So I'll admit I've been terrible about finishing projects. When I started college I told myself that I would put my larger projects on hold till I graduated. Then when I started grad school I did the same. Now most of those projects are sitting in a box collecting dust and I feel really bad that they never got to see their full potential. So I'm now going back and doing these projects justice. I've collected the ashes of the Nintoaster project I barely started before it was canned. It will be reborn into a more useful micro portable (no LCD but AV out) battery powered (with built in remaining capacity meter) NES that I can easily thow in a bag, take anywhere, and hook up to a pico projector for anywhere gaming. Because of this newfound life I will be dubbing this project NES Micro! In this video I show the pcb as it was before I stopped working on it and explain the concept and case design for the NES Micro. I'm really feeling this project so I even went as far as to do a super accurate model of the NES cart to check clearances. In the next video I'll 3D print the parts, start assembly, and design the electronics/firmware for the power and battery meter portions.

I've had the idea to build my own configurable bluetooth controllers into original NES and SNES controllers for ages and with the introduction on the tiny Nintendo classic consoles I thought it would be a good start to make them compatible with the wii style connector and protocol. After all the wired controllers that these consoles come with are ridiculously short! I didn't do it without lots of help though. I've got to hand it to bbtinkerer (original project page here: https://bit.ly/2pt3u3C), thanks a million for handling the difficult part of this project and making the software freely available for me to tinker with. His project allows one to make their own wired classic controller/arcade stick, so all I really did was extend it to take input via a wireless serial HC-05 bluetooth module and design a corresponding controller to read a stock (S)NES controller. This is just the start, I plan on designing tiny boards and wrapping everything up in the next part! I think you guys will like what I have planned for this project ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I've posted a link for Ebay purchase referrals.
