NESp worklog!

[joeyjoe9876]

well since i don't really have the money to work on my GCp right now i am going to be starting a NES/NOACp
i will be using the DX 3.5" screen with a yobo that i am getting from Banditpaw1. i will most likely be using a ZN-45 or ZN-40 project enclosure from polycase and i'm not so sure about the batteries yet but those can come later lol.
i'm still waiting for my screen and the Yobo to get here so i can start working on everything.

For my NOAC portable, Im using a 7.2v 2000 mAh battery from Radio Shack. So you could use that one or something similar.
I also found this for hacking up your screen.

And good luck on your portable.

[joeyjoe9876]

thanks! and i might already have a battery i can use, it's one of those Ni-Cd GameGear battery pack things and on the sticker it says its rated 7.2v 1.2Ah and i have 2 7.2v 1800mAh Li-ions camera batteries. and i've been looking at LoB's notes on the screen and they are very helpful!

Edit:
would this protection circuit work for my Li-ions, or would i have to get a different one because i'm using 4 cells? http://www.batteryspace.com/pcbfor74vli ... limit.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

can someone help me out with what protection circuit i need to buy? can i get one of the ones i linked to and wire two of the batteries in parallel and wire it like how you would wire it with two cells?

Ok it depends. What voltage out are you going to get? How many A is the battery outputing? What charger are you getting?

Also are you connecting then in series or parallel?
Remember that one of the connection adds the mAh and the other one adds the Voltage. Keep that in mind

PS. I bough one that has a fuel gauge. Its pretty neat.

OK i got the screen in the mail yesterday! heres some pics of my actual NES playing Mario


can't test it on the yobo cause well i don't have it yet :/ also i have tested the screen running of of 7.4v for a little bit!
with the NES the screen rolls :/
i also have bought the protection circuit and a smart charger for my 7.4v batteries and a ZN-45 for the casing! just waiting for them to come in the mail. also waiting for the Yobo Banditpaw sent me...

Just wired my NES controller, took a while but it worked on my first try! now i just need some PC board to mount some tact switches on and hopefully all of the Controls will be done!



should be getting the case soon!

[joeyjoe9876]

ok guys i cut up the case a bit just for the buttons to fit in, its sloppy a little bit but some Bondo will help clean that up!

[joeyjoe9876]

just cut the screen hole, still need to touch it up a bit though



and yes everything is held in by scotch tape until i start wiring everything

[banditpaw1]

I hope you yobo gets there soon! I really want to see this bad boy.

[joeyjoe9876]

thanks! also i emailed Polycase about getting a new case hopefully they will email back soon.

[joeyjoe9876]

luckily i went to goodwill today and found a 76000 in one gaming clone! it has a famiclone slot so i'm gonna buy an adapter and use this for the portable, i will still be using the Yobo for a NES clone too its just i wanna use this thing so i can get it done quicker as i wait for my yobo!

[joeyjoe9876]

projects being put on hold so i can continue my GCp

[joeyjoe9876]
