I've released a quick little LiPo battery mod for the Nintendo DSi
Quality cells have gotten harder to obtain, especially in Europe, this uses a 602550 LiPo cell instead.

An updated look at the iQube with some @machonachomedia.bsky.social flair. Barring any major fitment issues this is how the final version will look.

This is what the final remote should look like, the buttons will be domes that sit over the physical switches

This is what the "release" PCB will most likely look like, the firmware is functional, but needs some work in regards to power consumption, i'm working on designing a housing too
Also, please consider supporting me on ko-fi, prototyping is expensive <3

Shank is a great storyteller, and the video he made chronicling the whole ordeal is truly something special
Even if you have no interest in CRTs, it’s worth a watch!

New video. This one has been in the works for over 2 years. I think this is the best story I will ever tell on my YouTube channel.
