Worklog: Day 1:
Not much changed. After SO MUCH finagling, I was able to get the Noldendo case imported into my CAD software so I can grab basic measurements *shoutout @Y2K you the man*
I decided to extend the case by about 10 mm, likely will be 15, to accommodate the 4 layer Wii's weirdly laid out Nand chip. I've gotten mounts made, and an attempted IO panel. I say attempted because, OnShape, despite it's ease of use, is a PAIN IN THE ASS when shelling, so much so I need to start the I.O from scratch, ALL BECAUSE i traced it on the original part. Plus, the measurements got grayed out to be almost invisible to see.
Regardless, tomorrow I have my engineering class, so hopefully I can get some assistance. The actual trimming and testing part of this project is on hold until I can get the right regulators to power this bad boy. I know it's a bit more costly, but I'll likely buy @CrazyGadget 's PMS board on his Etsy store. Thankfully, my internship boss will probably let me borrow his super neato magnifico hot air station and magnifying scope to help me do the U10 relocation, as the chip is a bit tiny for me to do on my own. *my hand eye coordination is sub-par*
Thank you guys for all of your help, and I'll see you next time I update this.
