Over at MidwestMods we love our video games especially the old school ones that paved the way to what we have today. I decided that it would be fun to have tournaments that would award the top 3 players coupons or prizes for top scores.

Behold “MidwestMods themed Tetris”. You will see some ic components, music, and the pcb theme. Currently i’m trying to get as many players to battle it out for the top score and ultimately are game testers to ensure everything is working as intended before we run our first tournament. ( first run will be a test ). Have fun and please keep it civil in the discord and if you use a nasty nickname like A$$ i can reset it. 🙂

As promised here is the build tutorial. Please let me know if the video needs to be redone for higher quality. Looks like youtube rendered it at 720p vs 4k.

In this video please watch closely as I accidently soldered red to D1 and white to D2. This is swapped in the video. The photo below is the correct wiring white, red, yellow, blue.

As promised I lowered all prices to $50.00 usd per kit and $10.00 usd for shipping. Here you will see what is in each kit. An assembly video is on the way.

Contents of the kit include:

1x — bt/wifi module – please inquire if you need this soldered on for you
1x — custom PCB board with the screen
2x — m2 x 12mm – socket head cap
1x — m2 x 4 x 3.2 – Threaded insert
5x — connector crimps for dc controller port
1x — dc connector
1x — 3d printed dc frame

We are up and running with a few new changes to the site. We will be launching a new product called TapTap along with some lowered prices to our current Microsap offerings. The main changes will be a build kit. This will lower prices for everyone as our main goal. The microsap is a limited run and once it sells out it will be opensourced for everyone to order on their own from whatever board maker they choose. That was always our end goal is to get our R&D money back and release it to the community. TapTap will be one of the smallest pico2maple form factors on the market and we are very excited about this new venture. Stay tuned!!
