So I installed Fusion, and now i'm stuck at logging in! Progress nonetheless!
But maybe it was a good thing that I held off on the shell.
I was looking at my WUP-40 board the other day, and I noticed that the back USB traces are just about right where the module ends:
What does it mean? Well the trim line I used originally used was pretty aggressive, since it went right by the DRAM passives. However, the WiFi module sticks out just enough that the trim like can be right below the USB traces. One (or two?) less things to rewire, and it makes all board revisions compatible! (not that they wouldn't have been compatible before, since I wasn't going to rewire the module anyway).
Speaking of the module..Remember that pin I needed to wire 3v3 to? It has a testpad, but more importantly it's within the trim line!
I didn't notice that this TP went to that pin until I was updating the SMC pinout on WiiUBrew. I much rather use the TP than the via under the module plug (and short 3v3 to GND with the module shield..)
Only unfortunate part is that my NAND relocation on the original Wii U Mini trim covers up the testpad. Oh well!
Anyway, here's what the current trim lines look like now:
A5X boards:
B1X boards (aka just WUP-50):
The plan is figure out how TF to sign into Fusion. Nold told me in the discord that there was a custom .desktop in the issues, but I couldn't find it. Maybe I need to look harder?
Next is to get the PCBs made for the PSU++ and assemble them. It's basically the same BOM as the OG PSU+, with some feedback resistors moved around/changed. This might be awhile, since money is very tight for me atm.
(The source for that is here).
Lastly, I'll trim one of my many Wii U's. It won't be a 50, those should probably be saved for portables. I'm thinking of using my WUP-40 (It's the best board rev behind the 50 imo, despite it being basically identical to the WUP-30). This will happen whenever I can assemble the PSU++ boards.
Last little tidbit, I've ordered some of the drh-flash-flex PCBs. About $30 in total. Not bad! I only ordered 10, and I haven't tested them yet, but the flex source is here. Hopefully I didn't fuck up anything. It is a pretty simple flex, but you never know until you actually test it..
