Starting to put everything together, I have hit a few minor roadblocks:
First, I realized my audio amp (PAM8803) will not allow for a headphone out, so I ordered a TDA1308 and I'm going to see if I can stick that before the PAM8803 to get headphone audio. If that dosnt work then I guess the headphone jack will just be aesthetic.
Second I originally had a little voltage divider to bring the fan voltage down to run quieter, but it wasn't as simple a solution as I thought so i'm just keeping the fan at 5V. It runs a little loud but once its in the closed case it probably won't be an issue.
I did have a brief scare where the batteries were not fitting in the case due to the epoxy and og wavebird shell elements, but I got them in there.
Because the audio circuit will go beneath the Wii motherboard, I have to wait until my TDA1308 comes in to screw in the Wii board and fully assemble the bottom half.
In the meantime i've been working on the top half and getting the wavebird board all hooked up, I did manage to mod in those T3 sticks just by drilling some holes.
