Nice! I also admire that you did it yourself and not over-engineer it with a perfect, shiny 3d printed solution. The fun is to do such things from scratch and find solutions as you go and learn from the mistakes.
The world needs more smart people like this guy
i very rarely press the like button on videos, even if i laugh at them - but this video is an exception. the final product looked very nice and i was impressed with the outcome.
+BoomBrush Thank you very much.
+GreatScott! how long will the batteries last on a full charge ?
+BoomBrush So you're saying that you watch free content made by people who really don't get much in return, and most of the time you couldn't be bothered to click like, even if you like it? A simple click helps push the channel higher in search rankings and suggested videos. Surely that's the least we can do for quality content like this?
To an extent, yes. I agree, if I like content I should like it to give back to the content producer however they already have my subscription and a view count added, which in most cases I think is enough.
In the situation with Greatscott I noticed this particular video project was done well, so I gave it a thumbs up which is substantial for me. I have also recommended Greatscott to people IRL via word of mouth.
If I can do something that costs me absolutely nothing, to help somebody who has given me something for free get a small amount of ad revenue, or even just some thanks and recognition, then I'll go out of my way to do it. But that's just me.
finally a DIY channel that uses the metric system
Great job! You're English is very clear too, just wanted to let you know the "indentation" process of the screw holes in the corners is called "countersinking".
Hot glue = duct tape for electricians.
+Sir Cinex Actually duct tape or electrician's tape is said duct tape for electricians.
ender_scythe eh, I vote both
Sir Cinex ayy LMAO
Double sides tape is just tactical hot glue.
i use hot glue every time, and i regret it using it every time
touch screen + Intel compute stick = awesome
Excellent video man. Also, I just wanted to take a sec to appreciate your Kermit the Frog voice crack at 2:53. Thanks for the help.
You're welcome ;-)
I'm a fan! :) And i want to add some info:
I made a wooden(10mm plywood) box once, and while i'm using cnc router to cut the walls of the box, i too didn't achieve even fit. So after putting box together, i try to sand the excess parts of the walls but it was a labor extesive job. My friend lend me his palm sander machine with its 120, 320 and 800 sand papers. It worked wonders. Within 10 minutes i even all the walls of the box, it even cleans the epoxy residue left from cementation. Also as you know, good sanded surface helps the spray paint surface to shine but hand sanding is a big pain. But not with the palm sander.
I bought one from local hardware store for 49 ₺, (approximately 17$) and its sand papers 15₺ (5 $~). (₺ is Republic of Turkey currency)
Looking forward to see your new videos. Have a nice week. :)
This gave me a fantastic idea for a portable SNES console with the Raspberry Pi
Nice video just loved it. Some of my learnings with the hot glue is to not to use it when the part is going to get heated beyond 60 Deg C. You measured the charger getting beyond 60 Deg C and also the battery is going to get heated. While this will not do any harm initially, over a period of time the hot glue will start getting slack and ultimately the parts will fall off (And can cause shorts etc). So my method was to use hot glue as a temp tack and use Silicone (Which can withstand very high temperatures of close to 300 Deg C or more) in conjunction. So while the hot glue provides for brute strength the silicone prevent glue run off and the part becoming loose inside the cabinet.
you can use IP2312 charge module,it can delivers up to 3A.
Subscribed, liked, shared! This UA-camr deserves millions of subscribers! This video really helped me!
Ahhh you germans always make it the perfect way !
I really like your channel .
My friend found a mini DVD player with 2 remote monitors at a flea market. It only cost him a few dollars. The DVD player was broken, but the monitors worked, so he uses it for external video displays on his drone.
Great scott you are great. Because you shoot clear audible understandable videos. Also you cover every aspect of the build. Thanks a lot. Keep inventing.
Aw yess, i was so bored but my favorite youtuber just uploaded a new film for us ;) Thanks GreatScott! Have a nice afternoon!
***** Thanks, have a nice day as well.
GreatScott! Are you going to make a "Q&A" film? That would be awesome.
Hmmmm maybe someday.
just having a screen thats on a tripod sounds like a great idea, let alone having the whole thing be battery powered
In the last video you show it running at 5v, why not just use a USB power bank that way you can swap out the battery ?
I am glad I have a 3D printer... Pfff what a work.
And this is the reason why I am currently saving up to buy a CNC machine (StepCraft)
Very nice!!! Except the amount of glue that's holding everything together.
Your fabrication skills are definitely improving, congratulations on this project.
Bolts and nuts are NUTS!
The idea of mounting a display on a tripod is great!
How could you make it so perfect...... well done bro
put a rasberry pi in it and get your portable PC
Ugur Uflaz Yep
+Ugur Uflaz or you just buy a windows tablet
+Ugur Uflaz not a bad idea one could honestly build there own tablet/monitor like he did
+ryanjames170 rekt
+Tomáš Hlavna how did he get rekt?
I realy enjoyed the video and had a little idea to make it even better.
I think i'd be a great idea to ad a little speaker and a 3.5mm audio jack to make use of audio over the HDMI input.
scot adamsın, her şey elinin altında dostum ya .mengene bile var adamda olayı kes.
hi great video like always :D i'm just wondering how long will the battery last for this project?
Nice project but I would prefer to build a plastic case. I like using ABS which you can buy in sheets. And since it is already black in color, no need for paint. Of course, more expensive than wood but also, more durable.
you should use primer on mdf before painting it. The primer wil lfill the gaps in the mdf and cover the glue. Sanding the primer before reapplying another layer is also a good idea.
Begs for a nice 3d printed case.
Christopher Johnson Handcrafted cases are always better.
Jordan O'C Really? A 3d printed case would look a lot cleaner and more professional. Handcrafted cases are good for quick and dirty projects, as well as prototyping, but for long term use, you really should print a case, or use a premade project box.
harshbarj Actualy if you put enough work, you can hand craft a beautiful case.
harshbarj Sorry dude, I have to agree with Valtra103. A handcrafted case is only as good as the effort you put into it. Look at Jimmy DiResta for example, he makes all his stuff. Not all of it is necessarily hand made, but it still looks fantastic. 3D printing is good, however, it just can't be the human touch.
Edit: corrected typo
Jordan O'C , So your original comment was wrong by your own admission. First you say it is always better, then you say it depends on the work you put into it. If it depends, then it can't always be true. That was my only issue, your generalization of all hand made cases being better, not that you can't make a nice case by hand. It's just not worth the time IMHO.
If you have a rotary plunge router you could use it to create the inset for the screen and other elements, and even use it to drill and remove openings in the frame in one step without using a saw.
I think we can use LEGO pieces for monitor board . I know this way not will be strong but it's will be more easier make a monitor body.
Good job! I would have also added a mini amplifier pam8403.
I swear, this one and your LCD laptop screen one are absolutely amazing! Keep up the great vids :D!
I hope you wearing a particle respirator when you make dust with MDF. It is composed of glue containing formaldehyde (higly carcenogenic). When you cut MDF, It release in the air tiny particles that can get stuck in lungs, remains on your clothes and in the enviroment for days. I think other composite materials (e.g. OSD, plywood...) can contains formaldehide too. The old good bare wood, a block plane, two saws (1 rip-cut, 1 cross-cut) and some chisels and you can build everything in a more safe manner. I don't want to scare you, I just want to make you safe.
Instead of MDF, take a look at easy to cut plates like 'GUTTAGLISS Hobbycolor 3mm'.
No mess, no sanding, and it makes a perfect match with your glue gun 😉
The word - Great - fits ! I really enjoy watching your videos ! Thanks !
Future project: turn smartphone batteries into portable powerbanks?
Most of us have old smartphone batteries from electronics we don't use anymore. Would be cool if there is a way to convert them into powerbanks :)
Very nice DIY ! Im glad that you're also from Germany so it is easy for me to get all the materials for the projects. :D
That solder joint will break lol 5:21
one word....that is awesome dude....
watching you create these awesome life hacks is a motivation. Great channel and awesome videos
This is coolest electronic channel I could find, how you manage to learn so much and apply it so easily?
You should replace the black paint with rubber coating, it makes it feel a bit more "premium" if you know what i am saying.
I was thinking maybe a plastidip or something similar would be nice as well.
It's pretty cool how if you look at most of the Amazon links, Amazon shows for "customers frequently also purchased" all of the other items in this parts list. I guess a lot of people are building one of these. :D
I would add glass to show off my work and make it thinner.
This is awesome and by chance answered allot of question I have for one of my projects. Thank you for the share.
I would use regular wood plank for sides and 1-2mm aluminium sheet for front and back plate for better durability and glossy finish. MDF is too breakable for my taste. Anyway nice project.
nice...best project i ever made is making my wireless mouse use lithium batteries and a microusb port for charging...no additional circuit to prevent over voltage etc
lipo 1s have 4.2v usb is 5v.. how does it work...?
Jirka Cvrcek just like that. i supply 5v directly instead of 4.2 v. i know this is dangerous...but im still waiting for my micro usb to 4.2v li battery charger circuit board to arrive.
and this is how i did it: soldered battery to the AAA battery connector. soldered micro usb as well to the same connector for charging. thats it. when battery is low it switches off and then i plug micro usb for charging. i dont use it when charging and i let it charge for about 1 hour. it lasts about 3-4 days. its a 340mAH li ion battery i salvaged from a broken mp4 player
+martin mystere sorry but that is really stupid.. lipol/ion are extremly sensitive to overcharge/overdischarge.. if your cell gets bellow 2.2V it's useless and ready to bin.. if you overcharge them it can cause fire or toxic things put of them.. no hate but thats dangerous..
i know it was dangerous...but i dig up further and did some reading. i love my mouse...and im gonna stop using it until i get my 5v to 4.2v circuit to arrive :p Jirka Cvrcek
That is very nice. I would make a nice walnut case for it... or maybe a laser printer case!!! XD
Very good👍it would be better if the case is made by 3D printed plastic. Happy creative.
You should've put a touch screen panel in there as well!
I didn't want it to end. More videos man
On banggood you can find display with 30$ , is not the same quality but price is pretty low .7 Inch LCD HD TFT PcDuino Digital Display Raspberry Pi Monitor
GreatScott! Damn your videos are very interesting, fluid, on high quality, please don'y stop doing video!!
awesome!! such a good case.
i would preffer a 3d printed one, but this one still a master piece.
You could have also made it take an external battery pack, allowing you to carry more than one if desired.
I want to do this project.I love to do projects.Great idea!
Klasse Video und gute Projektidee.
Nur eine Sache fällt leider auf:
die Mehrzahl muss verwendet werden wenn es mehr als einer ist:
millimeters
centimeters
meters
A 3D printer would come in handy for designing and printing your project case. I have a similar lcd screen and would love to integrate it into my flight sim setup, but I think I'll hold off for a printer.
i wish you to get millions of likes and subscribers
I love this Build!!!!!!
I like the wiring part.
Scott, It would be awesome if you can make a led based audio amplifier for something like surround sound speakers. which light up depending on the beat
I love your accent! Cheers from Virginia, United States.
a great idea.
i going to add a controller and orange pi inside it.
I love this project
how about using a I pad with few adapters and holders instead? Saves all this work...
Yeyyy :D Second part :D Thank you for upload this awesome project :D I am from Polish and I must make this ! Sorry for the mistakes in the sentence but my English is not good.
now i can use it for my DIY mini pc
Is it okay to drill those holes a little closer inside so the box doesn't break? And maybe add washers to spread the impact over a larger area to reduce breakage?
Replaceble 18650 Batt. are nice, Switch it every Time^^
You are making great videos and you are producing great results taking into account the limited tools you have. But have you ever thought of building your selve a cnc mill? I think that would improve your project results even thurder.
Great video Scott, you are one smart german!
Great video!
i just have to ask you one question.
why didnt you desolder some component that might be unnesecery from the controller board like the the VGA and some of the board to board connectors, you could have just solder some wires and get a much thiner product.
cant wait for another video
Elad Elmakias I wanted to keep it simple. But feel free to modify your version ;-)
You should do a giveaway for that, it would be an amazing piece of art and tech to have
Just Incredible
nice drilling station
dude you are genius
You should put touchscreen panel hahahah lol just kidding I dont even know if that's possible.
Yeeyyyy :D Second part of the diy portable monitor :D Thanks you GreatScot !!!!! :D
it's probably not very smart to hot glue your batteries.. battery holders are like 2€/piece
I was thinking the same thing haha
Those are not batteries, those are accumulators
I think you should do a video of a second revision of this portable screen, then we will take your advice seriously.
Next time, It will be nice if you use a 3d printer to print a custom plastic box for your monitor.
Try to make a Portable Touchscreen wich works with the RPI
You are very intelligent man!!!
Scott I love your videos and I just want to ask, Can you please make a video of a diy that isny really complex but still cool pleaseeee
...and i will see you next time!!
i would use it for a portable tv
Alle Teile bestellt, ich bin scharf drauf! Richtig gut wäre noch eine kabellose Übertragung des HDMI Signals. Kann man sowas auch basteln ;)?
This...Is...Sick!
The frame is a little width but good project.
I love your videos, but, buy a small table saw!!! All of your wood working projects will fit better, look better, and it will cut your time half!!!! Keep On Keeping On!!!
He has one, look at part 1.
Nice choice of electronics, I would consider a 3D printer though, you could make a much more ergonomic shape, more like an iPad or other tablet, to hold the contents. Nice video though!
***** the purpose is to allow people that doesn't own a 3dprinter to do the case. Well u can always design your own case using cad ;)
MIS FIT Ahem..How to design 3d printed case :)
Computer aided diagram like solidworks. I use that in my sch to design my project.
hotgluing batteries apple style ;D
Linux and oshw the win, I don't need countless design flaws in things you pay thousands for sit down apple fan boy.
I'm attempting a similar style build, but for some reason am not wrapping my head around the resolution I need(#noob). I'm viewing a 30 dollar product that resembles the first screen and driver you had in the first video, the specs for the display are:
"LCD size: 7.0 inch(Diagonal)
Resolution: 800×3(RGB)×480
Display mode: Normally White, Transmissive
Dot pitch: 0.0642(W)×0.1790(H) mm
Active area: 154.08(W)×85.92(H) mm
Module size: 164.9(W)×100.0(H)×5.7(D) mm
Surface treatment: Anti-Glare"
While the specs for the HDMI+VGA+2AV Driver Board are:
"Dimension: 90.57 X 65.60 X 12mm
Work Voltage: DC 12V
Up to Resolution: 7~22inch up to 1920*1080
Input: Dual/Single LVDS interface
Work Current: 200~250mA
Input Signal: HDMI VGA AV
Audio: Support
Remote: Optional
OSD: Support"
Does this mean that the driver is capable but the screen will have low resolution? I could go with the $70 dollar option, but I'd like to have a better understanding of why this $30 one is insufficient for the sake of expanding my own knowledge.
Pretty sweet rig! 👍🏻
Your channel is inspirational and magnificent. I learn a lot from you. Cheers mate!
Love your UA-cam channel dude
