Re: WII U RASPBERRY PI 3 FINISHED

Hm, here's a passing thought. Could I substitute the teensy and wire all the buttons (with the aid of the pcb board things) directly to an arcades zero delay USB controller? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152165136765 Obviously I'd lose certain features that the teensy provides. But for the convinience ...

Re: WII U RASPBERRY PI 3 FINISHED

So let me be dumb for a moment and ask some utter noob questions. If I wire 'that' specific pin on the 18pin fpc, does that provide it with power (on command) via the USB from the pi? If so if I use the 8pin on the back of the home board to a DIP board, and connect that up to a teensy, will that po...

Re: [WIP] Wii U Gamepad build

After writing my complaint about soldering tiny potentiometers. I got cocky, I noticed how 'loose' the pins were and moved them a bit and rammed it into some veroboard and bent the pot back a bit. This essentially created a board I can use for soldering the ins and outs. When the simple way doesn't ...

Re: [WIP] Wii U Gamepad build

Oh, and as for the tablet style battery, you might run into issues. I had the same idea and it's just a tad too much without modifying the gamepad shell. Nothing a little dremelling and something like plumber's putty and paint couldn't fix. I measured up the battery to the case and such and from wh...

Wheel potentiometer

Hey, I'm trying to find a wheel potentiometer that will fit in my Wii u pad build. I bought a gameboy replacement B103 and Jesus Christ is that thing small I eventually managed to solder the wires on, sound worked, but I the couldn't volume. I'm guessing I damaged it in the process of soldering Are ...

Re: WII U RASPBERRY PI 3 FINISHED

As promised here is the Teensy code.. It's a wee bit more complex looking that the code that was posted, but I am sure you will find that it is much more flexible in design. A couple of things to keep in mind when using this code. If you are using analog sticks they must be defined on the right sid...

Re: [WIP] Wii U Gamepad build

Oh wow, so in theory...I can wire the power for the screen and amplifier to that.. Then remove the switch on that board and wire it to the TV control button? Yes it will work Would it be possible to incorporate the Video output change in some way to that? For HDMI output you need a HDMI switcher Ed...
