Re: 64 BOY wip *UPDATE 02/28/10*
Where can I get a 7.4v lipo 1.5amp smart charger?
I don't know why but when you click on the 1.5amp charger on battery space it just takes you to the homepage. Either out of stock or discontinued because I haven't seen it on there for a couple months.
My current charger just barely isn't enough to charge and play at the same time, when it's almost dead it peaks between 1.3 and 1.4 amps. So I need the 1.5amp charger. But battery space doesn't have it anymore.
So does anyone know where I can get a 1.5amp 7.4v lipo smart charger?

All I had to do was scroll down.
*sigh* I'm having a bad week.

Re: 64 BOY wip *UPDATE 02/28/10*
Alright I got a little bit more work done. I've cut some holes, did some filing, everything is going smoothly and should fit. Now that I have 3 weeks before mgc I'm kicking it in to high gear. Overloaded in fact.

I'm going to try to finish the case in the next couple days (without paint, that will take an extra day) so expect updates. Here's what I have left.
power led/battery indicator hole
power switch
screen power switch
1st player switch
speaker holes
contrast and volume knobs
So far I've neglected the docking station so I'll work on that later, I'll try to that over the weekend. I'm also going to try to put rgb on the docking station, not sure yet though because last time I tried rgb with my psone screen it didn't show up. it might have been the screen though, back then I didn't really know what I was doing, I'll test it with and actually tv, if so the station will have composite, s-video, audio, rgb, and 4 controller connections, and still be smaller then the last one.
Lots of work to be done.
PS. I got a 1.5amp charger from SS!

Update in first post.
By the way I'm having some trouble with the rgb mod, I just can't seem to get it to work, any advice.

Looks really nice. Small too. Wish I had your casemaking skills.

Re: 64 BOY wip *UPDATE 03/10/10* *56K*

I might have a problem....
I can't get the volume adjustment to work, I think it might be the wattage of the pot. It works with my other potentiometer but no the small one in the case.
The one in the case is rated at .1 watts and I don't know the one that works, I don't have the packaging anymore.
They are both 10Kohms though. The only way the small one works it to bridge the wiper and voltage terminal, this of course means it's just bridged and the volume can be adjusted.
Is there a way to add wattage to a potentiometer? I doubt it but it's the only pot that I have that fits, radio shack doesn't have any that small and I don't want to order small ones because it would take a week then I wouldn't be able to bring it to mgc. Oh I'm in a pickle.
(by the way I'm using the TPA6021A4 amp)

This is the one that's not working: (I added a knob to I could adjust it without a screw driver)

I really need your help guys, I haven't really received any help in this thread.

Re: 64 BOY wip *UPDATE 03/10/10* *56K*
THANK YOU OHMS LAW!!
I added another 10k trimmer that's rated at .75 watts, now it works fine. The reason I didn't use the second one because it was slightly too big and it's a precision one so it would take 15 turns to get to max volume.
Oh well, back on track now.

The front half is done, and with some video updates. There are also pictures in the first post.

Re: 64 BOY wip *UPDATE 03/13/10*
Well when I first joined this site it was my goal to make an n64p like sifufs, the same size and whatnot, I've compared this to his picture, I put a cartridge and 2 z buttons on the back and it's about the same size as his, granted a little thicker, but mine doesn't have a slot on the back and it has batteries.
So when I complete this I will have accomplished my main goal. I do have more though.
I'll tell you a little secret, back while I was finishing the starlight 64 I started working on something else that's not an n64, I've got another one in mind and neither of them are n64s.

Got a little more work done. I've saved the hardest part for last, the expansion pak relocation and rcp relocation.

Still figuring out where the voltages should go, but that's simple enough.

Re: 64 BOY wip *UPDATE 03/15/10*
Well my tickets to MGC arrived today so I'm psyched, but the pressure's really on to finish it. And the inevitable has arrived, the only thing left to work on is the expansion pak relocation and rcp relocation. (working on the docking station on the side) I've done all of the trimming and case work so now I need to finish the board.

So the hardest part has arrived, but that's enough for today.
