiring if we could wire...
