Measure twice, cut once

Yeah my enthusiasm got the better of me!

So I tried out Ian Stedman's latest video cable design (It add's 3x 220uF 10v Caps to the RGB Lines) and the result was quite good, a slight but noticeable improvement in PQ - Less vertical banding and a little less motion artefacts around the mouse when using my GBS-8220.

I even managed to fit it inside the Connector shell!

Not my best soldering work (I've re-used that connector a few time hence the mess) but you can't see it inside the shell so I dont care! :p

Did some more work tonight - I started by making some nice long extension cables for the display which worked great this time around. I still need to trim the ProtoBoards with my dremel (which is why they are shown installed back-to-front) but im really happy with the results:



Temporary Install for testing:


Yay, it works!:


So now All I need to do is wire-up and Install the switches! :cool:

Yep it's been a lot of fun and almost finished now, just need a custom 1.3 rom with the 3.1 scsi.device on it and a cf ide68k to finish it off.


For the next project I may have ordered an a1200 from Petro.

Picked up my 19" LCD today, still cant believe I got it for $20 and it has a superb picture!

I was hoping that it might support 15khz but it doesnt - im not really surprised tho and my GBS-8220 does a decent job of converting the pic so im not complaining. :cool:

[djos]

I finally found some time to trim down the ProtoBoards today - they fit perfectly around the right way now.

I found some time to drill holes for and Install the HxC case mounted buttons today, just need to wire them up now.

Working from Home is awesome as I was able to finish the switches off on my lunch break!

Finished the soldering, just need to test the switches:


Works great 1st time!


Fully installed now with some hot-glue for protection:


Final test, working perfectly! :cool:

Do you have any more photos of the buttons and the block connection?

Deciding how to go about connecting mine or if I even want to.  :-)

I can do better than that!



and the Display cabling is even simpler, just a 1 to 1 mapping of the pins.

Now that is very useful, have been looking everywhere for a layout for the buttons. The LCD part I sussed out but couldn't work out what was needed for the buttons.

Best layout, thanks Djos !!!! :-)
