What kind of paper did u use to etch with i just starting learning about engraving.
alright you've heard my comment before but, nice frekin wii man, especially the lcd and graphics i got a question tho, where did you get that thing to light up you leds? can you send me a guide or something, ive tried just using wires and it didnt work, i always saw ppl using a plug or something, also do you have any extra clear cases? ill be willing to buy them
Robin I r sorrieez.
There is a sword of the berserk game on dreamcast.
how did u supply power for your LEDS? is it points on the mobo? wut is the limit of leds it can hold for 3mm and 0603 led?
could i just connect 0603 leds directly to the red and black wire ( + - ) with the resistor? would it stay on when the wii is turned on only or is it always on even with the wii off? what is the usb one for?
sorry if im a noob at it. i just started with modding wii. so far i got a xcm chameleon II case. i also got the pulsevu2 chip and want to install it just too the xcm led lights. would u know how to hook it up so that like just the blue leds on the case is sound reactive?
Can you show me these links please have you made one?
hello hazer. well i tried powering up 1 led from the power supply, i know i know, im dumb it blew up the led and shut off my wii for a few moments.
Interesting story for this next part. When I went searching for a clear case, I found one on Ebay for $20. It was a Hong Kong seller. I waited 6 weeks before emailing that the case never came. So after thinking I got ripped off, I went and found a US supplier for the XCM ii-chameleon. As it was, the case I ordered did not come with extra hardware or the base and I was going to have to shell out some cash for those pieces anyways so I ordered the CM case.They both arrived the same damn day..... Ah well. It turned out to be a good thing though. The Hong Kong case was crystal clear. The XCM case is slightly clouded, and they did it on purpose. They include LEDs and a DVD drive heatsink with a hole in it. I had fully planned to dremmel out a hole from the original heatsink and paint it, but this was just as well. They clouded case so that the lighting would show up better, but I dont need it. I preffered the crystal clear case. I only want the lighting to glow on the edges and the etches. I did find a good Berserk monotone image that would work great for the round hole in the heatsink. This time, it will be harder to keep in the lines. The face of Gatts is of particular intrest. I did a test run on that same piece of scrap before going at the case itself. What I found was that for the face, I could etch the image in deeper around the nose and eye it it started to make a 3D effect. And now to do the front LEDs: My first real mistake. I tried using superglue to fill in the spaces left behind by the LEDs in order to reduce the occurance of bubbles in the vinyl. Some ran down into the etched area and I had to spend 2 hours using plexiglass scratch remover and polisher to remove it. You can see it just to the right of the face:And now some test lighting and skin application: The more I get done, the more I like how this turns out. There are three different effects on this. When the Wii is off, the case looks nice with the Red Chrome finish. When the Wii is turned on, the edge-lighting high-lights the red chrome during daylight. And in the dark, the lighting is pretty decent on its own.
Does this mean that you sanded the LED all the way down to about 2.5 mm? I see.
