This is a cool project. I remember having a "tiny" (back then) black & white TV that took like 8 D batteries lol barely could get PBS from the antenna.
Jvc? I’ve got one it’s colour screen about 5” with sw/mw and am/fm radio and cassette player/recorder with karaoke function it’s a high tech thing from a different era it was great to use with a Commodore 64
I was thinking it would be science fiction in 1960, but Sony had produced a smallish TV in 1960 - The SONY TV-8 301. Two year later they made the all transistor Micro-TV 5. Very expensive, heavy, and not exactly miniature. In the 1970's you had real miniature TVs. The gadget in the video is just an ESP32 video player though.
You are probably talking about the ESP32 S3's. In which case no. But the Lilygo t7 v1.5 would work. It has onboard charging but a Micro USB port. In a lot of ways it's the better option.
It's a nice idea. I did think about it. You could break everything down (amp, charging board, D1), even ribbon cable the screen. A lot of people do that and then sell you "their" product. This way though you can make it with a $10 soldering iron. Also, I don't really want to get into hotplates or manufacturing. Thanks for the comment!
I'm going for TV shaped, but it could be in a thinner generic 3d printed case with a total thickness of around 23mm. Pocketable, but not exactly credit card.I'll open source it as soon as it's done so people can play around with it. 👍
@@megazoid Considering that this is really more of a novelty fun thing to have, I'm not sure the form factor really matters that much. If people want a TV that's pocketable, they've already got cellphones that can handle the job.
Simple answer is I don't know. It's trial and error trace sizes based on previous builds of the project. To get the maximum 80 MHz on the serial clock line to the screen (in this project) it seems to need a fat boy trace.
Sorry, I'm not selling them. Tiny TV 2 by Tiny Circuits on Indiegogo is similar if you want something ready made. They have a backlog on orders, but are sorting that out.
@@thefunkdroid2777 I mean, I think he's literal trash and would vote for an inanimate rock over Trump, a drooling Biden is clearly better than neo-fascism that bends the knee to theocratic evangelicals, but you know just seeing his figure isn't gonna hurt you right?
@@hackandtech24 How exactly? You understand I'm asking what it's about yeah? I'm not judging anything nor complaining. I'm asking and giving the youtuber all freedom to explain what it's about 🤷🏼 How is someone a crybaby for asking a question? 😂
It's especially weird, since this guy isn't American by the sounds of things, so his support of Trump means nothing, as he won't be voting. In my experience, non-Americans who like Trump are often keen on seeing his behaviour and attitudes becoming accepted by their own country. i.e being openly bigoted.
All that's missing is a tiny child to get up and change the channels for you!
In these times A remote is cheaper...
@@silverfoenixcan the remote get you a cold beer from the fridge as well?

Yeah but it was soo cool back then to have a "pocket" TV :D
that looks great !
When I was 12 (1960) and I was trying to figure out how TVs worked, this is what I had in mind. A TV I could watch in bed. I'd still like to have one.

@@megazoid The Tube version wasn't light either. Not to mention way over my 12 year old allowance.
very cool
Will it work with the new esp32 with usb-c and charging on board?
You are probably talking about the ESP32 S3's. In which case no. But the Lilygo t7 v1.5 would work. It has onboard charging but a Micro USB port. In a lot of ways it's the better option.
Why the holemounted wroom? The few reg chips etc on that breakout board could easily be on your own board no?

Is this a open source will you sell the parts to built one?
I'm just going to open source the PCB and case. Couple of weeks probably.
@@megazoid amazing thanks!
I think it could be more useful as a flat pocketable device. But I do appreciate the idea and execution.

@@SmallSpoonBrigade People have there own ideas about what they want. It's all good.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade I was thinking along the line of the light phone 2, only smaller.
cool!
Hi love this Project, quick question how did you know the 1mm trace was needed di the software insert it for you?
Simple answer is I don't know. It's trial and error trace sizes based on previous builds of the project. To get the maximum 80 MHz on the serial clock line to the screen (in this project) it seems to need a fat boy trace.
Maybe there's a skin effect at that frequency.
which microcontroller is this?
nice
Looks nice! Can I buy it? :)

guilty!!!!! good work !!!
What's with the Trump print though?
Yeah, the video looked interesting but I stopped watching it as soon as I saw the print.
Lol what a cry baby

Imagine being so wrapped up in a cult of personality smh
