Overview
Parts used
- 50 RGB LEDs, common anode
- USB<->MIDI Cable
- 8 Arcade Switches white/clear
- 8 potentiometers 10k, mono, linear, no raster
- TLC5940 LED driver
- SNES
- Arduino Mega
- Plexiglas
Most of the stuff was already there. I just had to order the bold marked things.
Milestones
1. sending MIDI
My first goal was sending MIDI data to the PC. MIDI is a pretty basic serial protocol transmitting data with 31250 baud. For testing purposes i send data at 9600 baud via the arduinos serial interface to a software called Hairless MIDI. This will be changed in the future.
2. preparing the case
All of the inner parts of the Super Nintendo have been removed. This includes the controller ports, the main PCB, the top dark-grey panel and also some plastic struts. The (still working) parts will be put into a new fancy case to give this classic console a new life.
3. cutting the faceplate
The faceplate was laser-cut. Until now i have built three iterations of this part.
- Wood - Buttons were too close together and had only 24mm holes.
- Wood - Buttons and pots fit great
- Plexiglas (latest) - same as above but shiny, see-through acrylic glas
i knew it was a great idea to order that casemodding window kit back in 2003.
