[edit] Homebrew Hardware

There are several homebrewer-made hardware devices that are designed to add various neat functionalities to your DS.

[edit] DSerial

The DSerial is an adapter meant for electronics enthusiasts and people interested in getting started in digital electronics. Features:

  • 8051 microcontroller running at 24MHz
  • Reprogrammable from DS
  • Free development tools available
  • 18 I/O lines, 2 status LEDs
  • UART with RS-232 level converter (can be disabled)
  • Full-speed USB 2.0 device
  • PWM and ADC available
  • 2-axis accelerometer (tilt sensor) (optional, costs $20 extra)

Forum & NaWiki.

[edit] NDS Motion Card

The DS Motion Card contains a 3-axis accelerometer (better than the one in the wiimote), as will as a single axis gyro sensor. It will allow interesting new types of DS homebrew. See the official NDSmotion site for examples and code documentation. There is an example program for the NDSMotion module in the libNDS examples folder. NDSMotion support is also included in libNDS CVS.



[edit] Passme Serial

With some simple modifications, a passme can give a simple bidirectional serial port which can be used to communicate with other serial devices. See natrium42's passme serial page for more info.

NOTE: Do not confuse this with DSerial, they are very different!
