Hi Guys,
I claim to have the world's most Pimpt out PSP unit!
The reason for this thread? To see if anyone in the world
has done better with real world hardware mods (excluding non functional LED lighting mods, etc).
The world's most Pimpt PSP Challenge! Art 2007.
Ok folks, here it is! This equipment purpose is to be mounted in an aluminium frame one day
to form a docking station to turn the PSP into a better equipped computer for my purposes
while it is docked in the frame, while still being an ordinary PSP when removed from it,
and therefore able to be replaced if it fails.
From there, simply swapping a single XLR connector allows the use of different serialy connected
devices from GPS units to barcode scanners, PC terminal clients, etc.
The photo above shows two entirely different operational scenarios, the only difference being
the connection of one different connected device, and the running of a different PSP application
that makes use of the connected device.
Common Hardware To Both Operational Scenarios:
Custom Multi I/O harness (sockets for audio out, microphone in, serial transmit and recieve),
Custom 0.5 Watt RMS x 2 Channel class D stereo amplifier wired to seperate Communications speakers.
Tie clasp microphone clamped to mini tripod.
Custom Pseudo RS232 interface biult into female XLR connector.
2x 4x AA battery packs for amplifier and serialy connected device (can both run on single 4xAA pack).
Operational Scenario A Hardware/Software:
Garmin GPS18PC serial GPS mouse.
MapThis 0499 beta (Deniska) running under iR Shell 3.6 (Ahman) so the PSP multitasks the MP3 playlist
and GPS navigation.
Operational Scenario B Hardware/Software:
Symbol LS3408ER Rugged Long Range Handheld Barcode scanner for data capture in harsh environments.
Reads barcodes from as far away as 45 feet, and as close as 4 inches giving it the longest range
out of any rugged handheld barcode scanner to date.
Rapid Data V1.4 (Art) Price checking station simulator feature.
Top that!
Cheers, Art.
