So I made a lot of progress on this project before summer started but lost the notebook containing it. Now I am part of the Minio team, in charge of tutorials, and soon I'll be working on their portable 3D printer project as well, combining my cleverness with their teknowledgie. I think it is...

most laptop hardware, including the LCD, is made by samsung these days. samsung will have a datasheet for the LCD, and this is what you will send to a company on ebay like njytouch who will then send you a board to control it with.

TOOK ME THE ENTIRE *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ING DAY downloaded Openscad this morning, decided to learn my way around by way of making something. Surprisingly intuitive despite it's intimidating complexity, I show you my rough recreation of Amnnra's Wheatley figure. can't get photobucket to work so posting code...

I don't know if you can really call anything 'standard' in the field of 3D printing, but okay. And I've been looking around trying to find a good hotend for my eventual printer, and I'm thinking perhaps a jhead or aluhotend. Do you know what the maximum temperature is? I can't seem to find it on...

You mention an Arduino. Does it run exclusively from a single controller, or do you have a shield?

Hi all, A friend of mine recently acquired a copy of LoZ: Minish Cap, and quickly discovered it to be a bad bootleg copy. Now I've opened it up and I'm looking at the chipset, and there was only 4 things on the board -- 1 M5M5V108DK RAM chip, 1 black gob, 1 watch battery, and 1 M6MGD137 chip...

while I think my design might be different than what you're expecting, I sent you an email with some information and links to work done so far. Even if you're not interested I'd love to hear back. :)

Alright so in order to figure this out, we have to know what voltage you're running your console at. Like you said, you'll be going into the GC at 14.8v, but are you planning this for screen, audio amp, etc? If so, hook them all up to an 14.8v power source, then use a multimeter to find the...

For the first iteration, until you can start printing more precise parts, yes. After that, it shouldn't be an issue. And you're fine, it's good to cover all the bases of why A and not B, that's why I asked for input.

Yes, but these things aren't quite so common, and require purchasing/ordering online. The bump wheel can be made from scrap wood, and just about any limit switch can be used with it. I'm aware, however it would only give you the position of the motor, not the allthread, and that's the...

Alright then. Here's a quick rundown of the major points: -controlled only by an Arduino. No shields, no add-ons of any kind, only basic circuitry (switches, transistors, etc.) -must use only a normal, DC motor, the kind you could pull out of any old appliance. No steppers. -$100 budget, at the...

Hi all. I've been working recently on a couple different projects and keep hitting much the same roadblock for each one, which is manufacturing troubles. Because of this, I have decided that the project I must complete before any other will be a 3D printer. I have a couple of prototypes going...

aaaand my CMB is dead. Does anyone have a fried one of these they can let go cheap? It's one of the IC's that needs replacing, and all six of them are identical.

Alright, so I just tested the battery, it's at 4.1v -- the same as the other two. I'm going to give it a shot running the screen and see if it's still alive.

Not that many people really saw it, but for now this project is on hold. My buyer cancelled right before I made the case, and since it costs upwards of $600 to print, I can't continue without. I'll still post my CAD models, or at the absolute least pictures of them, but until further notice I...

"safely and correctly" see, that's the bit that isn't immediately obvious. I only have the PCB to charge/discharge three at a time, so to do it through that would require either over discharging or over charging, unless you have a single-battery alternative. Well it was being transferred from...

Alright so due to a very dim mistake on my part, one of my three LiPo batteries was floating about in a bin of other components, the leads shorted and there was a rather bright orange light. Now, I had all three batteries completely charged prior to this, but now I have 2 charged batteries and...

Well, the first bit of advice for an utter noob is this: READ. EVERY. MEGASTICKY. I cannot stress this enough. Even if you've read them all already, read 'em through another 4-5 times, just to be sure you have at least a basic understanding of every element of portablizing. Secondly, make sure...

Yes, it's for that one (now called Project Abraham btw). And the gamecube itself doesn't take much, but I'm running a 13.3 inch screen. I'll try that though, I didn't think of that. K

I would be interested, but I would also like to see some more developed rules before committing.
