Nobble's PMP

[nobble]

So I decided since I have an extra zenith screen, I will make a PMP/testing screen.

I am using 2 3.7 volt lipos most likely, and I am incorporating a tv media card. It has usb and sd card slots and runs off of 5v.

The PMP will have a headphone jack, a/v in, and remote features for the media card.

So what kind of batteries/regulator are you going to use?

 

[nobble]

haven't decided yet. I may use 6000 mah batts or just 4700 mah's. I'm just going to use a 7805 reg.

I like this idea, would be a great test screen, plus with the charging usb ports and tv media card it's gonna be sick, have you decided on a media card yet?

 

[nobble]

Yes, its a chinese card that i bought from benftw. It should come by wednesday.

 

[nobble]

Well i realized the batteries I was going to use were 6400 mah instead of 6000. I forgot about the extra 400...should have remembered since I'm using them in my portable n64. But I'm probably going to order them on wednesday.

Does anyone know how to make a ti regulator output 5 volts? That might save me some battery life.

 

[bentomo]

The pth 08080 can put out 5v, it's the max of the regulator.

 

[Argelfraster]

Nice idea, may I ask what kind of filler you use?

 

[nobble]

ABS and bondo.

Also UPDATE:

I finished sanding the case. IT'S MAH BESTEST JOB EVAR!

It's like, REALLY smooth guys. Thanks to my new palm sander.

I also threw on primer. So in a few I should be painting this baby again.

Palm sanders are the shiiiiit.

 

[nobble]

I know! I had to sand both the nobble64's by hand...ugh that sucked.

[zeturi]

Coolness.

 

[nobble]

yup, once that dries I can put the clear coat on and be done with the painting!

EDIT: Finished putting on clear coat. Did it a little too thick so I hope it turns out alright. Ill just let it sit for a few days.

 

[bentomo]

What kind of paint did you use?

 

[nobble]

rustoleum. I used it on the nobble 64. It doesnt get sticky at all.

 

[nobble]

I soldered everything in place, but there's a problem... The audio doesn't work unless I push on the headphone jack.

What's wrong Modretro?

 

[Twilight Wolf]

Loose solder joint?

Lookin' good, by the way!

 

[nobble]

Well whats weird is I dont even have to push on the solder...maybe the jack is just bad.

 

[nobble]

Well I fixed the audio issue. It was a bad jack. So I installed a radioshack jack and it works fine. Even cuts speakers when plugged in.

Tomorrow I should be getting the media card. And then I can finish this up.
