Got my Wiikey ordered from FoundMy. going to be out of town this weekend and can't bring this with me so expect no updates :/

Having some issues with my voltage regulator, with the stock cube regulator picture comes up normally, but with my custom regulator picture comes out like this:


I know it's not a problem with the batteries as they have been fully charged. Not sure if it's the 3.3v line or 1.7v line. seeing as I've tested it with two different PTH08080's (that have worked perfectly on an N64), I'm going to try switching out the 1.7v reg with a different one. The PTH08T230W seems to handle higher amperage so as soon as that comes in I'm going to try it out and see if it works. Will keep you guys updated!

Use thicker wire for the power lines.

PTH08080's have a 2amp limit. The 1.9v line on the GC requires about 6amps. Most likely the issue. I'm surprised it works at all to be honest.

Not even gonna lie, that never crossed my mind. switched it out and it works fine now

hmm seem to be having issues with the analogue sticks wired up to the chip on the controller. it seems even though its wired correctly, i can only move the x axis and sometimes it seems to register that its moving without me even moving the stick. ive checked the continuity and it seems there are no shorts. any ideas?

Are you feeding it 3V?

Yup.

well, when i wired my controller, i tested it on my pc with an old adapter i had, and it seemed like everything was on and moving weirdly.
However, i tryied it the next day and almost everything was fine (almost cause B was still permanently on but i've fixed that now)

What i'm saying is that for some reason it needed to rest.

Now, if it were me i'd get a new one, or try different resistances maybe i don't know

However, on all the controllers i have ever trimmed and wired (only 2 but meh) it didn't work properly unless the 3 ground pins were bridged.
Try this if not already done.

It was just the controller. bought a new one and it works perfectly. Got my screen ordered too, so hopefully that comes in next week. still waiting on the wiikey.
Don't have the money for paint so I'll just be sanding the case and most likely not painting, thus I've come up with the name UglyCube.
