Great little mod, USB-C has become so ubiquitous and these older devices can live on with this. Bet this can be done to many other devices so long as they charge with 5v. Also good to see old puffy getting replaced, that little bloated guy was probably not a great idea to fly with or stored with your new camera.
You can tell when a youtuber gets a new toy cus they`ll use it in a video ASAP so they can justify its purchase (dont worry, this was just a test of it, wont be a main thing going forward, just wanted to try out the auto track)
Hey Canuck Creator, can you help me because i love my old new 2ds xl and i would realy love to add this mod to him but idk know if this would work, does this work with it?
Thanks for the video, gonna buy some soldering kit to train for now. Really want to do this mod because my 3DS charging port been loosing connection lately, but I'm not sure in my skills for now.
Be VERY careful, as a longtime console modder improper temperature and not using flux are the 2 biggest mistakes. Also if you feel overwhelmed, stop take 5 then judge if you should continue.
@@xai38-809hi, just wondering what temperature should be used (around the charging port if it’s area specific) i don’t believe my solder is temperature controlled, is that going to be a problem (i can try borrow a friends if it is)
Super cool vid! I’ve been wanting to add usb c to all the things- also the Osmo Cam looks phenomenal! Crispy, color, dynamic range are all outstanding 👌
@@CanuckCreator I know, I just stumbled over this a few month back because I couldn't charge my device on USB PD charger at all. You will need a "normal" USB charger for this to work - my phone charger wouldn't work on a trip for example. Just wanted to let you know so you don't notice while you are away :)
The face track is great I believe theres another youtuber "Dwit 3d Canada" also uses face track, IDK how common it is to use that now I dont watch many youutbers.
12:50 is it better to do a cursory power up and charge check before buttoning up? Just to save the plastic your screwing into. No point buttoning up if you get white smoke or having to open again nothing happens…
Hi there! i Followed your tutorial step by step, even used the exact same breakout board that you used. But when i plugged in usb c after everything it didnt work. what can i troubleshoot to get this going?
Try using a generic 5v USB charger and not one of the smarter new ones, as those require extra circuitry so that it gets the right voltage older chargers or "dumb" chargers just give 5v
It can do a few canned motions like rotate, but for this video i was just trying out the face tracking feature, i wish you could tell it to keep your head in a specific portion of thje frame instead of being dead center and allow some movement before tracking, it seems a bit too jumpy atm imo
Broke 2 of my 4-pin ribbon cable connectors because I didn't know what I was doing. Is there a specific reason you have to remove the PCB and solder the wires below the board? Are there risks soldering it to the top?
Can be much easily handled by just buying a cheap charge cable . Risk free. There are also two charge contact metal , you can easily design a charge dock using any usb port type. I made one.
This is sick! Although I’m having a hard time finding the proper usb c board for sale. Also, there are no tutorials on how to do this mod on a regular sized New 3DS, I’m curious if it fits the same?
Wonder if you could break out data to the micro SD slot as well so you could add/remove things from the card without removing it from the device? Either way, really cool project! Might have to give it a shot myself
i believe there’s a homebrew program you can use to wirelessly send/receive files from a computer, haven’t done it myself but saw a video that mentioned it
No sadly. At least not to my knowledge. The configuration in the video only lets you charge, and I don't think you can connect the data pins to anywhere on the 3ds sadly.
Cause it’s more troublesome compared to adding new extra port. Not to mention that there are many TYPE-C ports with multiple pin layouts (some 2, others 4/6, or full)
The points are the same, but the regular 3DS XL doesn't have that convenient space at the back where you can place the breakout board. You'll have to be more creative.
The osmo cam was super nice as a viewer! It followed you pretty damn well, the color was great, dynamic range was good in your setting. I hope that you figure out how to use it for live streams!
Is this one if those breakout boards that have the voltage step down feature? I'll check back in a few months, I expect you will decide to enable data transfer via this USB-C port.
is someone filming you or is this some kind of tracking software? either way, its very disorienting and shaky. don't know if that's just me or not, but yeah....
for engagement purposes only
Making this thing more of your own is surprisingly easy. From home brew, to roms and updating charging ports 🤯 thanks for the help
at first i thought you were going to de-solder the original connector and put the USB on its place, this seems like a good alternative though

@@SunnyCress roughly 250-300c, id spend the extra ~20-30 on some low melt solder and some really good flux. It makes all of the difference.
@@xai38-809 thanks for the tips!!
Super cool vid! I’ve been wanting to add usb c to all the things- also the Osmo Cam looks phenomenal! Crispy, color, dynamic range are all outstanding 👌
That pillow is spicy!!!!
Did the same thing, but I added a Bluetooth module as well. A bit more complicated but still a perfect fit! You should do it too.
What abbility does it give the 3ds
@@dea-animator1906 I guess wireless ear buds or sum
Now if only it were possible to put OLED screens in this.
Nice! But keep in mind that USB-C PD (USB-C to USB-C) will most likely not work with just a breakout board
Correct. But the 3ds can't charge anywhere near fast enough to take advantage of PD. It's like 1a max iirc

@@janboerschlein if you look closely, the breakout board he used here has pull-down resistors installed, so this one can communicate with PD chargers.
the new Osmo pocket 3 looks good, damn

Awesome Video!!!! Now I have to go buy a 3DS!!!!
Just received a hand-me-down 2DS (not XL), is this process transferable to the 2DS
Thoroughly enjoyed this video! I hope ot does well and we can get more of these!
12:50 is it better to do a cursory power up and charge check before buttoning up? Just to save the plastic your screwing into.
No point buttoning up if you get white smoke or having to open again nothing happens…
increadible vid, the camera face follow was a tad too strong as it was bascially just folowing tiny tiny movements
Wow, the quality is great. New cutting board also helps XD
Ya, it helps when you use your main A cam for the overhead cam :P
13:11 sacrilege
Know you're playing with the Osmo, but please try to limit the face tracking. Comment primarily for engagement.

older chargers or "dumb" chargers just give 5v
Do you by chance have a link to the replacement battery?
does it matter that usb c breaker board i use, ive seen smaller ones and i feel that would be optinal but i also wnt it to charge fast.
Cool project. I'm now wondering if you could also add a wireless charging reciever inside the case?
There are a few mods to add that, although they seem to be a bit more invasive
Useful mod for simplifying types of cables needing to keep track of
You will want to bridge the 2 data lines if you want that to charge with a USB-C charger.
Why? Why can't we leave it in the configuration that is shown in the video? I'm about to do this and am wondering if this would be an issue
Can this mod be done on an original 3DS?
8:22 genius
Nice video and the new camera setup is great. Can the DJI be setup for an area before panning left - right ?

@@CanuckCreator yes just a bit to sensitive and could do with a dead zone .
I think Retro Game Repair Shop sells a module that's a drop-in replacement for the original charge port
EDIT: Aww, they're out of stock

i've never thought about custom firmware for my 3DS. unfortunately (or fortunately?), i have to do this mod just to install custom firmware now lol
You dont need to do any hardware mods to install CFW on a 3ds
@@CanuckCreator I don’t have the charger anymore is what I meant
@@joshuaortiz8709helps to clarify, anyway good luck with your hardware mod!
This is sick! Although I’m having a hard time finding the proper usb c board for sale. Also, there are no tutorials on how to do this mod on a regular sized New 3DS, I’m curious if it fits the same?
Should work probably
Is there a chance that it permanently damage the console?
theres always a chance when opening up and modifying something
Glad to know I am not the only one with tape at the back end of the ts100 iron.
Yup, dropped and the back end shattered, good ol electrical tape to the rescue
I like you used to get shells. Even some fpv sites had special colors and then it all dried up. Still love the iron.
Now I kinda wanna buy some ds's/3ds's
Will this mod work on a original 3DS XL?

thats an interesting video. Is it actually possible to connect that kind of 3ds with a pc via usb c port? for loading data from pc to 3ds?
No sadly. At least not to my knowledge. The configuration in the video only lets you charge, and I don't think you can connect the data pins to anywhere on the 3ds sadly.
whoa, why does the camera keep panning left and right? It's giving me car-sickness feelings.
Just trying out the face tracking feature on a Pocket osmo 3
Why does the camera move like that
because it was on a tracking gimbal
Does it work with new 3ds not so xl
Great video, quick question, why not replacing the original charging port ?
Cause it’s more troublesome compared to adding new extra port. Not to mention that there are many TYPE-C ports with multiple pin layouts (some 2, others 4/6, or full)
USB C the great savior
Hey all! Would this work on a Non-New 3DS XL? Are the soldering points the same?
The points are the same, but the regular 3DS XL doesn't have that convenient space at the back where you can place the breakout board. You'll have to be more creative.
