Quick update: I'm still working on the case to make sure that my printer can print it with no problems and that it looks as clean as possible, I'm experimenting with switching materials for extra heat and impact resistance too. I ordered my boards 20 days ago and just received them a few days...

So I've been waiting on chips, ICS, microcontrollers, components, and who knows what else, I've lost count, for over a month and I pretty much ran out of things to test without the board being ordered, which I don't want to order before I have the money to buy the hot air station (Don't judge me...

Hello mods, Is there any way for me to change my name on here? I'm looking to use my newer name instead of the old one I made when I was 14 lol.

Alright guys update, you know what doesn't make sense? Spending literally weeks designing and perfecting the PCBS and then clobbering together a quick square with filleted edges as the case design. So fuck it, I spent a few more hours on it. Case 2.0 it is. It's not original, it's dumb, my 3d...

All the boards will be posted publically very soon. I'm finalising everything still and keep having to go back and fix or change things as the design of the case is changing or I find myself able to make some improvements! Be on the lookout and I'll post here as soon as they are. I'm holding...

ALRIGHT SO! I finally got all the measurements out to a place I actually liked the feel of. The case is simple enough, I'm not much of a designer though I'd love to have the battery parts thicker and the rest thinner on the bottom side of the case but I have no idea how to do that, so...

Quick tiny update, I'm making the 3d models for the case and all the components. I'm a massive fucking idiot and have been testing things wrong. Here's the thing, my fusion file is in cm, cura is in mm, so when I've been importing things in I've just been adding a 0 to the scale. That should...

Alright everyone, time for an update... I've sunk countless hours into this over the last 3 weeks, and through that time I've learned a lot. So without further ado, I present to you the big small 3: First up we have the ps2-pms: Currently just need to find a 1uh 10mOhm inductor for the board...

HUGE update coming tomorrow after work. I just stayed up till 4 am for the 14th day in a row but it's all worth it with only 3 PCBs necessary to run the ps2, what I think might be the SMALLEST USB-c PD and data board and a new idea for the battery indicator LEDS that I haven't seen anyone use...

And so after too many hours spent on the PMS, I think I have my final version... Unless I really screwed something up. I added button functionality through the sysoff pin that the BMS has running through a latching power circuit to turn it high and low which cuts off power from the battery to...

Update: I've been hard at work on the controller and amp design, and I'm almost done with it. But I got the package of inductors and they're 10 times bigger than what was advertised... So I'm looking for a replacement that's going to be smaller because I will not put an 8mm inductor in this...

Get familiar with KiCad, start with schematic builder because it'll be a lot easier than actually figuring out trace widths and stuff like that, and then move to pcb builder, make sure you're double-checking sizes of caps and resistors before you select (I was burned by having a whole board of...

I absolutely love the idea of the LEDs in there, look into making a very tiny cheap clear 3d print diffusion layer around the sides of the joysticks, it would make it look so freaking cool!

The first update is made up of the 2 major parts I had to fully design myself, This is the ps2-pms, all components are currently soldered to one side of the board, it's only 2 layers since pcbway will print it for 5 dollars that way, and I was scared of putting components on the other side...

Hello everyone, A Long-time viewer here. The bug bit me a few years ago and I spent close to 2k on a 3d printer and components to make a ps2 portable, got it 90% working, then abandoned the project due to life happening. It was a spaghetti of wires on the inside. I only trimmed the USB ports...

I've been banging my head against a wall with these docs for 3 days now and I can't for the life of me figure out what resistors to select for R3 Since R4 seems to always be set at 15k in all their diagrams, and I haven't the slightest clue what the Vripple is which is apparently necessary for...

Unfortunately getting a few boards seems to be a part of this hobby, I burned through 2 ps2's while doing my first model

I saw ben heck boost 7.4 to 12v for an n64, Honestly I think it might, I'm planning on doing a few tests to see if it works, I also noticed that Gman has done a single battery ps2, which probably means that he had to boost it to 5v somewhere for usb

Have you tested at all to see if the power delivered is clean enough for usb to run with no issues? Also be on the lookout because I believe it was shanks back in the day warned against amazon regs overheating and melting in portable applications which is why the community insisted on building...

Wires look thick enough to carry the current and wire points look clean enough, I have a concern with what the chips in pic one look like, it looks like 2 of them have melted which might be the issue since everything else looks fine.
