Bush's tiny N64p: The Whacka 64 (FS/Commission!)

I know this. Thats why I changed to thicker wire. I now get the max voltage that the pth08080 gets with a 2k resistor.

Yeah, lower wire gagues (thicker wires) are better at carrying power than thinner (higer wire gagues).

Home wiring wire ranges 3-14 AWG* from Speaker wire 10-22 AWG, ethernet 20-24 AWG, telephone 22-26 AWG, and 30 gague ... low voltage signals, I guess.

If you scroll down to the calculator on powerstream.com and enter {30 AWG, 1 ft, 3VDC} you will see a drop of 0.211 V, where as 18 AWG will drop 0.013 V.

Using four bits of 30 AWG in parallel willdrop that drop to 1/4 (0.053 V) since the crosssection will increase 4 times, (equivalent to 24 AWG).
I'll spare the fancy math and suggest doubling up the speaker wire to see if that brings you that last bit of voltage.

*I've seen 16 used, but it isn't reccomended.

Lookin pretty sexy sir, hope you get everything worked out so you can finally cram all that in there and finish this!

I'm lovin that port you made. Howd you do it?

I'm guessing something like: box + N64 controller ports + wire + spraypaint ..right?

Sounds bout' right

Very nice!

When you sell it, I reccomend then go towards Vacuum Forming.

updates?

I was waiting on a copulate resistor, which finally came.

Nicely done!

. I cant wait to see this baby finished. It would have been cooler if that 4 player box was usb instead of vga sortof like shockslyers 6th. Its just more common. Other than that it looks great!

usb only has 4 pins, and you need atleast 5 to get all 4 players to work.

An 8 pin USB would work, but it doesn't matter now that he has already assembled it

i really wanna see how this little thing turns out

Are you still going with the button arrangement from your previous picture?
