Hello all,
I am working on making a portable retro console using a Raspberry Pi 5 that fits inside a Wii U GamePad shell. The problem is, the Raspberry Pi 5 is very hard to power due to its 5v/5a requirements.
So, here's what I have so far:
The Pi will power both the 7" LCD display and...
Hey everyone! I have wanted to build a Wii portable for a while, and just got the drive to actually start two days ago. I figured I would begin this process by designing a PCB for the parts directly connected to the USB-C port I plan to charge from and use for data transfers to the internal USB...
Hi!
I have tried for a few days now to get my wii to work after being trimmed. Stupid as I was, I trimmed it before moving U10, so I don't know if that is the problem or not. I managed to desolder it losing only one leg, and that leg being one of the ground legs (the ones on the side with 3...
I've been looking to get back into the portable wii world again, and after my first failed attempt a few months ago, I've taken time to learn about the basics of electricity, the parts that use it, and how things work. I'm still no where even close to perfect, nobody is, I'm only 15.

I have an OLD wii (-01 motherboard, I still have...
As the key requirement to portiblization is self powering I am at my final problem for my portable build.
I'm studying electrical engineering at Penn State so I have at my disposable all the lab equipment here and currently I've been doing any tests for screen, speakers, system, circuitry, etc...
I've got a question on the feasibility of taking a portable charger, say an Anker power pack, disassembling the pack to improve form factor, and using it for a power source. Is this possible? I've realized that spending $20 on a battery pack that already comes with a protection circuit might be...
Ok, so here is a project that I have been working on to help out with building my portables. Not a portable itself but I wanted to get you guys opinion on how I should finish it up. I took an old useless desktop and stripped all the parts out and figured I would use the power supply as a bench...
