The Voyager Tricorder V2 - Part 1

- Wow this one really has been a LONG time coming.
I originally started work on this new updated version over 2 years ago.
And I have spent pretty much all of this year working hard to get it done.
This project honestly had really burned me out. But its pretty much over now.
I have a new completed build and these three videos I'm uploading cover its development.
But its still not quite over. There are still going to be some more changes in a tweaked newer version. But I will go over that in a later video.
Part 2 will be out shortly. I recorded the voice over originally to be a single part but it ended up being a 40 minute video which I felt was too long. So its been split into 2 parts. I just need to finish editing everything together. So give me a few days.
Part 3 will be out shortly after that, where I go over in more detail the hardware and some of the layout of the software.

This is insane to me. I'm still trying to figure out how to get three blinky led's on a strip. You've made the Sistine Chapel in a handheld device.
There's five blinking lights 😉
@@boothbyaw THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!!!! 🖖
i m beyond jealous. someone needs to put this guy in touch with a manufacturing company and make these available for all us good trekkies
I amazed by people who can literally create a computer from scratch. Design the PCB, actually put everything together, and even code the software. Your understanding of electronics must be exceptional.
this needs to be on youtube front page. asap. and needs a million+views plus x100 more subscribers this guy has. incredible work, you impressed a star wars fan.
I agree. This is so incredible. All the time and effort he put in. Just proves if you put your mind to it, you can do anything.
This is unbelievable! I could see this expanding in the future to include actual sensors like temperature, humidity, pressure, altitude, etc. All small enough to be able to fit in future builds (and easier as things continue shrinking). Bravo!
In my >40 years of electronic product design, this is the coolest looking thing I've ever seen, especially the scans for life signs and the metallurgical scans. Your work is definitely inspirational ! But, please just sit back and look at it for a while here and there, and breath !
And to think I came for a reflow oven and left with a Tricorder that's what, ~300 years ahead of its time?
This is truely impressive. Better than the actual ST:NG props and shows how mastry of the modern maker electronics and 3D printing can literally make any SF dream come true. Well done!
This is FANTASTIC. Incredible work!
Seriously impressive work. This is beyond even the hero level props on the actual shows.
absolutely blown away. there have got to be companies that see the worth in your skills and superhuman dedication.
WHAT!? AMAZING STUFF. I just had a nerdgasm.
I hope all is going well for you. Thank you for the videos.
This is an incredible amount of work packed into 20 minutes. you are the man!
Just wish it could take 20 minutes to make the prop :D
Omg this is amazing! Absolutely love it!
So here's my question/thought: if you put a bluetooth receiver/transmitter in the chassis and just assigned ID codes to each of the buttons, could you offload the actual graphics displays to a parent program on a PC? I imagine this would be a cool way to do it if you wanted to customize the display for a long-running project, IE a summer camp where the kids were "scanning" different things in realtime and the PC provided imagery based on the tricorder's GPS location.
Would that make the build easier to replicate? Could you hypothetically forgo any wiring between the two sections altogether by putting a bluetooth in each half and letting the PC handle communication between them as well?
This is absolutely awesome. Congrats.
this is insanely great...I'm gobsmacked!
Wahey, it's really looking good! Do try not to burnout completing it all!
Sad to hear the fate of V1. RIP.
Those hinges look awesome!!
This project is inspirational, to say the least. What a tremendous build. Thank you for showing us your process. 🖖
Yeah it is a shame.... But hopefully the new hinge designs will fair better :)
Mangy_Dog... This is just frigging awesome! I mean, I have issues drawing stickmen. I have absolutely no interest, not to mention expertise and patience, to do something like this myself. I don't have a single pet project, or enjoy working around the house, and I have only a vague idea of which side of a hammer is the striking end (thank God for RUclips videos). But I am absolutely fascinated at watching others, real craftsmen/women/folks such as yourself, work their craft. You are my new hero. I felt your pain and frustration as you described each phase of this project. I love Star Trek for the stories, but the tech absolutely helps push the stories and make them more believable. You and your ilk are amazing. Thank you for this video. Nothing short of amazing!
The Wand Company should take notice and hire you!
That is so good. Thanks for sharing
I think it's time for us to start developing the technology to make actual working tricorders. I mean, I don't expect a handheld device to detect neutrinos or read someone's genetic code from 3 feet away anytime soon, but I think it wouldn't be that difficult to register heart beat, respiration rate, and body temperature from a small distance. And as for other sensors, a Geiger counter could be added, and maybe stuff like a carbon monoxide detector, decibel meter, rudimentary spectrum analysis, stuff like that. Over time, more and more different kinds of sensors could be developed and added as technology advances and scales down.
Someone tell Adam Savage he would LOVE this!! - awesome work mate
Oooh you can't imagine gow much I've been waiting for this day to come :D
If I could I would totally buy one for myself :0
That is awesome!
That is totally mine blowing!
Very cool!!! Well done!
If we could EVER get a Star Trek show that takes place AFTER the Voyager timeline, these tricorders would make that show sooo much cooler!
So impressive!
What can I say? ........ simply wow!
THIS IS SO AWESOME.
Here courtesy of the Hackaday article; excellent work!
Amazing ...
Damn this is cool! Wish i could buy one!
This is awesome
Omg. This is awesome!!!!! I want one so bad!
A cool project.
Dude... I would play with this like a little kid if I had one.
Dang. I want one!
For v3 it be awesome if you added a thermal sensor and added a thermal imaging scanner as a function, you could add a few cool functions using it.. they have some fairly cheap sensors out now. last I looked was a few years ago and there was one for about $220 (cheap for a thermal sensor), there is lots of code available too....
they need to make more new star trek shows so they can use this!
Screw making props this guy should actually be in Starfleet 😂
Take my money now!! This must the next generation phone..!!
I want one!
This is the coolest thing I have seen! Having seen what you have created, I must ask, there's a custom prop I've been trying to get made for years and haven't found anyone to be willing to tackle it. I'm sure you're familiar with Ghostbusters, some years ago on Xbox and PlayStation they came out with Ghostbusters the video game. Very awesome game by the way, but one of the most notable things in this game was a new version of the PKE meter. So hopefully here's the beginning of an awesome project and dialogue between you and me. I've been looking for someone to build me a PKE meter based on that game, that actually possesses a EMF and a few other scanners that are generally found in cell phones. Let me know if there's something you'd be willing to tackle and what kind of estimate on price. Obviously I know estimates of subject to change but if it's something you're willing to tackle let me know.
He literally started this video by talking about how burnt out he is from this build. Doubt he'll be making a prop for you any time soon...
@@wintermute8315 I know he and I spoke. I'm hoping he can point me in a direction of some people who might be able to help.
1:57 - How can that mess not end up in problems?! ;'-D
Rather than using wires to connect up the two sides wouldn't a ribbon strip be better. I mean wouldn't the wires eventually break from bending and unbending constantly? PS. Are you still using the raspberry pi in this?
The hinges are solid brass now. And the insides is more robust :D Check the latest video :)
If I has a device with all the indicator lights constantly blinking, I'd assume it was broken.
How did you do the animated screen?
Programmed the sequences in c++ with opengl like commands. If you watch part three i go into it a little more.
Do you sell this as a kit? I have one of the Stapleton kits - this would be AWESOME to buy!
Its not a kit sorry. And this current design wont fit into the mark ix chassis....
I am open to take commisions though but they wont be quick nor cheap....... As you can imagen these take a while to build :D
@@MD_Builds - hello! I’d be interested in learning more about commissioning a build! How do I get in touch with you to find out about pricing, options, etc?
@@pmc2025 If youre really sure, best to get hold of me on The Replica Props Forum. We can discuss it there :)
Actually, is it possible to buy one? If yes, could you tell me how or where to commission you? Thank you :)
Best to find me on The RPF but if I do take the commission it wont be a quick turn around im afraid.
@@MD_Builds Oh, you're doing a good job with your work and good work needs time. I can definitely be patient for a great prop like this :)
gimmies one! 🤣
I need this in my life!! Are you selling these?
A few, Im near completing a run. And might do a second, but they're not cheap and I'll be increasing the price on the second run, find me on the replica props forum if you want to know more...
Would you let me buy one? 😀
Are they for sale?
Potentially... But I may have just filled my list... But if youre really serious find me on The Replica Props Forum. But i also need to warn you its really not cheap. If some one drops out I can put you on my build list.
I know I'm too poor for one. After bills I get $200 to spend monthly. But great job
Ok so, how much? 😆
*queue Wayne's World* WE'RE NOT WORTHY! WE'RE NOT WORTHY! WE'RE NOT WORTHY!
Hi u sound British I don't spose u consider selling be only id love to build this or buy 1 would u sell a pcb assembly or the diagram or kit of 1 ?? I'm in UK essex
I am, and im sort of. The thing is ive just about finished a run of builds. And wont be doing another for maybe a year. If youre really interested find my thread on the replica props forums market place.
@@MD_Builds I will try to find you on rpf I'm def interested and don't mind waiting a year I also have a close friend who wud also be very interested if the price is right
Why not using a Raspberry Pie, with all Sensors u can find and buy. And then make a Real Tricorder ?
Would be only some Programming to combine it, and then create a dashboard, and some buttons. U can measure the heat of a body to look if someone is ill and so...
in the end this is a toy, a prop, adding a pi is doable but I just feel most sensors are still not good enough to be a tricorder omni plot device :D
11:17 I recognize that Halfords is that the one in Norwich UK? I've been there many times. That Tricorder is beyond amazing, a few years back i ordered one from a guy in America but he disappeared with my £300.00 i forget that guys name now, he was a mega superman fan.
Yep, and sadly it's not uncommon to hear that :( best check out the rpf, there's some good known trustworthy makers there.
How much for one? PM me.
Can't pm here... but if you check some of the other comments in reply to. There's a link to a thread on the rpf that gives all the details
Take my money and shut up lol
Step away from your mic when you start your introduction, chocolate rain and all that :p
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
How much for one for me???
if youre serious find me on The Replica Props Forum... Im taking a very limited few orders. But I need to warn you its NOT cheap.
I intend for this to be received as a friendly, constructive critique: You might want to consider editing-out the heavy breathing of your narration in future videos. Very distracting, especially when that's how the video begins and then continues throughout.
Love the build though! I've bemoaned the fakeness of the on-screen tricorder props for years and you're taking the right steps in the right direction.
Yeah its an issue... The trouble is I use my breaths to time some of my edits and cuts (i stutter), and i have a cheap condenser mic that really REALLY likes to pick up my breathing. After doing the billion and one edits for the voice over, i tend to neglect removing the breath intakes. But yeah I understand. youre not the only one thats made that comment. :) And I feel the same.
@@MD_Builds You'll get there :-) I hope you're well!
Bruh i didn't even NOTICE it until i read this comment, now i can't stop focusing on it. Fuck you for this😂
BTW, my birthday is in November.... ;)
I dont see why a real world version cannot be built to a certain degree of functions. And mass produced.
Habla mucho!!..no se pudo escuchas sus sonidos..
with today's small cheap sensors it's kind of lame that there's no actual functionality
i feel like you have "over thought" this whole thing lol..... =well i understand that you wanted everything in some self contained unit... well thats just stupid in modern times when most ppl have a high end pc in their pocket...... lol... surely you could have just made your device with a screen and buttons with a Bluetooth/WIFI module inside and everything on the device is controlled from a phone app... lol......i have to be honest here... you are one those ppl who thk everything around them is right while ignoring any possible solution thats better then what you have thought of of
if things are easy whats the point? Challenges are what make life worth living.
Wow... when you make a video about one of your jaw-droppingly challenging and stunning projects, I'll be sure to leave a jealous and cunty message too.
