Mister FPGA
refugee camp edition
we dont have any of the handhelds
Mister expansion board powerbutton depressing fix
For kids who cant afford heroin (or a €400 soldering kit)
we now dare say with 98% certainty (to normal people thats 99,99 i suppose b/c to us 99 is a 100 to normal people b/c the only certainty in life is death, the rest is 99% at most)
that the power button attached to the expansion board depressed itself after it grew its own will (E'eryone wants to be chatGPT these days ...) but for solderless folk who saved up a year to buy this thing
buying a quick soldering kit (which last time we checked stood at around €300-400 for "a decent one" as mentioned by youtubers who dont break stuff or bring other folk down but solder a lot on video, pcb and small things)
is not really an option, so prepping for the apocalypse
An old clamp and a laundrypin ....
Has the thing running for two hours without glitching ... it aint pretty but until we read up more and vid up more on powerbuttons its gonna have to do
update 2024 03 31 : we just left it like that since we still dont have spare copper for a soldering kit that costs about 2/3rds of the mistercombo on the pics here by itself and we basically have about NULL experience with pcb soldering ... afaik the standard comes without power button or anything (the de-10 w/o expansions) so this clamp gives it a nice refugee-camp avant-garde feeling and mostly : it works ... ( a special kind of art you wont see anywhere unlike the pre-printed look at my nintendo cases hahah)
