We've decided on the direction we're taking: we're going to use clay to create a new Pipboy model, cutting it and crafting it into shape. Then we'll use that to create a mold and then we can produce multiple Pipboys accordingly, with the electrical being done by hand afterwards. The top "box" of...

Sorry for the delayed response, RL stuff going on while I worked out finding some help for fabricating the pipboy facade/body. There is no need to "switch". The pipboy will be nothing but an extension of the functioning controller. If you use it on an X-Box or a PC, the controller and Pipboy...

This thread is not dead, nor is this project, the electronics are still in place, just like before, but the other half of the project and team are still stumped on overall design for the Pipboy itself, both what the measurements will (finally) be as well as what it will be made out of. If you...

Delayed Forums response is due to a failure for the pics to develop (or get sent to me). Also, coming down with something and had to troubleshoot some problems not associated with Pipboy project. Here I am with the new MicroSoft authorized GameStop controller cracked open, upside down so the...

If you read some of the above posts it explains it in further detail. As for the soldering, I ruined a button and discovered the need for at least 2 clamping devices of some sort so I'll be purchasing those tomorrow. Sorry for being incommunicado but been w/o sleep and brain was too foggy to...

7/21/15 update Purchased a soldering kit (this will be my second time ever holding a hot soldering iron so... w00t w00t) 4 buttons, 2 feet of 8(?) strand copper wire and a Gamestop "authorized" Xbox360 controller. My intention for today is to solder the wires to the new buttons. I will open the...

The screen has zero connection to the Pipboy design. Because the Pipboy will be wired directly to the play-troller the buttons, switches, and dials on the Pipboy will be physically linked to their counterparts on the play-troller. The Pipboy "dial" in the above pictures would be wired to the...

The intent is to play the game on the pipboy in the same way as you see the pipboy used in game. Three or four controls to allow item use, list scrolling, and menu switching. The game itself (combat, walking, interaction with NPC's and in-game objects, doors, etc) will be handled entirely by the...

07/16/15 update on arduino vs raspberry vs just wires: the guy (at the electronics store) thinks the simplest way (not involving any programming) would be to simply wire two controllers together. He'd rather run with the arduino if I'm not also building a screen (using a cell phone). The...

Found this pic on the web, it looks like proof-of-concept for the wiring idea. http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/28/playing-xbox-360-games-with-a-wii-remote/ Has anyone any suggestions or thoughts yet?

Self-Declaration: Long time day dreamer, first time modeler. I recently helped pull a V10 out and dumped it into a caddy and that was with no automotive experience beyond fuel goes here, unscrew oil filter and replace. I have confidence now because of the above project. They announced...
