GCP Handheld

Yeah, check Shockslayers GCP thread. He had a similar problem with one of the regulators.

EDIT: here it is. http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php ... c&start=15

Yeah i already have it wires correctly but still no go. I think i maby have defective components gonna do a clean build in a minute. And SS never succsesfully used the custom 7,4v regulator. He is using the standard one with a 11,1v battery

I think i know what is the problem since i haven't got my battery's yet i'm usig the psone screen adapter to power the cube and i think it can't handel the current draw for the 1,9v line(it makes a weird humming noise). Though the 3,3v and 5v line can be powered I'll just have to wait for mmy batterys then or find a strong 7,4v adapter

[schmellyfart]

Oh I thought you were talking about the 1.9v line

[zenloc]

I am talking about the 1,9v line. But I already know what the problem is the PSOne adapter can't handel the current draw from the 1,9v line. I have to wait till my battery's get here. Then I can fully test and see if it works.

Ohh Gotcha. This is coming along really nicely. Cant wait so see it finished

[zenloc]

After waiting a couple of weeks and still not getting my battery's I decided to rework the case. Case was ugly and needed allot of touchups.

Case is primerd so all I need to do is paint it.


I haven't decided what color it should be. I was thinking of pearl white but i'm not to sure. What do you think? pearl white? black? platinum? red? glossy or matt paint??

Hey, where's the start button?

[zenloc]

I didn't like the placement before. The type of controller I'm using has 2 z buttons one left and one right. Right wil be used for z and left for start. It's easier to use and like that everthing is in reach without moving your hands. I will put the brightness and volume buttons where there normally suppossed to be under the screen. Just haven't drilled out those holes yet.

That. Looks. AWESOME! So simple, but it sill looks good, and it has curves! As for color, I think baby blue would look nice, and ask yourself, who's done a baby blue portable anything? Definitely a matte finish, maybe a little glossier to hide any imperfections (though it looks pretty tip top at the moment). Also, great idea using the extra R Button for start.

[zenloc]

thanks altough baby blue isn't my cup of tea I just painted it white today but it's a bit boring. Might do multiple colors. Time to photoshop. I'll post a couple of example when done.

[jjhammerstein]

How about GC Blue?
Er, this color.

[zenloc]

that's not blue that's purple i don't like he original purple that much to be honest. But i do remember indigo blue which looked quite nice.

[jjhammerstein]

According to Wikipedia, Nintendo referred to it as "Indigo."

According to this post:



the power requirements are quite steep. You would need batteries with plenty of amperage as they could draw 3.6 amps at maximum; also, you would need two TI cards to generate 1.8 amps for the 1.9v line.
