Re: Wii U Gamepad shell reused for Pi

Some other people were trying to get it working, not sure how far they got. I see a lot of people using phone lcd's with custom controller boards.

Re: Wii U Gamepad shell reused for Pi

Well, I broke the touchscreen glass. which is fine because it was useless since it only worked on Raspbian. Im gonna have to find a usb touchscreen that fits the screen dimensions, or just put a sheet of plexiglass on it and not have touchscreen. I bondo'd the new buttons on and its ready to install...

plastic weld

I plastic welded the dpad and buttons off, and sanded the bezel off. Its tested working after I sanded it.

I just added a layer of bondo to the cracks. (they formed from the two different types of plastics being melted together)

Stay tuned for more.

Re: Wii U "gamepad" as case

Got the screen and got it all chopped up and fitted. I still need to figure out if i can safely trim the bezel. The touchscreen layer sits over a bit of the bezel so I'm afraid of hurting it (anyone got a clue whether its needed or not?) Anyway, pics. 12659848_10204076467351041_311267122_n.jpg 12650...

Re: Wii U "gamepad" as case

IMG_0522.JPG Here's my concept of how I want to rearrange everything, I also got the measurements right so the screen fits correctly in the case. I'm using the BacMan tutorials for quick references on relocating pieces. http://bacman.co.uk/general-modding/ Still waiting on the screen to come in, ba...

Trimming the bezel on the 7 inch

So I previously posted a Wii U case project I'm going to start. I watched this one video where he suggested trimming the bezel was possible, I wanted to know if this was done yet and if theres a tutorial (or recommended method of trimming) I'm already kinda pushing my limits for size limitations so ...

Wii U Gamepad shell reused for Pi

So this is my project where I'm sticking a RPI2B1.1 into a heavily modified Wii U Gamepad shell. It will mostly be a streamer, but will also have a few emulators on it for the couple of games I have. I plan on making it so I can still access the GPIO pins (the ones that remain after the project is ...

Reverse Controller

I plan on creating something I have yet to see any development on. A reverse controller (a name I've decided to give it) It would act just like this device http://controllermax.com/products/cronusmax/ except instead of interfacing between multiple devices to reach the RPI, it would connect directly ...
