I still have the parts/boards for a couple dozen more circuits if people are still interested. Check the first post for prices/details, send me a pm to order.

Just to let you guys know, I'll still make these circuits for anybody who wants one. If you're interested shoot me a pm.

When I play Wii on my projector, setting up the sensor bar is a real pain, the cables aren't long enough and at the distance I play, the pointing is unreliable. I considered making a longer sensor bar and fixing it to the wall but aesthetically it put me off. I recently saw a really great...

I started to do something like this too, but haven't got very far yet :(

I went to buy a couple of li-po cells from batteryspace, but they want to charge me $85 for economy shipping to the UK! (I know they're classed as hazardous materials etc. but that's WAY too pricey) So I need some kind soul from the USA to do me a big favour and forward a package to the UK, I...

*bump* see the first post for details.

You could simplify the circuit as mario did here, but the way you suggest would lose functionality, the green led wouldn't switch off when the red came on. The 'extra' transistors are there so you get a sharp change between the green/red leds and not a gradual fading where both would be on at...

I've started to trace the n64 controller but haven't had time to finish it yet so make sure you double-check for yourself, so far I get: As far as the d-pad goes; Up-Pin 3, Down-Pin 5, Left-Pin 4, Right-Pin 2.

A quick bump to say I'll start taking orders from today, and that I've updated the first post with pics of the final board.

I checked at the post office today, and the shipping is slightly more expensive than I thought. I've updated the first post with the definite prices and will start taking orders this weekend. @Toastbucket I could make a version for 6V, but there'd be an extra $1 charge because I don't have the...

I made a little prototype of my low-batt circuit today, and messy hand-soldering aside, it turned out pretty well. I've got enough parts on hand to make quite a few more, so I thought I might offer them for sale here on the forums. (excuse the poor mobile phone pics) dimensions: 17 x 15 x...

Re: N-SexyFour Buildlog They would have been right, both of those diagrams are logically equivalent. The one you posted first is probably best though, it uses less parts/power.

I'm not sure about the leds, I got them from some random junk ages ago. They're an odd side-looking package, probably about 0805-sized, ~2mmx1mm. I'm just running them from the 5V pin on the vmu connector, so they only come on when it's in the controller, not that I ever have batteries in my vmu...

I was bored yesterday, thought I'd have a go at backlighting a vmu. I was inspired by bibin's gameboy backlighting guide, I had all the parts to hand so I tried this first. It works quite well, but it's not perfect. There's hardly any room behind the vmu screen, I used a thin piece of roughed...

Not really, they're only there for decoupling, it doesn't hurt to include them though.
