I forgot to post on this side, but the new chip I'm moving to finally launched samples, and I have a new prototype board waiting for them to be delivered next week.

Always love to see the final panels for these projects. #WavePhoenix adapters will start shipping soon, just need to assemble and QC test

I love the idea of the Switch 2's joy-cons having a mouse mode but it's really uncomfortable. I'm working on a solution for that. Gotta get ready for Metroid Prime 4 😅

Round 1 units are ready to order, we will likely sell out fast. I already started production of Round 2 so a pre-order window will begin as soon as we run out of Round 1 stock.

Not really any formal materials, the kit should have 4 screws that attach the brackets to the switch, then you would use drywall anchors to attach screws to the brackets and the wall, or if attaching to a cabinet or other solid object you can screw directly to that. Or zip tie to a metal shelving.

I'm working with Noctua at the moment on ordering more during the pause, but with deminimus gone the price will probably be unreasonable in the quantities I normally order. They will get hit with 25% + 30% and potentially more tariffs not sure what the full breakdown is.

I'll have to reach out directly, I can definitely get them in 100pcs or more.

I am worried I didn't get enough made for this launch, I ordered all the MCU boards from 2 different suppliers, and it will be another week before one gets more stock.

I am looking at the slightly larger module as a replacement, which comes with the bonus of being FCC certified.

Yes, I need to finish it out today.

They are so little, looking at Monday 10am CST as the launch for round 1, not a pre-order we will have them in stock and begin shipping when we return from Memorial Day holiday.

I customized mine to be slightly smaller for a custom shell

It's so little, definitely pushing my soldering skills lol

We have life on the #wavephoenix Wavebird adapter. Gonna start printing a shell and start the tedious task of crimping the wires for the adapters.

Turns out the day still had more goodies in store. My RetroTINK 4k DB15 to S-Video(Enhanced) and CVBS Adapter from @collingall.bsky.social arrived. I can confirm the fabled gummy bears are delicious. Now let's try some enchanced s-video. 🧵👇

This Opentendo build for @choppedup4lyfe.bsky.social is FIRE HOT! It's using Merlin Shaw's power module and both PCBs have a gorgeous red silkscreen that matches with a RGR red transparent shell!
To top it off, I installed a Hi Def NES with @collingall.bsky.social no-cut HDMI port on the bottom!

Thanks @collingall.bsky.social for his great flippydrive SD extension... And the candies 😉
