Smithy Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Posted November 14, 2011 Well after soldering 66 wires yet again.... and after threatening to sell it for parts if it didn't work this time.... What happened? It worked! Its finally done and luckily the Earth hasn't imploded on itself... which means there will be time to play with it. :) There are 2 optional extras I must do down the line, like the LCD window and the feedback pots, but I think I'll have a bit of fun using it vanilla, before then!

There was a few leds not lighting when I made that video and the cabling detoriated over time. I went and soldered the cables to the pins on the Baseboard like you done in the end. The Base Board connectors fit in okay, but the crimps qwew a bit loose inside them, so the contact wasn't great, and certain things went unpowered. The connectors and crimps I used were the low profile version (brown) of the 3 Pin ones used for Chasis Fans in PC's, or even the Power LED in the Commodore 64 (the holes are quite big). So I would recommend using Smash TV's style crimps and connectors (the same type that is used for HDD Leds, Power LEDs, and Reset Switch in a PC) as they provide a better contact. I may have to change the connectors on the CS PCB to these down the line, but so far It seems to be okay. Edited November 15, 2011 by Smithy Quote
