Oktober 26th, 2011Wii Harddisc Case
Juli 28th, 2011I am in search for a nice Harddisc Case in white, but I didn’t find any nice looking case…
After this I decided to put a 3,5Zoll Sata Harddisc into a broken Wii.
I am planing to use the original Power Supply and the original USB Connectors.
I opened the wii and removed all until you only have the main PCB inside
I removed to parts (red marked) to disable the USB Wires into the mainboard and connected the USB Cables from the USB/Sata Connector to the onbaord USB Port
The power is taken from the Top Site of the mainbaord. Here I have to remove the original Fuse (red marked) to avoid getting any voltage to the mainboard.
You can get 12V to power up harddisc from the right site of the fuse.
GND is found at the edge of the mainboard.
I placed a standard 7805 voltage regulator to get the 5V for the Harddisc
Here you can see original case of the used USB/Sata Connector
all together
I extended the power Led of the USB/Sata Adapter to the original power LED of the wii
And here you can see the final backsite with connectors
Volume Control for WPC 95 Pins
Juni 24th, 2011For changing the Volume of a pinball you always have to open the coindoor.
And mostly you have the key in the coindoor.
I find a solution to move the switches outsite of the coindoor.
So you can remove the key and it looks better.
I connected the volume + and volume – parallel to the switches inside of the coindoor.
But they don’t work without opening the door.
So I have to put a “coin-open” switch outsite too. Its the green one.
To change the volume you have to press the green once and then you can change the volume via the two red and black switches as usual.
Here the first pics
Video:
you have only to replace the original red plastic with two screws
remove the lamp
,
put in the new one with the wires
connect the three crocodiles to the inside switches
here you can see the replaced coindoor plastic with the new one
Treasure Chest LED Mod for Tales of the Arabian Night
Juni 24th, 2011Here you can see my little treasure Project. It will be realized in a pin like Tales of Arabian Night.
I have put some RGB changing Leds into the chest and some holes into the treasure area.
And I have put some glasfibre into the holes to make the effect more viewable…
Look here some pics and a video

he build in turning PCB is capable to turn the screen via one signal

I handle it via a a conductor and a keyboardencoder. Here I am using the led for SCR to output the signal
This PCB makes the degauss

Here you see the rotating mechanisem from backsite (not much)
Scary Ghost for Scared Stiff
März 28th, 2011I found a ghost and have done a led mod.
This time I tried to hide the leds because a ghost don’t have eyes.
So I have to paint the insite of the eyes black (it looks more scary) and put the LEDs far insite the eyes.
Look here how it appears
I am not sure in which Pin it could fit. I am thinking about Scared Stiff.
First I have to open it
painted the eyes insite black
