Re: Sprocket64 Worklog. Progress is always an option!

I have to finish a commission I've had for a long time, first. I'm adding a GBSP battery to a Game Boy Pocket and adding an overclock switch. I got all of that done and when I power on to test, I find the right and A buttons don't work. I have NO clue what it is, I checked everything. So, I'm going to use another GBP mobo and THEN I can work on the Sprocket64. Expect some progress on this portable tomorrow.

How about when you go to sleep and wake up again.

I got my commission done.

I'm tired of modding right now. It's 9:45 where I am, so I'm going to bed. Sprocket64 tomorrow!

PROGRESS WOO
I might be setting up a live workbench webcam tonight around 5 or 6. There is a slim chance (but still a chance) that I won't be able to, though. But I probably will!

ARE YOU LINKING READY

The accursed power board. I need to build a new one.

Controller board chopped up, rewired, hooked up to all the buttons and installed:

Overall view:

THERE WILL BE MORE PROGRESS LATER
STAY TUNED

Re: Sprocket64 Worklog. Progress is my APHRODISIAC

Here'z da scoop. I got my stuff back again this weekend so I will finish up the Sprocket64. I got it functioning on Sunday, but it still needed a couple things.

The problem with the power switch board is fixed. I rebuilt the circuit, but it still didn't work right. So, I used the circuit to switch a relay that switched the portable instead. Right now I have a resistor for the relay (it's only 3v) but I am going to add a regulator.

I have an IC that detects when temperature has reached a certain limit and switches something on. In this case, it will be a fan.

I need to run the batteries low so I can calibrate the low-battery meter.

And that's it! Then it's putting the Retro64 back together, building a 2p LOB64 cable, and uploading a video!

Must have. What's the part number?

Re: Sprocket64 Worklog. Progress is my APHRODISIAC

TC622xxx.
The three letters are different depending on what maximum temperature they can detect.

I have one in my Retro64 set to 65 degrees celsius. I installed it today. The portable has been running for 1 hour and 45 minutes, but the fan hasn't turned on yet, so I'm not sure about it. Maybe it hasn't gotten that hot, maybe I wired or wrong or fried it of something. I'm still waiting.

Re: Sprocket64 Worklog. Progress is my APHRODISIAC

couldn't I use those so that once a device got to a certain temperature an LED can change to a different color if i have a multi-colored LED? if so than i have some plans for one of those.

Re: Sprocket64 Worklog. Progress is my APHRODISIAC

Sure, easily. Check out the datasheet, there's lots of info.

Test it with a hair dryer.

EDIT: Or, hold your soldering iron very close to it.

Re: Sprocket64 Worklog. Progress is my APHRODISIAC

A bit too late now, it's locked up in my portable now. I ran it for 2 1/2 hours and it was totally fine, so I suppose it didn't overheat.

LOB64 Sneak Peek!

Comparing my Retro64 and Sprocket64:

They're much the same dimensions, just the Sprocket64 is wider.
