FAME BOY - build log 2 - Hack Like Heck

*still hoping this is the right place for build logs, cheers

 

Much buttons - such board

 

I'm done with the boards for the buttons! that's the most sloppiest board I've ever "designed". My main focus was on getting the dimensions for everything right. Hopefully every plastic nibble has the corresponding drill hole. The angles should be right. The shoulder button might be on the wrong side of the board, but maybe it's just right for the biggest lever I could achieve with the buttons. Boards are ordered from aisler.net, a German oshpark.com "strive to be", hopefully the boards will get here within the next week. Designed with EAGLE, because there was no time to learn to do that in KiCad (I notice a theme here).

 

I hope I get this project done before my sister arrives, she will visit our home town right days before the end of this contest, so I need to steal some time before that. Now it's back to waiting for the results and further designing on that case design. From there it should be mostly soldering and programming that I can do from anywhere.

 

Thank you for reading this short log! I hope the naming choice is quite obvious by now - I started with my LAME BOY that had a lower resolution than the GAME BOY, so it's lame. The FAME BOY purely exists to become famous like Ben Heck - a vanity project to gain subscribers image Well I wouldn't have started something like it at least and this contest is about becoming a paid youtuber somewhat. Not so many choices with naming to come after that.

 

here's the git I've started for the project, currently only the boards are inside https://github.com/davedarko/FAMEBOY
