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
☑ 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.
☑ 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.
☑ 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.
