The final piece I needed was Helders AIO board. It arrived and project #1 is done. Woohoo! First... thanks to Wermy for the incredible instructions and custom parts. Thanks to Helder for the super-sweet all in one board. And thanks to AJRedfern for the awesome custom Gameboy Zero splash screen. Here...

Re: Screen flickering even with 5v conversion

Scratch that. I looked up your chip and pin 3 is the correct output pin.

Re: WII U RASPBERRY PI 3 FINISHED

Hey thanks. Looks like clean soldering under magnification but that's gotta be the problem right? Guess I'll undo everything and start over. Sorry, my screen has not arrived yet. So I guess I need to figure out the problem with the controls before I get the screen and have a whole bunch of new probl...

Re: WII U RASPBERRY PI 3 FINISHED

Ok. I need Teensy help. Long story short, joysticks are great, digital buttons not so much. Short story long... I wired everything up and used Banjo's teensy code even though I knew I needed to tweak it (pin 15 is not home button/Esc on mine, etc.) And nope. I then tweaked the code making sure all p...

Re: WII U RASPBERRY PI 3 FINISHED

Re. "Pro Tip for everyone. I'm in the process of this and I found soldering the FPC adapters and connectors to be a pain in the ass. So I did some searching and found that you can purchase them already mounted to the board for a slight fee. See link below. Hope this helps someone avoid the pain in ...

Re: Wii U Gamepad zero/gamepi project thread

I do not have much soldering experience. So I laughed pretty hard when the super tiny FPC connectors came in the mail. But I was successful with a $5 soldering iron, so I thought I would share how I did it with any other inexperienced Sudomodders out there. Plus it gives me an excuse to use my clip-...

Re: WII U RASPBERRY PI 3 FINISHED

Yeah the description says that... but the board model numbers are identical and looking up the spec sheet indicates this board is compatible with any 50pin LCD panel.

Re: WII U RASPBERRY PI 3 FINISHED

I am working on gathering the items for this project and have been researching a bit. If anyone is planning on doing this, it looks like you can save around $20 by ordering the driver board and LCD separately. Based on the 6.5" display ebay link posted, the driver board is VS-TY50-V2 and the LCD is ...
