I was hoping to have it done, but life got in the way. We'll all I need to do is get the back and the top done. The top is going to take a bit more planning as I have to design a cartridge rail system i think to keep the cart lined up while being inserted. Hoping to have the case done by end of next weekend. For everyone wanting to know, I have designed, and 3D printed various supports that you can see in the photos to tie all sides of the case together. I still have a few to make. I have designed the case large enough to be able to fit the power supply as well as using one of my PCB adapters I designed for this that allows one to plug in say a speech synthesizer or other side card peripheral directly on the motherb boards IO header. I have already tested it with a speech and TIPI 32K combo being used. Using external power for the TIPI of course. I have also designed grom port extender that I will be using that will bring the cartridge port up an additional 20mm or so. The outside of the case is made 100% of black cast acrylic, which is great for laser cutting and engraving as you can see. The acrylic is not cheap, but it works great, and it is plenty thick enough. This particular acrylic is a bit over 3mm thick. Here are a few photos. Did not take a photo of the right side as there is nothing there to see besides the side, no ports, etc.. Inside: Chris, on the power supply wiring here, where did you get the plugs that plug into the mean well supply? Do you have part numbers for all of them? I'm ready to run my first tests on these two boards and need to wire them up. The Datasheet for the Mean well states that the AC input is a JST B3P-VH or equivalent, the DC output is JST B8P-VH. Did you get a kit and crimper from a special source?

RickyDean Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 @stevee671 where do we get the firmware for the atmel chip on the keyboard.

The DIY method does limit you to light colored keycaps though, unless somebody has a printer that does white ink. Although, in theory, you could spraypaint the front of the keycap white, and then print a mask in black-on-translucent. That might work. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/371458-ti-9922-project/page/11/#findComment-5566853 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift838 Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 I received my PCB order from the fabricator today. In it there is the new V2 of the Unicorn board (still needs to be tested), the new 99/22 IO Port expansion boards, one has 5 additional female card edge connectors to expand J12 and the other board only has 4 + 1 male 44 pin card edge for things like the Speech synth to plug onto. These also need to be built and tested.. 6 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/371458-ti-9922-project/page/11/#findComment-5567826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
