citrus3000psi Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Sounds like a plan. I’ve never had confidence in any cable I’ve made (for any application). For the cost of the cables and quality, its not worth the time to even try and make one. I only make a cable if I absolutely have to.

mobiusstriptech Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Especially if you want any of the coax shielded cables. The cost for the cable alone is far too high in small quantities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+grips03 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 ah, good to know. I second what 511 said, fitting the PCB in the IC area is a great idea. Can I ask if that is why SMT parts where used? i.e. the bottom side is solder mask only, no traces? I'm saving my second CV for this mod. Keep one with F18a and backup console with RGB. Thanks again for making this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for making this. There are traces on the the bottom. They have silkscreen over them, but I would I recommend putting a piece of vinyl tape on the bottom just to play it safe. That very first pic of that install has vinyl tape on it. SMD parts where used to keep things small, and to be able to mount it where its currently located. I don't mess with through hole much anymore. Edited January 23, 2018 by citrus3000psi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 What is so cool is that I recently started to use RGB more (again) due to OSSC and I knew Joe Z had the document and I was about to draw it up in Eagle and you already did, and a much better job than what I would have done. So timing is perfect. I spent 8+ hours in eagle this past weekend and that is enough. Eagle work was for another project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Looks like someone copied my RGB board using SMD instead of DIP components, not cool. LOL bet you're regretting not putting out DIY kits now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobiusstriptech Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I have some of these on order which I will be installing or selling as DIY. Assuming everything goes well, if the demand is high enough, I will do a bigger batch to sell or do installs with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdn2a Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Man, that and an internal RGB to HDMI adapter, and we're off to the races!.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 citrus3000psi, is v1.1 the final pcb design? Are the resistors 1206 size? I see v1.1 posted here: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/bvflkA1B For $7.90 for 3 is super cheap. Send me a PM and I'll mail out 1 of the 3 for $3 shipped in the US (pcb only, no electronics).

It should be, but I have not tested this revision yet. But I'm confident, I do have some order. 1.0 and 1.1 differences are it can be setup to use pots or no pots (The reason for the jumpers) and has spots for caps on the RGB lines. All components are 0603. Make sure to order .8mm And isolate the bottom of the board before installation. I have another board that will help with mating the RGB wires to a mini din (This is untested, but I should have the board in a few days to verify): https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/0hrYbjDu And then using that mini din you would need this off the shelf cable: https://retro-access.com/collections/other/products/8-pin-male-mini-din-to-male-rgb-scart I have a few more consoles on the way to me, so I should be able to verify pot values etc. Edited January 30, 2018 by citrus3000psi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citrus3000psi Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Man, that and an internal RGB to HDMI adapter, and we're off to the races!.. I'd recommend an OSSC before dropping in some type of internal solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobiusstriptech Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I don't know if citrus3000psi is going to but I will be. I'm waiting on a set of test boards so I can try them and also figure out assembled unit pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting on a set of test boards so I can try them and also figure out assembled unit pricing. Sounds good. Digikey was out on one of the parts. Perhaps Newark or Mouser might have all of them in stock. I didn't want to start buying from multiple places as then price starts to go up and would just be better to buy assembled pcb.

citrus3000psi Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I have no immediate plans to sell. But I may sell in the future, if the market has demand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citrus3000psi Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I know I would buy one. Good to know. Right now, I'm in waist deep of my Gamecube kits. So once that wraps up, I may side step to this. Also what part was out of stock at digi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+H454 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The 500ohm pot: TC33X-2-501ECT-ND But, Mouser lists 6990 in stock, at least at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldrs666 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Halleluja! Some of you may remember Yurkie trying to scam me... I had to go for an F18A in the end, still dying for a 'standard' RGB console though so this is great news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
