Commission for marcello1~The Throwback64

Re: Commission for marcello1

Calling this the Throwback64 since it's a tribute to the good ole days of portablizing.

Cart slot is wired, 3.3v regulator hooked up, screen is wired and ready. I'm going to wait until the paint sets up a bit more before I start installing things.

MAKES ME MISS THE QUAD 64! D:

Looks clean.

 

[bud]

What happened to the QUAD64? D:

 

[Noah]

Someone stole it from his backpack.
Here's his post from YouTube.

I was at a competition for my high school robotics team in Troy, MI and somebody stole my backpack from our team's pit area. Honestly, our house has been broken into before but nobody took it then, lol. That bag also had a few hundred dollars worth of power tools in it, and some good pliers and ratchets.

 

[bud]

That really sucks. Poor Wyatt

 

[Noah]

Yeah, I'd rather have money stolen.

 

[bud]

Buttons installed, tested and working. I'll get the controller hardwired in either tonight or sometime tomorrow.

I really need to find a heavy duty DPDT switch. That's the only part I don't have right now

 

[Prog]

Loving that texture!

 

[Joeyjoe9876]

Its so beautiful..

 

[bud]

If I can find the switches I need tomorrow at RadioShack, and no problems come up, I might be finishing this tomorrow

 

[bud]

Whelp the tact I was using for L spontaneously stopped working, and all other tacts I've tried hold the button pressed. Also the switch I was using to turn the screen on and off broke. MOTHA*Can'tSayThisOnTV*A
On the bright side the whole controller is wired and working, and the screen is attached and working.

I'm tired and frustrated. I'll see if I can fix the issues tomorrow.

 

[bud]

My RadioShack didn't have anything useful. *sigh*

Good news is I'm getting some PayPal funds sometime today for a simple board commission. So I'll be ordering some switches from eBay in no time

 

[bud]

Quadruple post, rules are for pussies.

I've got some switches ordered, and I fixed the trigger issues. Everything is back on track

 

[klu]

is that like a bronze krylon fusion paint you used with some sort of finish?

 

[bud]

It's black hammered fusion

 

[klu]

I see, I see. Looks really nice!

 

[bud]

Thanks!

The switches for the screen and internal/external controller came today. I've got them installed no problem. Everything else is done except for wiring the batteries in and the main power switch. Hopefully my package from RadioShack will come tomorrow

 

[bud]

Power switch came today. I took my ACT this morning on three hours of sleep, then played a four hour tennis match. I'm just a teensy bit tired, so I'll most likely finish this tomorrow.

 

[bud]

Unofficially finished.
