This is my first official post on here. Everything prior to this post was an automated import from the other place. Now, I guess it's time to rip off the Band-Aid and actually move over here for real.

So far, GK are the only ones I've seen making TMR sticks for the Switch JCs. There's CHEAPER options for the full-size stickboxes like the Pro Controller, but as fast as I can tell they're just white label/knockoffs, same quality just cheaper, nobody is making anything better (that I know of).

It's... terrifying. But, like, in a cool way.

Nah, I have an adapter for that. At this point, I'm just sick of wasting time trying to debug dev boards only to find out it was the cable all along.

I swear I have another box full of cables around here somewhere. I need another empty box anyway for full-size type-B cables. But this is a huge improvement.

qwertymodo @qwertymodo.com · Dec 7

Just picked up one of these cheap USB cable testers, and it's the best $10 I've spent in awhile. Halfway through testing and sorting my entire box of random cables, throwing out all of the useless 2-wire "charge only" cables, separating out 2.0 vs 3.0 type-C, etc.

If you're building flexures, PETG is the way to go, no question, regardless of environment. Other filament materials end up suffering stress fatigue failure with repeated flexing, PETG keeps going like a champ. I just have a long love-hate relationship with it over print failures.

qwertymodo @qwertymodo.com · Dec 7

Turned out great, haven't had time to build the rest of it though. The key to bed adhesion for PETG is a garolite bed plate heated up over 85C *measured* surface temp. It's an insulator so I have to set the bed to over 100C to get there, but then it sticks amazingly and releases perfectly when cool.

Oh neat, I didn't notice the attiny.

By "overclock with a button combo" do you mean the SGB Commander sequences? Because those are supported on the stock SGB2.

Audio output: "Pro Sound" mod, panel mount jack style of your choice
Serial connectivity: Original link port output and/or built-in ArduinoBoy MIDI interface
Power: On-board linear power supply for clean audio
Misc: Aesthetics, etc.

Some of the possible options to discuss:
CPU: DMG or SGB (fast boot)
Controls: Panel-mount buttons and/or controller port (e.g. SNES)
Screen: Backlit? Bivert? Color? (RGB/changeable?)
Video output: Optional USB-UBC via built-in GB Interceptor
Cart slot: Optional built-in flash cart

2U is the smallest it can be it you want the screen. If you want a fully headless unit (or possibly external screen via USB), then 1U would be possible. Price depends, it would be a bespoke build with lots of optional configuration, so that would all be discussed ahead of time. But... not cheap.

qwertymodo @qwertymodo.com · Dec 2

Does anybody want a 2U rackmount DMG GameBoy for chiptunes? Because I have plans for one, and really want to build it, but I have absolutely no use for the thing and can't afford a useless project, so I'd love to build this thing for somebody who would actually use it...

ifixit usually provides a bottle of solvent with their kits that makes it a lot easier to remove, you just have to be careful with it because it damages plastic (pretty sure it's a mixture of acetone and isopropyl).

Weird how they went with the Star Wars numbering system but only ever released 7.

qwertymodo @qwertymodo.com · Nov 29

No worries. Nice to hear they added the option since then.

The LCD Jewel project is still in the works, it is moving to a new MCU. The ESP32-P4 is a powerful video enabled MCU that is designed for multimedia, which is what I want the Jewel to do. Here is my first PCB Test, I am just waiting on the P4 to drop for mass manufacturing.

This was a 4-year old archived post. BSky's attempt to avoid abuse of their API by faking older posts has led to the opposite problem in cases like this.

Yeah, we're decommissioning a bunch of workstations and servers, and I was able to convince them to let me pull fans and disassemble hard drives instead of just drilling them out. Gathering a nice collection of still-usable bits.

Well, without having hands on the thing or a known service history, I can't really say any more than that, but here's hoping it's one of the easy options (fluid/filter change) because if not, the answers get pretty ugly pretty fast. Good luck!

Probably not clutch plates then, do you know when was your last transmission fluid replacement? It's a 70,000-100,000 mile sort of thing, so it might have been awhile
