Diagram request.

Hi guys,

I seem to work best with visual pictures, any chance I could beg someone (I think Iam7805 & Skyone helped me in the past) to create a mspaint or some other diagram for me.

Well here is what I'm tring to do. I'd like to hook my n64 up to batteries. I thought it would be cool if the batteries could be powered by the original n64 switch. I guess what I'm saying is I'm not sure how to hook up my batteries to the orignal switch. Thanks guys.

Jeff S.

Please check out my progress if you want (http://n64p.blogspot.com/)

What kind of batteries?

And have wired the 3.3v adpter to the n64? If you put in in where the power normally goes, it will still work by the switch.

Hi SS,

No the 3.3V hasn't been wired up yet. I'm going to be using some rechargable 1.2 (8 of them) 2200 mah. I'm a little scared to do this, last time I did, I lost a n64.

3.6v = not good, so dont try to get that diectly from the batts.

Didn't you pm me for another 3.3v one?

In any case, If need be, I can make you a special offer. I can get a plug from an old n64 power supply, and wire everything(including lm317t) to it, and your end result would be 2 wires asking for 7.2 - 12v and gnd

For $10

SS,

I'd have to see what that is going to look like. I wasn't going to put 3.6 volt in. I still have the two that you made me. So most likely I'm going to use one of those.

There's Harsboy's and I's (nice grammar, right?). Complete and sweet.

Hi sky, Thanks I've seen that diagram before (it looks really complicated).

Why do I care if my batter is 9.6v? That's still lower than 12v right? Thanks.

The psos screen messes up at 9.6 Thats why you need the 7808

Oh, I see but for just power requirements I don't think it will be an issue.
(Let me know if you have a picture of the PowerRegulator thing you offered to make)

I don't mass produce what I said earlier, But I have made something similar:

No offense, but that dosent really look like it is "selling-quality"

Like I said, A long time ago. I'm talking summer 06

So, It'll be on a circuit board.

I happen to know a hell of a lot about N64 powering so here's a simplified version of my power diagram

If you're using NiMH batteries, use 6 or 7 cells because the screen doesn't like more than 9v. If you use more, it'll just add unneccessary size and weight and you'll need a regulator for the screen. ti dc-dc convertors from the free dc-dc convertor thread are really easy to hook up and work great if you use an inductor.

Hi what's up with the 100 uf cap? Do I need that? I'm using an adjusted linear regulator that SS sent me? Thanks.

If you're using a linear regulator then you probably don't need the cap or inductor
