Great idea! I'm totally with you on the filming side of things - it can sometimes be quite awkward working around a camera. Anything to help is a good idea! I love those LCD controllers. I got a 15" IPS laptop screen a while ago, and got a similar controller board for it, meaning to do the same as you (for the same reason - filming videos, haha) - just not got round to it! The biggest challenge is making a sturdy frame, which is more difficult the bigger the monitor is. Looks like yours is strong enough though! That charger looks pretty useful, particularly because it prevents undercharging. Great video as usual! Looking forward to the second part.
I want to use it like a TV Basically I want the screen on a goose neck so I can adjust it and watch RUclips videos and channels on my bed in 1080p!!!!!!!! Basically it has the same feel as a Smart TV
This video reminds me of the project I started about 12 months ago... We kept getting jobs at work where the customer wanted us to take a keyboard, mouse and monitor to look at headless PCs that weren't working... I gutted a netbook (for a different project) and intended to do a portable monitor with built in mouse (touchpad) and keyboard.... Only got as far as planning. Might go and actually make it now that I'm not working full time.
I took inspiration and made one for myself too! Thanks! Instead of fabricating the case from scratch, I obtained a black ABS one that just about fit everything. I'm also using a battery holder for the 18650 cells, rather than soldering it on directly. It's working great!
Good project, can't wait for the next part. If you dribble thin super glue on the cut edge of MDF you can get a better finish. Take care with MDF, you don't want to breath in the dust.
@@reallifeperson6891 just graduated last 2019 and today's my first month on a big solar company in my country 😁 I've made a few projects that I've learned more here in the internet with my real life teachers more than the school I've been with. I also made a lot of mistakes and really work hard to become better at building and designing machines even if I'm not an engineer, I do a lot of engineering works and I hope someday I'll make more innovative projects and help people too just like Greatscott help me learn and love engineering.. haha 4 years just passed by, wow.. I hope you have a great day 😁
Just ordered 4 lithium ion chargers using your links to support your channel because your are uploading a lot of videos last time:D Great work, keep it going;)
great idea , next time try to include a mirocontroller in the box to control the functioning , along with the awesome code to control the buttons , add a resistive touch display , and a temperature sensor on the li-po charger and the battery !
The XL6009 will not start below 3.5V input, but the cell's voltage can goes down to 2,8V before the protection circuit switches off. We need to use all the capacity of the cells to reach maximum efficiency and long operating time. You need to power the IC from it's upconverted output voltage, but you need also a starter circuit too, which doubles the battery's voltage for some millisecond at powerup to kickstart the converter..
Just because he has a 3D printer doesn’t mean it’s the best solution, doing stuff yourself most of the time looks better. @Tyler Donia 3D printers aren’t slow, building the case takes longer and requires doing stuff yourself.
you should make a video about repurposing old laptops to make new monitors, or even your own aio computer or just a plain bigger screen for this project, it was really easy, just buy the appropriate driver board online and it works
You're doing a great job with the videos! I like these instructional DIY vids a lot, but I am also looking forward to more electronic theory videos too~
I made a monitor under $35,buyed a 15 inch monitor,buyed a dead laptop battery,took good cells from battery,all 6 cells were good only bms was down,I got monitor for $30 and battery for $5 connected all battery in parallel and connected to a boost converter module,apparently my 15 inch monitor was usb powered,I adjusted batteries and boost converter + charging module in monitor case,did all wiring required and everything cost about $35,it was not very easy but today too my monitor works fine
hey I've got an amazing challenge for you. I'd love it if you made your own LCD control board from an old laptop. If this is literally impossible please explain
Tip for anyone with a scratch on their monitor, take some coconut oil and a piece of cloth and rub a tiny amount into the scratch and afterwards wipe the excess oil around the scrath off. The scratch will now be much less noticeable.
I don't know is you know this all ready. But on the Canon camera you can zoom in on the LCD to forces better by pressing the Zoom in button on the top right
Hier noch ein Tipp wenn du mit holz arbeitest! Benutze einen Anschlag z.b eine gerade Holzleiste und fixiere diese mit zwei zwingen! Dann noch ein bisschen langsamer schneiden und dann hast du kein probleme mehr^^ Es ist nämlich fast unmöglich holz perfekt mit der Dekrupiersäge per Hand zu schneiden:)
I'm sure you know this but li-poly charges in a CC mode up to a certain threshold then translates to CV (which those green 18650s look like?), so your clamp ammeter calculation isn't quite right. Either way, great job. You and AvE are people I'm proud to Patreon!
I had thoughts about doing something similar with a laptop monitor. Basically I have the laptop with the original motherboard, and keyboard removed. Attempting to get all hardware confined in the laptop with push-able buttons that won't accidentally turn on the laptop by closing it.
Hi Scott... Question... If you are consistently unhappy with your freehand cuts on the wood/MDF, why do so much of it freehand? Clamp some sort of guide to your scroll saw... or clamp a guide to your work piece and run your jigsaw's base up against the guide. Very few cuts should need to be done freehand. I make my own speakers sometimes and I wouldn't leave my cuts up to freehand. I always use some sort of guide to make sure they come out well.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. They are very well made and funny, and of coarse extremely informative. As a matter of fact they are somewhat of a answered prayer for me. Please keep up the good work!!👍🇩🇪
Great vídeo Scott, thanks for it! I would like to suggest you a video to DIY! It's possible do a remote control to drive a camera? I mean, control the movements of the camera over a tripod, right, left, higher or get down (like a automatic hydraulic jack controlled from an iPhone, Tablet or whatever). It's just a suggestion, keep the good work
Attaching sandpaper to a piece of glass or flat tile is a great way to get flat and true edges. Less cumbersome than a rasp. Other than that, great vid.
Hey great idea. Would have been beneficial for you to mention how crucial it is to wear a mask to avoid breathing in the MDF dust which is very bad for your health. Setting up a hoover in the vicinity of your tools would have helped whilst cutting to collect dust whilst you dangerously sawed the wood with no safety measures to speak of lol
This is a great idea! My camera doesn't have the flip out screen, but it does have a wire to connect it to external monitors, although it only works with AV input wires (yellow white and red). I guess I'll have to find something to convert the image to HDMI. Anyways, I like the project, but it looks a bit too thick lol. I think I will build it with a detachable battery pack, and make the frame out of plastic or something lol. Great idea though!
I really like this project, and it gave me some inspiration regarding some LCDs I've got lying around. I guess I'll use Plexiglass instead of MDF, though - somehow I really don't like MDF at all.
Great project - however, I'd work on some woodworking skills and maybe look into using guides since you're cutting straight edges anyway. Also - maybe a cheap belt/disc-sander? ;-)
That's a really cool idea. I had done similar with a carpc project I did a few years back using a Xenarc 7in touch screen, but left it in it's original case as it was kind of a pricey screen at the time. Think it's time for a remake :D
One idea to charge that 2 cells faster you can add 2*tp4056 module in parallel so it current would be 2a rather than only 1a This would charge them in half the time
My screen controller board comes wired together with what looks like a voltage regulator. Works fine with a 12V bat, but I'm having trouble getting it to play well with the XL6009.
If you use Canon DSLR just plug usb to computer and use it's display as view finder. I think newer models work even through wifi. Though nice project. Canon example is just poor.

It is great to see you here Matt:D did not know that you watch Videos of Great scott :3 :D
+DIY Perks Give quiet PC pls
Is perks dead?
+BlackMaskGameing RBM no XD
+Thomas_D why'd he stop making videos?
"It's pretty hot! ...temperature-wise"

This one of the most underrated channels I've ever known.
Underrated? 1.4 mio subscribers
Youre channel is the one of the few channels that I understand every word. Thanks for your video
This is awesome! I'm going to do this with a 10"+ screen. Thanks!!
EposVox You're welcome ;-)
The 7 is fine for me because I have two 7 inch tablets
I actually have a 13" screen
I want to use it like a TV
Basically I want the screen on a goose neck so I can adjust it and watch RUclips videos and channels on my bed in 1080p!!!!!!!!

@@nathanmead140 Use one of their screens.

Scavengerx3 Thanks ;-)
I have so many of those TP4056 Single Cell Charger boards lying around at home. They can also be used as a battery monitor as well.
The IC is pretty hot.......... temperature-wise!.! I see what you did there.
😏
Looks like some woodworking tools are in order!
great idea , next time try to include a mirocontroller in the box to control the functioning , along with the awesome code to control the buttons , add a resistive touch display , and a temperature sensor on the li-po charger and the battery !
I hope you add some ventilation in part 2. Whether it's needed might seem debatable, but it just makes sense to let it breathe.

What a great way to start a sunday morning.
Danke!
you have a 3d printer why you did not use it to make a box?
Raja Shahbaz 3d printers slow
Because its a diy, most people don't have a 3d printer so it would be pointless to buy one just to make the case
It is a bit inconvenient dusting a 3d printed that everyone totally has yeah.
Just because he has a 3D printer doesn’t mean it’s the best solution, doing stuff yourself most of the time looks better. @Tyler Donia 3D printers aren’t slow, building the case takes longer and requires doing stuff yourself.
Woah This channel has grown massively since i last watched it!
"Can you hear me now?"

Too wasteful
Wegen dir muss ich jetzt Witcher 3 spielen danke! Also mal wieder ohne schlaf zur Schule.
That display is
*THICC*
For the display you can get one cheaper on Walmart but the resolution is lower I bought it and its great.
when marking a line to cut - always use the cutting blade on the outside mark line .. this will always gives a true cut ...
Thank you for pointing out the temperature of the charging module. I was worried I had a bad batch.
I like your work and the common thing in me and u is we both are left handed
Tip for anyone with a scratch on their monitor, take some coconut oil and a piece of cloth and rub a tiny amount into the scratch and afterwards wipe the excess oil around the scrath off. The scratch will now be much less noticeable.
That monitor is GREAT for reading scripts while recording your laptop screen.
I don't know is you know this all ready. But on the Canon camera you can zoom in on the LCD to forces better by pressing the Zoom in button on the top right
Your channel grows so fast compared to other youtubers! 😺
Best Channel Ever!
This would be a great project to revise with 3d printing!
Hey great scott....since you are a genius....i dare you to make a DIY portable computer....i'll be waiting for that video....
Hier noch ein Tipp wenn du mit holz arbeitest!
Benutze einen Anschlag z.b eine gerade Holzleiste und fixiere diese mit zwei zwingen! Dann noch ein bisschen langsamer schneiden und dann hast du kein probleme mehr^^
Es ist nämlich fast unmöglich holz perfekt mit der Dekrupiersäge per Hand zu schneiden:)

for the indentation you should have used a router bit like your CNC uses
Cyborg sheep
I watched his lame sanding attempt and thought that would be what he said he did in the end... but nope.
Ziemlich cool und für raspi und dslr wirklich gut geeignet!!
thank you for these vids Mr. George Takei
Hi Scott... Question... If you are consistently unhappy with your freehand cuts on the wood/MDF, why do so much of it freehand? Clamp some sort of guide to your scroll saw... or clamp a guide to your work piece and run your jigsaw's base up against the guide.

i love working with wood since everyone can access it. i still can't help but think a 3d printer would be amazing for building the case though.

*Me left the chat*
The video was from 2015. Now it's easy to find a usb powered LCD screen.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. They are very well made and funny, and of coarse extremely informative. As a matter of fact they are somewhat of a answered prayer for me. Please keep up the good work!!👍🇩🇪
You could use acrylic sheet instead of mdf.

tiwar87 I put it on my to do list.
this go way beyond my building abilities. but its awesome as fuck
wow centimeters in a "woodworking" project, feels so great as european, thanks!
It's Extremely useful thank you so much . i have been waiting for some one doing this for a long time Greatscott!
Attaching sandpaper to a piece of glass or flat tile is a great way to get flat and true edges. Less cumbersome than a rasp. Other than that, great vid.
This guy needs a 3d printer pronto!
Looks interesting, i cannot wait for part 2
I could use it as a display for my NES Classic. On the road
you doing great scott..keep creative and long life
TNX!!! I was looking for this kind of video for about 1y. now
Great video, would be awesome if you could do a DIY car backup camera video and you could even use the cheap $20 LCD on it.
+Nisheezy Maximus I put it on my to do list.
+GreatScott! Now that would be super awesome.
Buddy of mine has one, but it cost him over $1000 dollars (it came with his very expensive radio)
Did you ever consider using a 3d printer for enclosures?
Yes
Cool

if you dont mind larger 16 inch monitor, there's this AOC display that live on USB power. costs $60 ish
Mesmerizing. If one has all those wood working tools and a workshop, chances are there's a 3D printer there also.
aweesome project

Awesome and informative video as always! Can't wait for part 2!
You are great sir , I always wait for your Videos...
That's a lpt of 18650's... discard all that, and just use the batteries to power your vape! GENIUS!
I recommend a tp4056 single cell charger to connect *two cells*
you can use TP4056 in parallel for more charging current ;)
If you use Canon DSLR just plug usb to computer and use it's display as view finder. I think newer models work even through wifi. Though nice project. Canon example is just poor.
try using 1/8" styrene plastic with a cold weld
Dear Scott I seach the DC/DC converter used between 5 to 12 v .
Could you give us some references ?
Thanks very well
if you combine something like this, get a battery bank and a raspberry pi you can build a diy laptop
I'm here for the carpentry tips
Awesome project! I would have like to see how compact you could have made the case, its a bit bulky?
I wonder if they have a module that would allow you to connect over airplay... new video idea if so!
Very nice video. Well done.
