Worklog Ashida REV 2

[Retro95]

Hey everybody!

My boards from 4 layers came in the mail and I'm starting on building my second ashida. This time with HDMI out and micro USB to connect to a 4 port controller dongle.

I've already got the wiring worked out on my bench top set up. Now just to compartmentalize it all into the case

Bench top wii with simultaneous HDMI out and controller dock:


Here's the new enclosure printed in semi transparent ocean blue ABS filament with blue clear buttons:


HDMI port and micro USB B port:


I got some advice from Customledmods and he recommended what LEDs to put in all my buttons to give it some fantastic flair.

I'll update with more photos once I make some more progress. Progress will be slow. It's really nice outside and I like to go camping every other weekend.

Wired up some LEDs to one side to test it out. Camera doesn't do it justice.

Also trying out lighting up just the buttons. The A B X Y buttons are gonna be a bit trickier since I want to put the LEDs in a place that the wire won't eventually break if it's moved during the button press

damn thats hot, i always wonder how people wire up the leds, do you connect them to the board or to the batteries or someplace else?

I wired them all to a little piece of unpopulated breadboard. These LEDs are 3.3 volt so I was just planning on wiring it to a switch and the 3.3v rail on the PMS-LITE
