It fades the lights when the console is off and pulses them with the audio when the console is on.
Just go watch the
Youtube Video

Well, pablot and I have done it again. We've made a new device called the PulseVU, which is an internal chip that takes control of the light bar on the Nintendo Wii.
It fades the lights when the console is off and pulses them with the audio when the console is on.
So when are you going to share how to do it with the rest of us?

I am waiting for a mod that will have the light on if the system is on and there is no disc in the drive and goes off when there is a disc in the drive. The first person that comes up with that gets a donation from me.

. Can't wait for my 90 days to be up... But that's not to say I can't buy one before then! Thanks guys for Helping the Wii Scene. If anyone appreciates it I do.

I've always been a fan of your products (Like the LED Fader 360..mmmm, yummy.)
Keep it up guys.
p.s. You should so send me one for free..and throw in one of those tools to open the Wii (triwing?) LMK if I have to suck up some more.
p.p.s. It would be for a good cause..I know a bunch of peeps locally that would be into one

I'm not getting a Wii for a while, but I might just get one for the hell of it

I bought mine through Gamestop and they had some sort of deal where if it breaks in the first 90 days of owning the console, you take it back and they give you another one, No dealing with Shipping it off or phone calls. That's what I was referring to.

background story- So, after a LONG day of walking around the town, hitting up the shops and what not for some last minute shopping, and watching a movie (Night at the Museum), I was ub3r (I love how firefox says that "ub3r" isn't misspelled) tired..I get home, walk into my fathers room, have a quick conversation, and out of nowhere he says "Oh yeah, your screwdriver is in the kitchen." I sprinted downstairs in excitement and grabbed the screwdriver..I ran back up stairs into my room..grabbed my Wii..threw it onto my bed, and pulled up a "Disassembly Tutorial." After like 40min of trying to figure out how to take this damn thing apart...I take the mobo into my modding room..and that's where all the fun began
Before the pics begin, please keep in mind I was very tired, and the soldering job is CRAP. But hey, it works!
TOP VIEW-
PulseVU-
Points AL and AR-
Point PO-
Point RF-
Point VU-
Point MP-
Video of it in action (26mb...took forever to upload..especially at the ub3r speed of 10kb/s)- link
I'd like to say thanks to sickdimension and pablot for a SICK product.
Cheers!
p.s. I had no idea where to stick the pulseVU, so I kinda just stuck it in the corner..
p.p.s. That MP pad is pretty inconvenient (being on the back and what not)..and soldering to the "under-board" spot was not fun! lol
p.p.p.s. How am I suppose to tell if I have a message or not

The Blue Painters Tape does it for me every time
Yes, who needs to be safe with electrical tape when blue masking tape is oh so much fun, lol.
Once I find a Wii in this dump of a city, I will buy a PulseVU and a Fader 360, but all I can find are PS3's.

would i be corect to assume the a spst switch on either (-) or vcc will disable the chip and keep in in factory default mode? just dont like doing mu;ch modding unless its easy to put back to factory default state.
There's no need to install a switch. We use the Reset button as a switch. Simply hold that button for 4 seconds and the PulseVU is disabled and it acts like it is fully stock.
