    when do you think that you will finish off the project(tell all the parts you used etc)(by the way, how much did this cost?)

    • @cncdan
      @cncdan  Год назад +1

      I'll be starting to release files in the next couple of weeks. Just need to finish testing the last few things and then I can release the first round of files. Cost is difficult to calculate right now because I've had several sets of prototype pcbs and components etc. So cost to me is probably a lot higher than final cost to build will be. I will post a full list of the components to purchase once I've got all the files together so that information should be available soon.

    Dan I just came across your channel. I've been thinking about a simple handheld to create that just tethers to your PC which has a touchscreen with gamepad powered by a Type-c connection to support alt display port and controller input. There is no NUC. No battery. No Android. Just a comfortable way to play away from your full powered desktop. Would this be a good project?

    • @torq21
      @torq21 Год назад

      I like this idea a lot. I find PC streaming over my wireless network to be a pain.

    • @cncdan
      @cncdan  Год назад +1

      Definitely could be done. Getting it all to work over usb-c though will be the challenging part! If it were me I'd just settle for usb-c for power/controls and run the screen through a seperate HDMI cable.

    • @cncdan
      @cncdan  Год назад +1

      On one of my previous builds, I tried a bit of game streaming and I have to agree, over wifi it sucked. I tried connecting the handheld directly to the computer over ethernet though and I found the experience to be greatly improved. This might be an easier option for tethered gaming rather than trying to implement hdmi and controls over USB-C. Plus then you have a device you can still use away from your computer!

    • @tomoprime217
      @tomoprime217 Год назад

      It depends. Some cheap all in one type-c adaptors have the hdmi output. Otherwise I think you can get those portable screens that take a type-c in for signal and power, they sometimes also have extra usb ports to optionally power separately with data passthrough so you could potentially tie the controller interface all through the display without needing a doc. At this point I would go as far as excluding the touch screen requirement if the screen included most of what we need within budget.

    • @cncdan
      @cncdan  Год назад

      Oh yeah, I suppose you should be able to fit an adapter in the back of it instead of the NUC as there is plenty of room in there! Just not something I'd want to try and design myself as I know its pretty complex to get working. The controller will have a keyboard/mouse mode anyway which is a pretty good replacement for a touchscreen for basic navigation tasks. And the controller itself just shows up as a regular old USB HID so it should work over anything that can provide a USB 2.0 connection.

    Super confused. Is it a pi 2 that runs the os? or a nuc? what nuc are you using?

    • @cncdan
      @cncdan  Год назад +1

      Sorry for the confusion, the OS is running on the NUC! Its a 7th gen i5 but you could use any generation of NUC or any other mini pc in the same form factor with only a small modification to make them fit. I just chose this one as it was the best I could afford on the budget I had for the project! The pi is called a raspberry pi Pico and its a micro controller, not a fully fledged pc like the other models of pi's. It is being used for the controller inputs.

    Will you add gyro controls? they are quite useful for aiming in shooters
    Space on the sides of the screen feels wasted, on one side is an additional display which feels too big for its purpose, something like sh1122 screen would fit better and allow for smaller dimensions(also maybe its a good idea to try and embed it into a ,main screen frame but idk)
    and those two buttons on the left side of main screen- do they need to be that big and if so- do they need to be horizontal? just turning them 90 degrees will save half of that space...
    but in any case, love your content always waiting for sum more interesting stuff
    also glad to see you less tense =D

    • @cncdan
      @cncdan  Год назад

      Yes, gyro controls are on the to-do list. I've left room for a MPU6050 module on one of the PCBs so I will be trying that out soon. I wish I could make it smaller but it pretty much has to be that wide due to the combined width of the batteries and the NUC so swapping to a smaller screen or changing the orientation of the start and select buttons won't help make it any narrower unfortunately!
