One Power Supply to rule them all

Wolfsoft — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 15:00:55 +0000

For testing old Computers you will need a lot of different power supplys with AC and DC Voltage.

I put them together and we got one to rule them all
Meanwell RT-65B and a 9V AC Power Supply

9V /2100mA
5V / 5,0A
12V / 2,8A
-12V /0,5A

So it works @:

Atari 8 Bit Computer like 600XL, 800XL, 1200XL, 800XE, 64XE, 130XE
Atari 8 Bit Computer like Atari 400, 800, Atari 810, Atari 1050
Commodore C64, C16, C64C
Commodore Amiga 500,500Plus, 600,1200
Commodore CD32, Commodore 1541 II
Neo Geo 5V Unit

UWRC Competition Pro

Wolfsoft — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 08:49:41 +0000

I used a Competition Pro USB (bad USB lag) and changed it into a UWRC Controller.

It uses Button, A,B,Select,Start (on the triangle Buttons). With the small black switch you can select the triangle Buttons between Select,Start and Button X,Y.

UWRC Competition Pro Mini

I bought some Competition Pro Mini and most of them have brocken microswitches

I found some replacements here:

It was very tricky to add the Universal TX PCB in this tiny stick but after all it looks great
After removing original parts I add a Led and two more micro switches for Select and Start.

The chrome switch to swap between Layout Select/Start and Button X, Button Y

I must move the electronic of the LiPo to put it between the two fire Buttons

Wolfsoft — Fri, 08 May 2015 05:50:18 +0000

I want a Amiga 600 in a like new state but the common prob is yellowing over the years

Have a look to the yellowed ASDF Row…

After this cleaning in Dish Washer, Brightener for 9 Days + a lot of SUN.

Reassambling, and it looks like new:

Amiga Mouse optical mouse to USB WIP Part#1

Wolfsoft — Tue, 05 May 2015 07:36:12 +0000

My goal is to have a good Amiga Mouse working on every surface and without needing of a mousepad.

The only solution is to make it optical.

After some research I found a mini optical Notebook USB Mouse and tried to rip of the original amiga mouse:

(The black box is a complete PC USB Mouse)

I removed the optical stuff to make room for the optical mouse:

Now its time to open the tiny PC mouse:

pcb only :

For testing I am using some tape to hold the lens in right position. The final version will hold via clue:

The USB Cable Connector is to big. Instead I found some better solder points for direct connect of a cable:

for fitting into original Amiga Mouse you need only to remove this pcb peace:

here you see how it fits. brown and red wire are left and right button signal

brown and red wire to the buttons and a ground wire and some screws to make it hold:

I changed the USB cable to make it look more authentical

openend the original cable holder and placed it to the usb cable

some clue and pressure

and now it looks like a real amiga mouse with cable but its working on PC

and with the help of this little device from Pawel Burdzy http://www.ebay.de/usr/electronika4you

it is working on amiga too

you can order it here
