NEAT! is the USB board connected by soldering from the bottom? why?

Wow that is very pretty, impressed!
(Have you got a picture of how you the connections go on the bottom of the USB Hub?)

Currently using an external USB hub. I think I need up upgrade to a USB bottom board, however I will then need a new case

I was hoping to see yours in here terminator2k2, that's got to be the most impressive DIY case I've ever seen. I like that you've soldered to the USB pins, it looks much tidier than using cables inside and every mm of room helps.

I'm undecided what to do with a case at the moment. But I did take apart an old'ish SSD I have to see just how big the internals were - lots of space saving to be had if you do that

Enjoying seeing all the case options. This is what we’re currently using:

@terminator2k2 This box is very amazing.

Mine is from UltimateMister and uses the official case:


I like the internal connection that doesn't require additional cables for the USB board.

I really like this, well done here.

Love the metal case, might have to look into getting one

cheers all for the comments...

Ive had a few questions on how to wire the leds/buttons to the i/o PCB :


@crystal - all connections on the USB hub are soldered underneath for neatness as using the usb plugs it was getting really tight, this way i can even fit a usb HDD in there once i require the room.

@taw6 - i dont have any pics of the underneath, but its just a bunch of wires soldered to the usb/power headers

@mmmonkey and trazome thanks for the comments, i did take a pic using the usb connectors, it was starting to get crazy tight in there, plus i didnt like the usb cables being bent nearly 90 degrees

https://misterfpga.co.uk recently posted this custom ordered usb hub https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XeOlTHVNh/

looks like something that might be slightly better for setup like this

Yeah, the official case is very nice - very clever use of PCBs to an alternative purpose.

@terminator2k2
What size JST connectors are those?

@darksakul

jst-XH2.54

Edit: Just saw your reply, very cool.

I am so confused, how is that USB 2.1 being powered? I don't see it connected to anything?

@terminator2k2

Some more info about the led buttons you used and the wiring of them would be greatly appreciated. I am currently in the process of installing my Mister into an Arcade 1up cabinet. I plan to add the user interface buttons to the front of the cab. I assume you used the 5v versions. They come in a few types as well ( momentary/latching etc). Any extra info would be helpful. Your case is one of the nicest I have seen. Thanks.

I have a USB to PS/2 adapter so that I can use my old Microsoft ball mouse for Atari ST

The case is an acrylic case from zerohimself. I love the look of it so much. In person, it looks as if it's glow in the dark. Obviously I had to get a nightmode shot in there!

I have the official case as well but do use the external cable to jump power to the USB module. How does it connect up internally? I'm sure something could be rigged to accomplish it in mine as well. Thanks!

That's my guy!

This is my latest print. The files are available on Thingiverse. It's a combination of Porkchop Express's (MisterAddons) "V2" top, and an extended bottom so it contains the complete stack in one box.

You mean internal splitter? Yes, we use the Power Y pin to bridge inside. One cable will make the job.

Care to update you posts with some more pictures of the inside? Would be much appreciated. Have an old SNES case i like to use for Mister as well, but hooking stuff up to IO board scares me a bit

In a week I open the stock again.

Here's mine.
