NOAC help

Post by Toad »

Hi guys im new here and i just wanted to know some information about the NOAC. 1. can it run off of rechargable batteries, if it can could sombody please show me the link. 2. When i make the NOACP is it the same wiring as the nesp. Thanks in advance cause i dont know this stuff because im only 13. :D

I'm 14 and I know this stuff. Therefore, you can learn this stuff.

1. Yes, well duh. Just hook them up to the power input. 4 or 5 cells should do, more than that and you'll need a regulator, although this depends on the NOAC. The FC is kinda picky but the Superjoy is relatively insensitive.
2. The wiring for most portables is similar. The controller connects to the console- it's different for each console but relatively easy to figure out. The video and audio go to the screen. Power goes into the NOAC. It doesn't take a lot of reverse engineering to do.

It's possible, but 3.7V (1 cell) probably isn't enough. SO you'll need 2 cells (7.4V) which I think is too much. So you step it down with something called a 7805. Search it. Read the datasheet, I'm not going to tell you how to use one. In a datasheet most of the stuff is useless, but there are useful specifications and always check the pin assignments and wiring diagram. Oh yeah, for a parts source try Digi-key or Mouser, there will be a lot of models. You want a LM78C05 or a LM78M05. Pick one, and look at the minimum quantity. Don't order yet, there's other things you'll need to get. Also if you are cheap like me you can salvage all sorts of stuff from VCRs and any sort of electronic junk. You'll also need some filtering capacitors; I usually put 1 100uF and 1 .1uF cap on each side. Don't understand this? Time for you to read up on electronics, my friend.

In any case, I've derailed. For your batteries you'll need the batteries, a protection circuit, and a charger. Other people can help you with that.

I had a brainstorm at school- I'm going to write a book about beginning electronics! No not really, maybe a 10 page guide.
