people CWing their shitting-in-a-hashtag as "joke" or "shitpost" are cowards. cowards

finally got one of those xbox controllers every game on steam says it's compatible with

astonishing how something so promising goes south so quickly

pressing slightly on the corner where the broken solder joint was vs letting go of it. it's clearly a break there, but i've already reflowed all of the pins that go to the sensor... well, at least it's clearly working, i just have to fix a trace somewhere

unfortunately something is still affecting the quality... i know the eyemodule isn't brilliant, but you saw how the test pattern looked when it worked right

holy mother of bodge.

it's not the same footprint but it is the same pitch... if i can keep all legs straight and not bridge any of them it might work...

well.. at least all the pads seem intact. reusing the broken connector was a bust, now this won't be usable until i source a new one...

however, i do know that the sensor is still working because before i tried to put it back together and broke the springboard connector, i did manage to snap these pictures. there was still a bad connection somewhere and wiggling the camera daughterboard made it do some weird stuff, like the second picture where it went upside-down and contrasted

well shit. trying to put it back together bent and broke the pins in the connector that goes to the springboard port.

i tried bridging the gaps since i don't have a replacement but it just turned into a horror show...

ah.

oh.

hm

HA! contact cleaner to the rescue!

the corrosion was probably causing some conductivity around where there shouldn't be

there was nothing wrong with eyemodtool after all

inside the first gen eyemodule. i was not expecting the sensor to be on a removable header!

oh oof that corrosion

oh, yeah, jeez. didn't think to compare with the generated b/w copy (used for displaying in the visor), it has the same waffle effect. i think the sensor itself is damaged, then. bummer

for comparison, a picture i took with the first version of eyemodtool that supported the first eyemodule's color pictures (eyemodule2 just spits out straight jpeg)

it looks about right so something was being done right but i'm wondering if it's just off enough that more extreme colors would've always been broken with my converter

sadly i never actually used the eyemodule much to compare

the first shot was taken with a visor deluxe on the cartridge version of the eyemodule software, this one on a neo with the updated version of the software (the cartridge version does not support the neo), and it looks about the same, so it's not a version issue

either i'm doing something wrong on conversion or my eyemodule has gotten damaged somehow

is this bayer interlaced somehow
