I was itching for a project not too complicated when I came across my old prototype that needed some TLC with a broken shell and many parts removed from it for other projects.
https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/priimiium.3699/
Technically just needed a new shell and a new motherboard amongst other small things. I started this project back in 2020 and finished a "prototype" that needed improvements. Tonight, I finished the first build that is about 95% complete, enough to share at least! I have many plans for the future revisions but here is V1, essentially a better prototype until V2.
I wanted to have hall sticks since that is the direction we are going with joysticks and to just keep up with the times. But the star of the show here is to showcase the beautiful new QLED 5" screen, which just came to the market and was the inspiration for rebuilding this bad boy!
Features:
- 5” 800x480 QLED Screen
- Hall Sticks
- Undervolted RVL-PMS 2
- PMS PD
- 8000mah Lipos
- Custom controller boards
- GC+ 2.0
- UAMP
- 3D printed buttons (for now)
- PLA Printed shell in Burnt Titanium (really nice color)
- Probably other things I can't think of since it's late...
Here is the original protoype:
Newly rebuilt:
Pictures don't do this filament justice but gives perfect Dark Samus vibes.
I'll add more/better photos when it's not so late and when fully complete (just needs a few minor tweaks).
To give a better demonstration of the QLED panel, here are some comparison pics with a 4.3" IPS panel (featuring the Aran Mini lol):
Color reproduction is fantastic on the QLED panel with contrast being better as well compared to the IPS.
Sadly, I'm convinced this QLED panel is not IPS, but TFT.
The viewing angle from tilting the screen to look at the screen from the bottom to the top go negative like your standard TFT screen similar to the ZJ050NA screens. But top and sides look good. I think it is still worth it and is kind of like a higher quality TFT screen where the viewing angles are not that bad but not as good at the IPS 5" and 4.3" screens we have access to. I couldn't capture a picture of it but might make a video later to showcase this project.
And of course the current nudez:
