Pip-boy with your own hands. DIY Pip-Boy DIY Pit-Boy 3000

In this article, we will analyze how to make a pip-boy 3000 with your own hands from improvised, one might say, used daily, materials.

To do this, we need plain A4 paper (preferably with a density of 200-230 g / m² ) , color printer (inkjet or laser), scissors, PVA glue,corrugated cardboard and a little patience.

How to make a Pip-Boy out of paper?

First you need to download patterns in .pdo, and to open them, use the wonderful software Pepakura Viewer on this . This program will allow you not only to simply print the diagram, but also show all the relationships between the parts, and also allow you to edit the diagram yourself. The pattern itself is localized and containssignatures in Russian. Once you have downloaded and printedpip-boy,start cutting and gluing the pieces. If you want to make it stronger, for example, to put a phone with an app in it, just reinforce the main parts with corrugated cardboard.

One craftsman made a copy of the Pip-Boy 3000 touch screen wrist computer. This, of course, is not the first such craft, but there is a detailed description for this copy on the creator's website, which means that anyone can make a copy for themselves.

Will Sweetman made a Pip-Boy for a friend, although he never played Fallout himself. He said he wasn't into games, but the idea of building a wrist computer intrigued him.

Having done frame on a 3D printer, Will assembled the rest using readily available parts. Used for screen 4.3 inch LCD display by 4D Systems, which had to be slightly modified to be able to connect a 3.7 volt battery instead of the required 5 volts. Will used a device that not only converts voltage, but also warns of low battery.

As for programming, he was of the opinion that you should try to keep it to a minimum, so that even a person who is poorly versed in electronics could assemble such a device himself. Will said he didn't write a single line of code.

If you want to assemble the same Pip-Boy 3000 for yourself, the creator's website has complete assembly instructions, but it is in English and uses a lot of technical terms. You may have to learn a couple of things about electronics, but it's worth it, isn't it?

Will be out very soon. The fourth part promises to be one of the most ambitious Fallout in terms of freedom of action and the size of the world to travel through. What should an Android user do while waiting for the new Fallout 4 and? You can turn the interface of your device into a Pip-Boy 3000 wrist computer. How to do it? Read under the cut.

To turn the interface of your Android smartphone or tablet into something similar to Pip-Boy 3000, you will need a launcher and additional applications for it:

(weather).

All these applications, including the main launcher, can be downloaded from the links on the Treshbox. First, install the Go launcher itself, and then all additional programs. This launcher and its companion applications have such a great feature as changing themes. Moreover, each program can be customized beyond recognition. We need the following topics:

(theme for the launcher itself).
(theme for the weather widget Go Weather).
(theme for the lock screen).
(live wallpaper).
(theme for Go Contacts).
(theme for Go SMS).
(visual theme for Go Keyboards)
(terminal-style sounds from Fallout for Go Keyboards).

All this can also be downloaded on the Treshbox from the links. You can install all themes in any order. Next, one of the most difficult parts is the activation of themes in all applications and in the launcher. Each additional application in the settings has a section with themes, where you can apply the desired design in the style of Fallout, however, with the Go Launcher, everything is not so simple. Personally, I ran into such a problem that I simply could not find a menu with already installed themes for the Go Launcher. In a special application, it is only offered to download new ones from the catalog. This problem is easily solved: after installing Nuclear Go Launcher Theme Fallout 3k you need to click not “Done”, but “Open” to launch the theme manager. In it, you can activate the design.

Also, difficulties may arise with installing a weather widget with a Fallout theme. First you need to remove the similar Go Weather widget from your desktop, if it's there. Next, in the application settings, you need to select the Fallout 3k GO Weather EX theme (there will be a visual mini-instruction for choosing a theme). After that, on the desktop, call the menu for adding widgets and select the one you need.

The standard wallpaper with the paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel in the Nuclear Go Launcher Theme Fallout 3k does not look very good, to put it mildly, since this design came out a long time ago. Therefore, it is better to replace its PipBoy 3000 Live Wallpaper from the above list. They mimic the screen refresh effect on terminals in Fallout. Also, many people may not like the Go Locker Pip-Boy 3000 lock screen theme. It looks old and the unlocking method in it is not very convenient (scrolling the wheel). Therefore, you can not install it, or not activate the theme. Instead, it's better to set PipBoy 3000 Live Wallpaper to your lock screen.
