Only six left. Remember, this may be your last chance to own a Gilberti Industries ArduinoBoy.
Strike that: only one left.

Re: Problem w/ regular bleepbloop, missing component, no saving!? [SOLVED] (11 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I've seen this two or three times before. For some reason, that particular resistor likes to snap off. It isn't particularly special, just a 10k surface mount resistor. Can't tell you the size from the picture, unfortunately, so I can't tell you which form factor resistor you will need to replace it.

I'll admit, that is a lot more challenging than the cover of "Keep it Dark" I was thinking of suggesting.

Will you accept requests for covers, or are covers not challenging enough for you?

Re: DMG Motherboard Development (82 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I would like to throw in my support for the use of EAGLE on this project. Since a freeware version exists it allows anyone to make modifications as they see fit, it works on all three major computing platforms, and so long as you are doing small projects, the Freeware/Light version is more than adequate for getting the job done (plus a Light license, which allows the software to be used for commercial gain, is a very reasonable $50). Of course, I'm somewhat biased because no Mac version of Altium exists and thus I cannot try it out and give you my impression. You've already gotten this far with EAGLE. Switch horses now and you will have to rebuild the whole schematic/board, plus more than a few custom parts.

Re: Arduinoboy VS. LSDJMC2 (41 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I've built more than my fair share of ArduinoBoys.
A standard ArduinoBoy has 5 modes: LSDJ Master mode (LSDJ sends MIDI clock signal to synchronize additional instruments), LSDJ Slave mode (LSDJ receives external clock), LSDJ Keyboard mode (lets you use a full size musical keyboard as opposed to a hacked up PS/2 keyboard), Nanoloop Slave mode (Nanoloop receives external clock), and mGB mode (use the GameBoy as a synthesizer with full MIDI control, exclusive to the ArduinoBoy platform).

Actually, that's what my comment about Jose and blackmailing was about. At least two people have made FPGA implementations of the Gameboy CPU. Then at some point, Jose got his "ultimate handheld" idea, which would among other things contain a real DMG CPU and a FPGA emulation of a DMG. So he turned to the creator of "FPGABoy", costis, and tried to make a deal. But as it also turned out, Jose had registered FPGABoy.com, which used to belong to costis, but expired, and used that as a bait to make him sell his design to him. Costis refused and never got his domain back. He also got cold feet and decided not to release FPGABoy as open source, which was his original long-term goal. So yeah...
Makes me wish I didn't have to deal with that other site. Problem is there are still more people there to sell to than here. But that is neither here nor there. Perhaps I'll do some work of my own after I get these ArduinoBoys sold.

Topic: FS: Last Call for ArduinoBoys (40 replies, posted in Trading Post)
NOTE: new thread as the last one was becoming somewhat long. Didn't want people feeling obligated to go through 7 pages of discussion to get to the good stuff.
I'm using this long weekend to get caught up on some things I've been meaning to do for a while, specifically finishing up the 15 ArduinoBoys I had lying around. These will be the last ArduinoBoys I will be making for a while. Last semester I didn't do so well in one of my classes, and I'd like to focus my energies on retaking this particular course. Once these 15 are gone, they are gone. I will not be making anymore until January or later depending on my course load.
The ArduinoBoys are not yet ready for sale. I only have 6 of them ready at the moment, and as you all know by now, I do not make sales with nonexistent units. You will be able to purchase them from my new website within the next couple days, possibly tomorrow, assuming all goes as planned. This post is just to let you know and prepare. Prices will remain the same as before: $52 for domestic orders, $61 for 6 to 10 day international, and $75 for 5 day international.

I know that I'm bumping an old thread here, but I just fixed the one that I had. I did so extremely sloppily. Melted wire, the works. Works great, just doesn't look so if you open it up.
The reason isn't because I'm poor at soldering or do a sloppy job. I'm usually nice and clean with my work. The reason is that this is a GREATLY made product. It's extremely tight in there and hard to get into to, and I must admit that I kind of feel bad for making an aesthetic mess out of what was honestly a beautifully well-done product. Great job.
Thank you! This has been one of my more enjoyable projects as of late, and I am extremely glad that a number of people found them useful and of professional quality.

In addition to being a Python nut, I am also a fan of Sam & Max: Freelance Police, NPR's Car Talk and Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, electronics work (it's not just a job, it's a passion), making things with my own bare hands, rifle and handgun shooting (shotgun when I feel like it), cycling rather than driving, video games, music, and college marching band.

Not to say that you will be victim of the same scam, but do keep in mind that there are less than scrupulous people out there who will sell you ICs and ship you fishing weights.
