Wiring without PCBs/making my own?

Post by Vyrago » Wed Jul 26, 2017 1:36 am

Are you going to make the diagrams you used for wiring the pcbs available? With the supply being sold out, and the uncertainty over whether I can get one when they're back in stock, I am worried about getting mine finished soon enough to give to my stepsons before they move across the country from us. I would like to try wiring it up myself without them to get them done quickly.

I think OP is wanting to make his own PCB by hand using copper tape. I'll get to it soon - there were only a few people wanting to make a 2.2" version so it's not been a huge priority.

now we have the STL files, I can get to my guide for hacking up original NDS Lite boards... ;) (you know, for the full-on hard-mode DIY nut jobs like myself and @obsidianspider ;) ) Though I need to finish my own easy-mode minty build first :lol:

The supply isn't sold out.

PCBs will be available to order in a matter of days, once Helder gets more LCDs in stock. As he has said many times (with great exasperation).

The post says it is. There is a good possibility that the boys will be gone very soon, like a couple weeks. I really wanted to finish them before they go, so they could have something to remember me by. They have plenty of stuff from their father, but their mother doesn't allow them to have much from me. Hoping these can slip under the radar.
