 		[OT] TRON Wii - custom game system mod
In honor of "TRON: Uprising" I'd like to present my latest project... the TRON Wii!

I've been working on this off & on for about 6 months (I don't have much free time) and when I heard the premier date for Uprising was in June I accelerated my plans to get this together for the launch day.

The system features a custom light pattern on top of the Wii (which can be turned off or on via a switch at the rear of the unit), TRON Wii remotes in both blue (the standard, off the shelf color) and white (custom), Wii remote motion-plus accessory with custom Sam Flynn inspired data chip, TRON Wii nunchucks (featuring white or blue lights & matching straps), and a custom warrenty sticker.

Comments?

 		Thanks for the compliments. Very Happy

It seems so simple on the surface, but all that wiring and the clearances were the issue. In some areas I had less than 1.5mm to work in and soldering surface mount components by hand in such tight areas is a PITA.

I know what you mean. When I did my identity disc upgrade it seemed easy. replace the lights, batteries, & wiring. Once I ripped everything out, i pulled out the dremel tool and went to town modifying the actual disc. When I got done my hands, eyes, & brain were tired a sore. I looked at the clock; I had been at it for 6 hours straight. And that was just the dremel tool. the spacing & electronics were the hard part!

Plus I had instructions! Huge kudos man!

 		Thanks for the kind words.

I have a few other TRON projects in the pipeline... but we're in crunch mode at work plus I'm likely moving soon so I doubt I'll have anything done before another 4 to 6 months. Sad
