Pip boy - live test :)
Now this has been so mindblowing, so many problems and solutions with this one, but I finally have something to show you guys :) 20 days in the making :D
Now, it's almost ready, but when i was test building it i've noticed a few more problems that i need to redesign and solve, like trying to make it easier to access electronics, some offset tolerances, and stuff like that, so i will kindly ask for few more days so i can solve all of this and make the assembly and build guide for you guys. We are getting very close to the finish line :)
As you have noticed, I have decided not to go with a mobile phone version, bcs new ones are super big, and buying older/smaller second hand phones just to put in an oversized bracer didn't feel like the way to go. Once this version is fully done I might explore the phone option a bit more, but this version is super easy to build, even easier than mando motorized vambrace and the cost for all might be even less than a used old phone :)
Hope you like it, I need to solve these few issues and it will be ready soon. I know this project takes a very long time, so i hope you don't hold it against me, but this is an insanely time consuming task, and i hope after seeing this you will share my thoughts in thinking it was worth the wait :)

wow excellent work, also looking forward to this one
Thank you :)
Looks great! Can't wait!
Hiya Marko… I have made the Pip boy and ended up doing two boards and two screens, because one screen was cracked. It issue we have is the touch screen don’t work and it does one run of the page images and then stops on the main screen… My 2 questions are: How to address the touch screen (we have updated) And Is there a line of code we can add to continuously scroll from power up to power down as I am thinking of making the damaged one into wall art.. Many awesome thanks from the UK.
so if the touch screen doesnt work there is not much you can do. the code is written for the touch screen, so if you dont plan to use it as i intended it ,you would need to change the code.Not sure if there's just 1 line that needs changing or more of it, i would have to dive back into it and trial/error stuff to figure it out. Thats why i provided the open source code so you guys can explore it, learn from it,and in the end, change it however you see fit for you needs, as it is not possible for me to write a new code every time someone wishes it to behave diferently. Sadly with so many requests , i would never get anything else done around here :D
hello everyone, how do I get to the may folder. new to this patron, would like to download the pipboy file. thanks.
Would be great to use animated GIFs for the graphics, not sure if anyone has found some to use?
The board cant run it. Its a hardware limitation
Hello! Can an Arduino R4 WiFi be used? Pin layouts look the same as the R3.
Unfortenatelyl i dont know, i dont have that one. i designed it for the board thats in the folder as i know the screen is compatible with that one and its been tested on that one. but if you have the r4 arround, give it a shot, it might need some codea adjustments
Quick question, is it just a few screens or interactive?
static screens you can swipe between
I was walkin' along, mindin' my business When out of an orange-colored sky Flash! Bam! Alakazam! Wonderful PIP-Boy came by!!!!!
Holee! That is super cool! Love it. You rock Marko!
Wow just wow this looks incredible!!! And no phone needed which is just insane.
nice job - looks amazing :)
thank you :)
Good job!! Any sneak peak of the BOM list so we can be a bit ahead of the time the parts arrive vs when parts are ready to print?? 😝
Some things still might change, Its a matter of 1-3 days, it will all be available very soon once im sure its all good :) dont want to give my competitors a head start either :D i know many are just waiting on copying this design like all my others :D so far there ware once again no pip boy 3d models out there, but im quite sure we will see lots after this release :D so yeah, a tiny bit of patience so i can get it done right :)
This is absolutely spectacular. This is well worth the wait and your effort definitely shows. Always excited to see your work
appreciate it , it means allot :)
Truly amazing you are the best modeler, designer, artist, engineer all wrapped into one , so fortunate to be on your patreon what an exciting time to be alive
thank you so much, it means allot :D i’m happy to get so much awesome support :)
I'm always happy to wait for your designs because they are always worth waiting for! So excited for this one.
thank you :) fixin those little issues today,and doing another test print today/tomorrow and we’re done :D
You have outdone yourself. Well done.
Thank you :) not much more to go but some parts will get some minor redesigns :)
Achi machi! Better to not have to sacrifice design to mash a phone into it
Agreed :D
Damn now that’s new level
Thank you :) thsts what i was aiming for :D need to chsnge the design a bit to make ot essier but soon :)
Well worth the wait. Looks phenomenal
Thank you buddy :)

I can wait for that awesomeness 🙌🏾🤘🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 this is 🔥!!
Almost done :D
Any chance on getting the electronics list released so we can go ahead and order what we will need?
If the electronics are finalized I would love to order them now. Also a look at the code running the pip boy would be amazing. Great work!
Take your time and get it the way you want. We are excited for the project!
Thank you :)
Let’s goooooo!!!
Yesss 😁
