If that wooden SNES were any cuter, it'd friend-zone me. Kudos.

It says

A switch is a switch, and an LED is an LED, but this LED illuminated button is a lovely combination of both! It's a medium sized button, large enough to press easily but not too big that it gets in the way of your project panel. It has a built in LED that can be controlled separately from the switch action - either to indicate or just to look good.

The body is a black plastic with the LED built inside. There are two contacts for the button and two contacts for the LED, one marked + and one -. The forward voltage of the LED is about 2.2V so connect a 220 to 1000 ohm resistor in series just as you would with any other LED to your 3V or higher power supply.

This particular button has a red body and LED and is latching on/off. The two switch contacts are either connected or disconnected. When you push the button they will switch from one to the other, like an on-off switch. The LED is separated from the button, so you can make it light up when on, light up when off, always lit, etc.


I think it will work but I'm not sure and waiting for anyone that might know to let me know

you should take the power ad reset buttos from a nintendo and wire it for your power button in the case

that might work but idk if the old NES light was led then? I would have to edit it make it closer together b/c if size dif but I'm sure I can do that eazy enough I think. Also anyone have an idea what the reset button would do?

the inside .... or at least it will be when i'm done with it xD

After seeing a wooden Gameboy and Skylargray design on a NES for the ouya I got the idea to make a wooden NES for my ouya.
Now I don't know to much about dangers or things to watch out for so if you guys could give me a few pointers I would appreciate it
this is what I have so far its still in the rough stage.

 

as you can see its raised about 1/8'' and I'm sure I need to put some vent holes somewhere else but where would be the best place any ideas?
I also plan to wire a red led where the light would be and wire in a power button and some usb where the controlers would be
any ideas where to get these parts ?

Would there be a way where you could make a case for me if I pay you?

depends on what u would want and this is my very first mod i dont claim to know all of what im doing xD i started to add a usb hub to this and had it going the power part was fine but i could get it to read my data from my hhd not even in the orignal usb not until i cut the wires off did it start working again do that sucks
and now i have 2 holes in front for usbs and no working usb hub atm xD

i think ill try again cause when i got it (before i cut it up ) i tested it with a usb keyboard and wouldnt work so it might have been messed up anyways

[jimlab7]

Ok After 2 usb hubs that wouldn"t work with the ouya i found one at Biglots of all places i had to add wire to them and take a usb off (it had a light on it) this is what I've came up with.



and this is how the usbs sit it the front



also as u can see I've changed the fan and will be using the stock one in the corner to push air
out I will solder it to the ouya thanks to Skylars show how

and will still need to get the power button til next update
