Just...keep one for me, lol
Even at like 25 bucks I think I might buy one. The convenience and storage factor calls to me.
That's really nice of you, I'm sure she'll love it!Bought another SX license yesterday and I'm going to give a hacked switch to my sister. I've not bought any dongles yet. Using reed switch with tegragui on pc. With this I wouldn't need to carry extra jigs or dongles and that's what I want...even though nxloader really does the job the few times I'd have to restart the console.
What's the resistor on the (presumably) Jig?
and $25? Dx, Wish I had enough, Gonna save up now >:3
Dude - didn't even realize this project was yours! It's bad ass!!
We should collaborate! And how on earth are you soldering that USB c?
Thanks! That means a lot coming from another circuit junkie. I'd be down for a collab, got any cool ideas?
The USB Type C and everything else will be soldered by hand - I'm hoping my experience hand soldering TQFP and 0603 packages will keep me sane. The boards I ordered are 0.6mm thick and should just fit between the pins of the port. It was the most expensive Type C male connector available, but it's also the thinnest at 2.4mm, and the ones that have a metal clip on shield seem too fragile to me. I'd rather not have a bunch of people emailing me that their ports broke. This one lets you use the actual case as mechanical strength instead of just ground pins, and I put nice big pads for it, so it should be much more robust. I've got a 32 mil tip for my trusty TS-100 that should do the job.
Now you know why I want a pick'n'place so much
wa? But if you have the jig, why would it short? :? like, I don't see how, cause it's solid metal(unless you are using something like foil). Like, I don't see it shorting? (I just don't understand.)The resistor is just in case. If something goes wrong and you accidentally short out the wrong pins somehow, it won't be a dead short and should prevent whatever you shorted from leaving this mortal world in a puff of blue smoke.
I don't have a full BOM yet, but I can tell you that in quantities of 1, the ATSAMD21E18 is $4 CAD, the supercap is $1.20 and the USB connector is $1. That's before any shipping costs. The case stuff is about $6.50 if I order 10 of them. There will also be a cut of whatever I make going to tindie. $30 CAD is about the minimum I can sell it for to at least make it worth my time and make a little bit to invest back into my hobby and make new and better boards in the future.
Also, I've cleaned up the main post a bit and attached the finished poster I've been making which should answer a lot of common questions.

another thing you could do, is just make a mold for them, probably not now, but it'd be cheaper I think overall.
Btw, if you are still using CAD, what shipping carrier do you use? I was ordered from them, and it was like $15 for cheapest(granted it was like 30 boards altogether I think, three different designs)
Wait wat lol, I was talking about making your molds lol, which is pretty cheap, the mold itself would be like $30, and then resin for a couple of cases(atleast 10+) would be another $30 (you'd have to look, it's been a bit since i've checked)Molds start at $2500

Are you sure your cap system is actually functional? From my point of view, when you would try to get your donglecart out of the cart slot, you'd push it to trigger the cart slot spring, then your donglecart would stick out a bit... but just a bit, and the only thing you'd be able to pull out is the cap while the actual dongle cart stays in the cart slot lol.
Anyway, I love that project. If it actually works (after a fix or not), I'd most likely get one (or more, depending on shipping costs).
Pardon my misunderstanding, how would you change the payload files on here? I see no USB port.
