I'm still saing that the Blackberry hack was an inside job. If i'm ever getting to build a Pip-Boy, i'm going with an Raspberry Pi to use it as a real computer. Maybe then i get some DIY home automation to controll with it. What about the idea to put the Pip-Boy on the shelf and have it playing a longplay without commentary. Like the attract mode in a pinball cabinet.
@@YourGeekFix Have you found anything similar by chance in the last 2 weeks? (If you have been looking) I was looking a day or 2 after your comment and never seen them below 89.99 for broken / stuck / parts. Most places I look for parts are actually higher too - $120 -- $180, sadly. Thanks again for the awesome build videos.
got me wayback with fallout 4 for 150 bucks the green army painted pip boy and for 90 dollars an old smart phone what fitted in very well. i believe with fallout 76 there was another pip boy model coming out as a radio , same price. got me the T52B Helmet instead since my budget is usually quite small.
Where did you happen to get the replacement screens? I have a passport with a cracked one but I can’t find any for under 40 bucks online from most retailers, and they usually don’t have the longer ribbon
It's a long time after the video was uploaded, but I have to ask do you have the Pip-Droid app shown off in the Video? The Fallout 3/NV inspired ui would be perfect for my Own Pip-Boy I'm building and I can't seem to find the apk anywhere floating around. I also don't see it in the Description
Is there an “official” measurement for the interior dimensions of the wand company pip boy screen? I’ve been looking at a 4 inch by 4 inch LCD but it seems like it may be a tad small
There is. It is tricky. Do you have the kit. The tricky part is I learned there is a minor difference between the newer special edition models and the original.
I think I asked before, but will it have working dials, and all that like would it affect the screen or would they but unusable/ do nothing still. I am still writing this before the vid is done so ill delete this if its mentioned.
I really was hoping you’d use a raspberry pi and kind of make it like the Bethesda Pip boy 3000 mk iv, where you actually utilize the buttons and knob. Understandable that it’s difficult, just an idea
I did use the buttons and knob. Did you see video 3. Also, raspberry pi would not be as powerful and able to do the things I wanted it to do. We do have the 3000 with raspberry pi we made with spirit halloween version. Raspberry pi workgroup also made one open source.
Absolutely loved the three parts so long! thank you it's been a blessing thus far.
Good. I'll be releasing more soon!
I can't wait for this series to continue!
@@TheEvilTH-cam soon!

We could do that
Woo love it every time you do something regarding the fallout franchise😎👍
Wow, thanks!
Great work! Keep it up!!!
Thanks
So crazy how quickly the blackberry passport jumped in price. Went to go grab one and they're over $150 now. Absolutely insane 😢
Just got one for 29. Look for broken stuck on wifi.
@@YourGeekFix Oooo! Okay. I'll check for that 😎

@@davidbridge2118 ask the seller if they will take an offer for parts.
@@YourGeekFix Got it. I will look into that; thank you!
I need an update! This project is so cool, love your stuff man!
Thanks. I will be turning out the next steps in June. Sorry I have been busy.
@@YourGeekFix all cool, cant wait
Can we get the link to Esso Bregor's alternative way of installing the screen?

Hey there! Any plans on releasing the next phases?
Yes. In June. Had to change order of instructions.
got me wayback with fallout 4 for 150 bucks the green army painted pip boy and for 90 dollars an old smart phone what fitted in very well.
i believe with fallout 76 there was another pip boy model coming out as a radio , same price.

Understood

I get them for 10-15 on ebay.
I wanna build one with a orange pi. Just not sure if it'll be with an opi 5 pro or the zero w 2
They ate both too wide.
The links in description are no working 😢
Which item are you trying to access
@@YourGeekFix all, except Fallout Shelters.
@@AludragDragonair oh.

It will be released soon by James. I'll post when available.
No more episodes for the pip boy?
In June. Big things happening.
Does this work for other blackberry devices or only passport? Passport price skyrocketed but there's others like the leap
@SwaydeGibler only the passport.

@@YourGeekFix no kit yet, but keeping an eye out for one! In the meantime I’m collecting components and may 3D print one out of resin as a standby
@@ethanwyant5202 printing one out take care of size problems
@@YourGeekFix Oh definitely, but I would love to scale it to as close as I can to the wand version (hence the screen size question)
@@ethanwyant5202 Understood
now that the fallout shows out... ive just realized... you look like Dr. Siggi Wilzig (the scientist) from the fallotu show
That's a bummer.
@@YourGeekFix how is that a bummer lol
i need the next part lol
Sorry! I have been a little unavailable. I will be completing the next steps in June.
Great to see you again!
As well, you.

I have a mod that does that you may have seen in my other video, but you have to use the Geiger counter for it.

Any chance of getting an apk for pipdroid?
I'll check with James
@@YourGeekFix fingers crossed James comes through!🤞
@@RamsHeadRepair I'll hit him up.
Yeah that 76 style Pip Boy was sick, would love to see if we'd be able to get the APK

Yup. I didn't think about the fact it needed to be powered first and describe how.
wow zee complex.
Not really.
