Hey all, recently my school schedule opened up nice so I'm going to try to make a portable wii to keep myself busy. I'm not super concerned about most of the details at the moment, right now I'm looking into making a functional trimmed motherboard to start. Once I get that working I'll move on to picking the exact screen, audio amp, controller parts etc.
I'm leaning towards purchasing the RVL Power Management System and the USB C Charging + Internal USB Drive to start out. It's expensive but also looks like the end-all be-all solution to confusing charging circuits and such. I've picked out a couple of 18650's from Samsung, I'd like to know if these would work properly with the power management system. https://www.18650batterystore.com/products/samsung-35e?variant=37119891832983
One more thing; Should I invest in a hot air reflow system or can I just stick with solder wick for relocating the U10 (and other intimidating de-soldering jobs)? I've heard different things from different people and I don't want to spend 60 bucks on the hot air reflow if I don't really have to.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me out with details! I'm new to working with electronics, and this is a bit daunting. I'm excited to see what I can make and what I can learn from this!
