WII U RASPBERRY PI 3 FINISHED

[yemu]

hi, thanks for the great info and great thread,
I read all the pages and now I think I undderstand how this works

I was wondering if it would be possible to address the problem that it's not possible to charge while running (because of the 1A output of the charger) by using charger with bigger output: for example the one that uses TP5100 instead of TP4056. what do you think?

Not really a solution. 2A charging current - 1,7A current draw = 300mA for battery charging. It would take around 20 hours when playing to fully charge a 6000mAh battery

ok, but at least it would be possible to play using a charger without battery depleting.
do you think it makes sense?

Hi banjokazooie

I'm still unsure about the couple of elements you have on the picture on the first page.
I made a version of the image with description, could you please tell me what are the elements marked with "???" ?
I could then make a version with all elements described, and you could put it on the first page to make live easier for the next gereration of builders

thanks

The red board is battery protection and the blue one is adafruit push button switch ( at the end not used a I went for software controlled on/off switch ) and black one is the other end of sd card extension cable.

Can i use this

No you can't use it, it delivers only 1A on the output.

Hey banjokazooie, awesome post. I'm in the get-everything-purchased-and-delivered-from-china stage of this build and I've come across a couple issues I hope you can answer:

1. Why use a powerboost 1000 over the 1000c? You gave an answer but I didn't fully understand it. Could you elaborate?

2. I have the same USB dac you have coming in the mail. I was wondering if there was any way to hook up a mic to it? If not, do you know of an easy way to use a mic? I would like to keep the one that came with the shell if possible.

3. Do you know where I could order the female connectors for the joystick? Or even what they are called? I've been looking for weeks now with no luck.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you render. And awesome build.

Guinan.

Just like the TP4056 Charger. They also offer "only" 1A. Or can not the TP4056 also use and must go to Adafruit?

1. Basic math. Current required to power rpi3+lcd+accessories is more than 1000C can deliver. 1000 BASIC = 2A, 1000C=1A.
2. There is mic audio input on this sound card.
3. Sourcing parts used by nintendo is not an easy task without part number. I removed them and soldered wires directly to pcb board. I see no reason to used them unless you want to make a custom pcb.
