Tut: Modded N52te, 2016 Edition

[ScopeLoc]

OK thank you. I will get started on it. Nice job on the design.

Together and working. Nice design it fit in perfect and is much steadier than before. I Thank you for work.

I wanted to say once again thanks for your time making the files for this. I had done the old mod which worked but the buttons felt mushy at times. Now it is perfect and I think it already increased my abilities in COD "wall running jumping that kind of stuff.
Now to start my second unit so I can have 2.

Hi i was wondering how the teensy board worked out, and if you are going to post the files for it?

Also curious about this. I just picked up an N52te and would love to add an analog stick in place of the current dpad.

Oh, I had to edit the files and it took some time to get the new 3d printed parts. So when I got those, ended up not writing a continuation. I will post the 3d model files at one point when I find all.

That'd be great, we'd really appreciate it.

(Mainly the joystick mod! )

i hadnt finished my response part, and people seemed to want a tut, so i posted what i had, if you had read the bottom of my post you would have known that.

Amazing mod. I still have mine with wire mod and epoxy. I might redo the mod with proper pcb some day..
It would be awesome if the PCB had hot swap sockets.

Hello everyone, I know this is an older post but being you guys are better at this than I am, I have a question. do any of you know where I could get the top plate milled or cut in stainless or aluminum? I am going to use a teensy to wire it and want to have it be sturdy. Any help would be nice.

Does anyone have the gerber files for the PCB? I've got the .brd file from the OSHPark link, but need gerbers to get it made elsewhere.

Sorry feller. Just poking around online it seems like there might be some conversion tools, but they seem iffy.

It’s ok, I managed to get a version of Eagle installed and have generated gerber files; the PCB fab house accepted them, when I get the boards I’ll let you know if they worked ok!

Also ordering the 3D printed parts; the upper frame is fine, but the lower part I don’t think is going to turn out that great as I had to make all the cutouts into through holes to eliminate all the <0.8mm bits they reckoned they couldn’t print. I think it’s gonna be rather flimsy. Just getting them printed cheaply in resin for now, once I’ve got them, if I think it needs tweaking I might get them reprinted in polyamide.

I think the lower part needs to be thicker but without parts in hand I don’t know if that can work, so need the cheap prototypes before I commit to a more expensive print.

good news on the gerbers.

and you know... you could just buy yourself a 3D printer. $200-ish gets something really quite decent these days.
