hi banjo! thanks to you, I almost complete my project. But there is only one problem.

How can I turn on intel compute stick with wiiu pad's power button? I cant understand how to use pololu power button to turn my compute stick.

Please help me banjo!
You need to set up bios on compustick to auto power up when voltage is supplied when you press the button attached to pololu. ;)
Ah! That's what I realy need to know.
In case of raspberry pi, I found some kind of cord is need to turn on pi, but I couldnt find what to do with intel compute stick

Thanks banjo!

@ banjokazooie HI! Have you tried to modify the TDP for better performance? Trying Intel® XTU does not unlock higher power consumption.

What will be the point for higher TDP if you cannot keep the stick under 80 degrees. My second version of cooling solution with a massive aluminum heatsink and two fans could barely keep the stick under 75 in a room witch ambient temperature of 30 degrees in the summer. :o
There is just no way you can maintain a reasonable temperature under full load with case closed. :cry:

This is a better thermal solution, testing room temperature 30 ° C, full load 7W stable below 64 ° C. Update Stick The latest BIOS still cannot find the TDP settings option. :(
If you have a better way then it’s better. :)

I dont get it. this mock up of some fans and heatsink? not a real photo. A 7mm alu heatsink over whole compute stick with two fans in a closed case with almost silent fan speed cannot keep it under 64. :(

Sorry, I only changed your picture yesterday for convenience. :(
Actually used BFB0405HP 3.7x3.5x7mm fan *2, heat-dissipating copper through low-temperature tin welding, the actual operation is stable 62.

Thanks for this post Banjo, I have learned a lot reading your comments. I'm trying to replicate this project with a Core m3 in a Nintendo switch shell and this post is like gold for me.

I almost completed my project. Thanks, Banjo!
I used core M3 model, and XTU program so I don`t have thermal problem....I think
My only problem is battery. I used 3000mah, 7.4V Lipo battery. And Its battery time is too short.
I am founding other battery fit in my wiiu pad.
