Functional Pip-boy 3000 Mk IV from Fallout 4

Yes, the Hyperpixel 4.0 Square is the best options for my design. It works great on the Pi, and the resolution is high enough that I can even simulate the CRT scan lines.

Ah, thank you. Just a question, why the square one and not this: HyperPixel 4.0 - Hi-Res Display for Raspberry Pi - Touch ?

The wide aspect ratio makes it too big for the 4:3 screen on the Pip-Boy, you wouldn't be able to have it game accurate.

Thank you!!! I have another very silly question

I got as you suggested the hyperpixel 4.0 Square, but I noticed that unlike other displays like the adafruit one PiTFT Plus 480x320 3.5" TFT+Touchscreen for Raspberry Pi, the hyperpixel doesn't have extra connectors that I can use to attach the rest of the wires. So what else do I need to buy to be able to connect everything to the Raspberry? Thanks again

I am using a RP2040 for all external GPIO and it also can handle analog and run side code much better than the Pi.

Ookaaay
Can you also explain me how to connect to the raspberry pi? Do you have some picture? A diagram is ok too

 

[zapwizard]

The RP2040 is just using serial uart to talk to the Pi.

Hey, so I've got a question. Recently I've been trying to create my own pip-boy, but I'm having trouble trying to fit a Hyperpixel 4 Square in your model, as no matter where I place it, it clips though the thing. So I wanted to ask what LCD are you currently using on this project? Are you still using the Dragonboard pcb? I didn't have time to read the whole thread, but I guess the Hyperpixel is not compatible with the Dragonboard, as I can't find any documentation on how to do so

 

[zapwizard]

I am now using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2, the Dragon Board is effectively a dead product with zero support. I am using the Hyper Pixel 4.0 Square non-touch. The CAD files for the unfinished project are older, but what I have currently is too messy to release.

I have a question, will you add some of the functions that pip-boy from fallout tv series had, like: tracker or setting cordinates?

 

[zapwizard]

That can be done as the screens are somewhat modular.
