MiSTer FPGA system
1. Terasic DE10 Nano FPGA Board
2. Mean Well power supply RS-25-5 - 5A universal voltage PSU module
3. MiSTer Analog 6.1 Board with Noctua fan
(One of the better quality ones. you can plug in an optical audio jack because the builder wasn't stupid and didn't use a large-sized LED!)
4. SD-RAM XS-DS v3 128M - tests indefinitely at 144MHz no errors.
5. Raspberry Pi keyboard/hub
6. Front panel keys (my design)
7. Mini-ITX case with 3D-printed panels and headeer cables to bring all connections to the panel
8. 32GB SanDisk memory card
This is one of a kind, put together by me. I wanted to make a system that could load arcade games and just plug a joystick in the front without having to get a keyboard and mouse out of the cupboard. Something without wires sticking out of it in all directions like the usual stack has, standard power cable. Spouse Acceptance Factor, as they say.
Sorry but there is NO SHIPPING TO THE USA - I am not dealing with the new requirements for prepayment of customs duty. If you are in the USA and you can arrange someone to show up and collect this system from me, no problem.
For Australia I will do free shipping. If you are in Canada and can wait until mid-October I can bring this when I return to Toronto. For Europe I'm going to take a guess at 40EUR.
Priced at 250EUR.
From left to right on the front panel the keys are:
ESC UP ENTER (red) (green) (amber)
LEFT DOWN RIGHT RESET USER OSD
ESC, UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, ENTER are the same as the keys on a keyboard if you plug one in via a USB port. With these keys you can navigate around the MiSTer menus, load arcade games etc - makes it much more convenient. RESET, USER and OSD are the same as the buttons on the MiSTer analog board. The (red), (green), (amber) LEDs come out to the front panel LEDs also, so you have all the control.
This was done by taking a Raspberry Pi keyboard and shelling it, then using the PCB with its built-in USB ports as a 3-port hub. Then I made a PCB with Cherry MX switch patterns for the keys listed above and connected them to the right places on the Raspberry Pi PCB.
All this is put together in a Mini-ITX case with 3D-printed plates for the base & rear and the front to make it look professional. I like how this came together.
Since finishing the build I haven't done a huge amount with it, mainly played Mr. Do! and Gun.Smoke, and just now I loaded up the minimig core. TBH I like building these things more than playing with them.
