Amazing mod, pretty simple to imstall

For USB-C Mod for Game Boy Advance SP

I have wanted to do this mod for ages! I finally did it and it looks so amazing! I'd recommend getting the 3d printed adapter to make it look almost as if it came from the factory this way :)

Works well

For USB-C Mod for Game Boy Advance SP

I'm a beginner solderer and this was pretty simple, surprised it worked right away. Slipped the bezel in and its so satisfyingly convenient. Bezel did not ship with the product but I contacted the seller and they made up for it and sent on free of charge!

Works perfectly

For USB-C Mod for Game Boy Advance SP

I got the mod and soldered the 3 points and lo and behold it turns on and it charges. If I could leave a video for the review I would but I wouldn’t be writing a good review if it didn’t work.

Great kit, Easy to install once the board is complete

For USB-C Mod for Game Boy Advance SP

The kit is fun to stick together. After the kit is done, or if you bought the assembled mod it's pretty easy to solder, two big ass ground pads line up the leg to solder. Have a go.

I didn't read

For USB-C Mod for Game Boy Advance SP

The part is fantastic. I didn't read the details so I got the un-assembled parts. This is basically not useful to me because I don't solder, and my buddy who does does not do micro-soldering. He can barely attach the assembled part to the board, so assembling the part is a non-starter. Pay attention when you order!
I communicated with the seller and he was very good at responding quickly with very good explanations. Very respectful. I would purchase from him again, and might... in order to get the assembled part.

I'm sorry to hear that your friend wasn't able to assemble the board. It is quite small and tricky unless you have a fine-tip soldering iron. I have had some luck with adding too much solder, then using solder wick to remove until you reach the right amount.

My offer for a refund (except for shipping costs) still stands if you're willing to mail the DIY Kit back to me! You can put it in a normal stamped mail envelope to ship it cheaply. I hope we can get you unblocked and overall happy with this mod! :)

An Excellent Experience

For USB-C Mod for Game Boy Advance SP

My experience as a buyer was nothing short of great.

After ordering the mod, I received an empty envelope that was likely opened at some stage of shipment. After contacting the seller, I was quickly sent out a replacement part.

Would recommend. Thank you!

I'm so happy your experience has been positive overall! Thanks for giving me a chance to fix things.

I've sadly had to abandon the cheap First-Class Mail shipping option, due to several of these shipments arriving damage and missing parts, like yours. At least this means all new orders will cost a bit more to ship, but should arrive safely on the first try!

I hope your install went well! Enjoy your future-proof GBA SP! ^_^

ESP32 + Pixel Purse LED panel = SmartMatrix compatible!

For ESP32 HUB75 LED Matrix Driver (Kit)

I have Brian Loughs ESP32 => HUB75 boards that let you use PXMatrix on these LED panels and they work great, but PXMatrix has its limitations. This is the first ESP32 HUB75 board that supports SmartMatrix, and I thought that a multiplexer or something similar would have been required.

I can confirm, so far, that the board works find with SmartMatrix ; the example sketches that require SPIFFS (GIF related sketches) need the plugin installed and files uploaded, both spelled out somewhere, but it took me a couple hours to figure out the SPIFFS step.

Great feature of this board is making available some pins, including analog, for anything you want to add. I specifically want to use a microphone to make a spectrum analyzer with a couple of the 16x32 panels for use of spicing up my background during video conferences for work during these Quarantine times
