For completeness I'll update this in case anyone else is looking. I've managed to ID the model and manufacturer. Diodes Inc AP3019AKTR-G1 Looking at the datasheet, it would appear we have a few methods of brightness control. Either PWM on the CTRL pin or by altering the DC voltage on the FB...

No need to blush, I've had times they've worked with native drivers and times I've had to force feed windows a driver

Gorgeous work

Hi, silly question but did you install the driver for the USB UART bridge? https://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH341SER_EXE.html Awesome project by the way!

Thank you! :D

Thank you. Honestly, if you don't already have the tools I'm pretty sure you can buy the profiled panels cheaper than tooling up for it, I learned that the hard way lol. But go for it, you won't regret it.

Thank you. I miss it dearly, and will make another one day, for myself haha

Nice! I look forward to seeing it someday! Haha, absolutely! A time of long days and nights with no responsibilities, never appreciating really how good we had it!

Thank you, it really was a blast to build and test (ok by test I mean I played it over and over before passing it on to it's keeper haha) I can highly recommend building one, you definitely should go for it, don't delay :) They sound like very fond memories :) I can wholeheartedly get where...

Not a problem, no need to apologise! Thank you very much :D

Just a few pics of a build I did as a gift for someone a few years back, this was a really fun project and I'd love to do a full size cabinet with a mini pc one day. The build consisted of: Stereo amp and speakers Raspberry pi 3, running retropie, with roms on an old portable hard drive USB...

Hi, ** Disclaimer ** I am definitely no expert! But here's my honest opinion, I'm sure those more versed than me can elaborate better. **End Disclaimer** Modelling software kind of comes down to personal preference but I love fusion360. I tried a few before settling on that. Don't skimp on...

Decided to play with the LCD driver's firmware to try and cheer myself up after HID failure lol. Driver being poked to read it's firmware, using I2C over HDMI raspberry Pi. Time to take a look through it tweak, and reflash. Hopefully. Many thanks to Floppes for providing the python tool and...

Thank you! :blush: although I have been an idiot and will have to redo those wires lol. Yes @LCandell that is the very next plan for the spare gamepad. I cannot wait, but have vowed not to begin until this is done.

Thank you for digging that out, I'd come across it before but lost where it was! Unfortunately I can't see the Google sheets doc, is that a BOM?

Yes it took a fair bit of time, and it will now take even more. If you study my photo you'll notice I made a glaring huge mahoosive mistake lol The Nano cannot be used as a HID :facepalm::eyeroll: In my rush to gain some extra input pins I ditched the pro micro I had in my hand and grabbed...

I actually found it quite therapeutic... Don't get me wrong, there were times when the special words were spoken but I've actually really enjoyed it so far. Looking forward to getting this one buttoned up so this can happen.... <evil_laugh></evil_laugh> :XD:

Hiya, well my google fu has failed me... I'm on a quest to understand my LCD driver a little more. It's a PCB800852. Specifically the backlight driver portion. In the hopes of modding/replacing it to be more efficient and offer variable brightness from within software. Can anyone help id...

Thank you very much for the kind words. My OCD is a blessing and a curse :XD:

Quick update... Finally got the Arduino wired up to controls, just need to finish tying the common grounds together and go over the code/test. I could do with more input pins, I'm considering a shift register or maybe trying the home menu board to the pi's gpio.
