Hey guys i got this mod i been working on for like 3 weeks i had issues with the solid not coming up. This isnt my slim its one of my customers. Heres some pics and video. Tell me what you think.

This is the the diagram of this and its proven to work i had to edit several times cuz of the solid.

Now pics of the psp.

The pic with the purple was done PS cuz my camera wont catch the purple light for some reason it always came out blue some with the pixels i i guess but taht is the pic of the lights when there purple except it came blue and i edit it as purple in PS.

Heres the video.

Looks great man.

I was wondering where this PSP went off to.

Magnet wire seemed to work quite well for you. How do you go about stripping the enamel coating off of it? I've read you just use the heat from the soldering iron. Is that right?

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #4 on:** April 17, 2009, 08:16:11 PM »

thanks, it went off to one of my customers from youtube. yea you first dup lil flux on the tip of the wire and use a blob of solder to melt the enamel off. its not hard at all.

EliteGamer83 · « **Reply #5 on:** April 17, 2009, 09:21:14 PM »

dude thats really nice! I'd buy it.

I NEED to know where you got those light blue LEDs, I need some of that exact color!

Yeah home made FTW

I use acrylic for any home made jewel, and I gotta say you're lucky you got something of a drill press.

Cutting everything with a dremmel by hand is a pain.

well i used to do it with a knife and that till i got my dremel station but its still kinda home made cuz the machine is doing half and ur guiding it instead having the machine do it all by its self.

Well first off, for the tenth time, very nice job. But I have a few Q's if you got a sec. Did you say that was the dremel drill press add on? Cause i have a dremel and if thats what you used, looks like a good investment. Also I heard magnet wire wasn't a good idea did you have any probs with it. What gauge did you use cause it looked so small? Did you use something different for the ground and power? Sorry for all the questions, just always lookin for a quicker, smarter, better way to do things. Thanks,

Yeah I do think he had a dremel drill-press add on. Magnet wire is supposedly easier to short and stuff, but it seems to work for him. For the magnet wire gauge, looks about 30. And for the ground and power, I'm not sure.

Ok yes that is a dremel press you can get this at home depot or lowes under 50 bucks works very well in drilling stuff and easier to sand as well since you can use both your hands to hold the object. The wire isnt 30 gauge it is 38 gauge its really really small but it works fine for me but i would suggest if you havent had much experience to go with 30 gauge as a start. Also i may have pointed this out below before about how to remove the enamel from the magnetic wire ill say it again. You simple dip or scrap lil piece of flux place it on the tip if the wire and take a blob of solder and simple let the tip of the wire sit in the blob it will smoke some from the fluz and youll start to see a dark liguid appear in your blob of solder. Thats the enamel being removed from the wire so pretty much have tined that wire and its ready to solder on. For the ground i used the wifi switch and the power i used the 5v point on the mobo for both sound reactive and solid. The digram below should help you out.

Thank you all very much for the answers. The only thing is when I asked about the power and ground I ment what kind of wire did you use because I was told that if you have more than 4 leds in parrallel that you should use at least 26 awg to handle the current. But thanks again everyone.

Nah you can handle up to like 10 + 0603's with 30 AWG kynar wire which is what I use.

Hey, thats really nice:)

Anyway, how did you etch the PSP logo on the back. I currently have SR triggers and once school gets out i was gonna crack it open again and install the LEDs for my half complete RoL (have the clear ring, but no LEDs). So, I figure if i'm gonna open it up anyway, i might as well do something neat like that

I used a very thin drill bit with my dremel station the size i dnt remember ill take a guess at .022 some where around there.

nice diagram
What switches did you use?
send me a link

The diagram was edited by me but not created so you know.
For the switch heres the link http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8769.
Now for that switch be very careful when gluing it down. The glue intends to make its way inside the switch and wont move at all. So keep that in mind.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #38 on:** June 07, 2009, 09:21:39 PM »

No not really your using 2n2222 NPN transistor Im using LM386 and this is done on a slim not a phat. Witch was much harder. Your diagram is way different then the diagram I used so i didnt copy. Also where are the pics of your psp did you even attempted this.

adib240 · « **Reply #39 on:** June 19, 2009, 11:54:22 AM »

You did a Lm386 on a slim? I thought that it wasn't really sound reactive with Lm386 on a slim. How did you make it so reactive? Was it the wire?

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #40 on:** June 20, 2009, 09:57:20 AM »

Dude the LM386 gives sound boost to the speakers but also reaction to the leds. The boost power for the speakers is also connecting to the leds give them a reaction as well as the speakers get there high volume reaction.

adib240 · « **Reply #41 on:** June 20, 2009, 01:13:26 PM »

So would you recommend using the Lm386 or the 2n222 transistor?

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #42 on:** June 20, 2009, 03:37:41 PM »

Well i think each one does the same purpose but i dnt know much about the 2n222 transistor it does something that im not sure about. I think its smaller and has more point for leds to connect not totally positive unless you know already.. But i know its more expensive the LM386. But for me im more confertable with the LM386 just what ever suits is what youll use.

adib240 · « **Reply #43 on:** June 20, 2009, 08:08:36 PM »

Ok i think i will stick with the Lm386 because this will be my first time modding. The reason I thought that the Lm 386 was not really reactive was because I saw this video of Bustinthejustin's psp.
Bustinthejustin's PSP Slim
He used a Lm386 in a slim. Why is it that his is not very reactive and your very reactive?
Is it the song choice?

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #44 on:** June 20, 2009, 08:44:59 PM »

Hmm that is odd. I wonder what he did or how he set his up. Like is see i tiny bit of sound reactive but not enough to call it that. Should ask him how he did his then i may be able to figure out why its not doing that.

It's just an opinion, but i always found the transistor mod was better for slims than the Lm386. they do work but you have to play around with the two resistors to get it working correctly. with the transistor, there is less wire/soldering and requires less power to run. very easy to setup too.

wow! that's awesome. i want to do this in my psp. i have a question with your diagram on the "appropriate resistor for the leds", what resistor should i use if i have a total of 24 leds (12 blue and 12 purple)?

or maybe someone can teach me how to calculate the appropriate leds and find the correct resistance. thanks.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #51 on:** December 20, 2009, 11:09:52 PM »

Now are you asking if you had all 24 lighting up or you mean switching between those colors. Because if you want to have a switch to change between blue and purple for 12 leds youll need 10ohm resistor and to have them all lighting up 24 leds youll need 4.7ohm resistor. Your voltage source will be the 5v point.

oh i mean switching between those colors. thanks.

i have questions for you. first, i own a phat one and i understand that i will be needing a solid 5v point for lm386 and a 5v source for the solid leds. my question is where can i have another 5v source so that i can connect for the solid state led?
i found this diagram:

(credits to the owner)

or can i do this:

5v from lm386 and 5v needed for the solid, connected in one 5v from the motherboard.

second question is ill be adding more leds in this mod so a total of 14 blue & 14 purple switching between these colors, can i still use the 10ohm resistor? or it will be change?

also what kind of wires you use in this mod?

thanks blazinkaos ur the best!

TeaBubblez · « **Reply #53 on:** December 26, 2009, 06:07:27 PM »

i used the same point ._. im preety sure i failed ^-^

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #54 on:** December 27, 2009, 01:02:51 AM »

This is for coy2. Well its simple just like i did on the slim that 5v on the phat is the same voltage your going to use to witch between sound reactive and non sound reactive it works the same way. The diagram that you have presented is indeed how you doing it. Only hard part is organizing hall that wire into a neatly fashion. Now for your second question no your going to need a 8.2ohm resistor because calculating 14 leds of blue and purple both forward voltages is in this range of 3.0-3.5 so i went with 3.0 the lower the longer the leds last without burning out. So using this formula R=(Vs – VL)/I then divide that by how many leds and from there go to the nearest standard resistance. To put into play R=(5-3)/20 this equals 100 then divide that by how many leds gives 7.14 then going to the nearest standard resistance 8.2ohm. Hope that sounds clear.

TeaBubblez · « **Reply #55 on:** December 27, 2009, 06:20:58 AM »

well on the slim the solid 5v point that your lm386 connects to is the one on the far left on the mobo. what about the 5v source in which you get your power for the solid. arent they on the same point because from what i understand there is only one 5v point besides the one on the powerboard.

Thanks for correcting me :p

Yes thats correct there only one 5v point at least that i know of. Well the one on powerboard(slim) witch gives off 4.9v that doesnt work i have tested it. So the one 5v point is your only option it works as long as you do right but everyone makes mistakes and can correct them from a bit of testing.
