Battery, voltage, and wire questons

Post by buddylove5 »

Hey guys. Pondering how one would go about making a portable And I still have a few questions. I ordered the ti pth8080waz and I'm wondering ifthats the right model. Also what kind of resistors or capacitors would I need to put on it?

And Or the n64 does the type of solder or wire matter? If so where could I get some that works well?

What kind of battery? I would like to use a recharble one but I don't know what would work best.

Current list of needed parts:

n64(s) w/controller
psone screen
2k-2.2k ohm resistors
100 uF capacitor
wires ( that will work how I want them to)
and a decent battery that can be recharged

is there anything I should add before I start frying 64s?

sorry for the über noobish post. Thanks for your time.

Thank you for the info. Very useful and simple to indersand. Now hopefully I'll be able to start my project. =p
thanks again

edit: what about the charger? Just curious how to wire it up and keep it internal so all I have to do is plug it in thru a hole on the side. If possible haha.

For the resistor how many watts do we need? will 1/2w work following that diagram?

You will not want the charger internal, adds to much weight and heat and takes up a ton of room. Just hook up a female power jack in the portable and wire the charger with a male jack and you're set.

What about a 2k 10w?

Why in the world would you need a 10w resistor. LOL

So a smart charger would do the job?

I've seen the pic of one online with the alligator clamps and I'm wondering if I would keep them or solderthe female ditectly to the battery or wires to the battery.

And also possibly a diagram or place where I can find one? Thank you so much, it helps to have a plan before I get started this weekend. 8)

edit: I found a diagram. Correct me If I'm wrong but the female charge port connects to the pcb?

connect a male port to the pcb, and put in a corresponding female port on the charger so you can plug it in indirectly and all that good stuff.

diagram? How would I indirectly charge it? Sorry for all the noobish questions. Would I be able to plug it into the wall to charge?
