SwampFox56 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I received these beauties back from manufacturing today, and I'm curious if anyone (besides myself) would be interested in a dropin version of Longhorn Engineers mod? I'd actually like to contact Electronic Sentimentalities and ask if I could get a hold of his schematic. Maybe allow him to sell these for a small royalty fee if I could use his design.... Just thinking out loud there. Anyways, If I sold these, would anyone be interested? Currently these boards are a hybrid between SMD and DIP. I'll likely change the DIP version of the CD4050 to SOIC. Probably leave the diode through-hole since SMD diodes are more expensive than DIP style diodes. All criticism welcome.Oh also, there are no Values on the board due to manufacturing error. I used DirtyPCB's new site so some errors were expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattyboombatty Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I can't believe nobody has replied to this yet! I guess the mainstay of 2600 fans around here have embraced the warmth of the Big Sexy (which few people want to mod) However, I'd love to use this on another L6er or a resistor-modded 4-switcher. The soldering of wires with the original LHE mod is cumbersome at best, even for experienced solderers like myself. Plus the sprawling wires don't have an easy route or cable gutter. A drop-in would be excellent! Terrific design by the way. Can you show how exactly it "drops in"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariKid81 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I would also like a better explanation of how this "drops in". I am very interested. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Electronic Sentimentalities uses the batari-designed version for the 2600, and the Longhorn 7800 version for the 7800. Search for Let's design new video mod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I would also like a better explanation of how this "drops in". I am very interested. Thank you. Looks to be like the old CyberTech S-Video mod. I found that to be much easier to install than the LHE mod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampFox56 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Thanks for the comments guys, I guess I should have shown this from the getgo. The board drops-in by soldering pin headers to the board, and then soldering a socket on top of the board. All like the pictures below (plus a picture of the board installed in a Light Sixer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
