Incredible work!
Buddy you have no idea how much that means to me. Your videos are a true inspiration. Much respect 🖖
This project is so much fun to follow. It's the big kid version of hacking my Playmates tricorder in my parents' workshop decades ago, but with real computer and sensors. Thanks for documenting the progress and sharing your enthusiasm! LLAP
That is EXACTLY how I started on this road 30 years ago. It all goes back to that awesome playmates toy!
Haha, about 8 years ago I *finally* managed to get my hands on one of those. Cost me a bloody fortune to buy from the UK, almost 100 eur w/ S&H.
Amazing job. I will be attempting a build of both tri-corders soon. Gonna be my senior science-fair project!!
Sounds great! Let me know if you have problems.
Since getting one of the 1990s tricorders is next to impossible... you will be mountain man on money hill...
Great job... just magnificent
I finally found one, along with a phaser. The tricorder suffered awful battery leakage but a bit of time in the electronics lab I managed to rebuild it
@@compwiz101 oh I still have my playmates tricorder and phasers. And I know they are all over Ebay.
I meant the mk-I that some science lab produced in the early to mid 90s. It came with a CD to link it to a pc. And could read temperature, barometric pressure, magnetic field readings and a couple other things they squeezed into it. It looked like some prop off tng, but was sort of prototype-ish in look. Flat, non folding and shaped a bit like an old 1800s coffin.
@@tra-viskaiser8737 Oh neat.
Amazing! Great reveal. When you opened it I was not expecting all that. Wow. Well done.
Holy crap... this is the most 'my childhood come to life' moment I've had in a LONG time. As a trekie, a RPi hoobyist, and someone who wants to get more into creative 3D printing, I can't help but be super inspired by your work. Subscribed, and can't wait to see the future iteration(s) of this project, or what you create next!
This is so cool!! I love how stoked you are by this haha.
This sir, is a thing of beauty. I am going want one of these when you finalize.
I absolutely love this! Great job!
Very nice job. I always had an idea of making my picorder prototype more clean and integrated like this. I also considered the 3D printed case and I really like the integrated sensors on the top panel - that's something I would have loved to do.
I considered updating mine, especially as the ZERO 2 is out now as well...... not sure I can face all that soldering again though!
The Pi02 is game changing. I think you should revisit your build man it was a definite inspiration.
You kids are amazing. In my day I had to build my own multiplexer using discrete components
We are standing on the shoulders of giants like you, my friend. Always stoked to hear about the projects back in the day when you had to roll your own! 👍
I'm wicked stoked! This looks freaking amazing 😍. I'm completely in love. Great 👍🏾 job mate.
Really cool. You seem really enthusiastic about it and the work shows! glad it worked out for ya. Soon enough you'll be able to make a functional one. The details are really good. I like how the screen goes through different displays.
Great progress. I‘m impressed.
So impressed. It's like the real thing. Keep up the good work!
Wow!! It's a dream that comes true for any trekker!! Congratulations!!
This is amazing! I want to build something like this without the lights and stuff, purely to use for work. Thermometer, hygrometer, air quality etc etc. You've done a splendid job since the last time I saw this project of yours. Well done mate!
Awesome build! I love it, I've always wanted to make something like this! :D
Possible idea to make the OS more multi-threaded. I haven't tried this but I'd imagine running the python scripts all separately and having them write their latest data to files.
Then having the python script controlling the screen read those files when they change (check modified date every loop/few loops?) and show the latest data from those.
Fascinating 🖖
Wow! Its a dream come true! Please continue working on it an keep us updated! :)
Absolutely outstanding work! I wish you every success for your future endeavours!
You're using Threads instead of forking the process with Python's Multiprocessing module. You might get better performance using Multiprocessing instead.
Incredible project! Your passion is inspiring too.
Can you recommend and good learning resources for understanding multiple threads or processes?
Unlikely. The whole point of multithreading is that it consumes less resources than multiple processes do. The real problem here is that the CPU on these pi zero boards is pretty weak, it’s the same one used on the original raspberry pi. But that said, python is not really suitable for performance realtime apps and coding up the whole thing in properly optimised multithreaded C would probably yield a much better result
Just wanted to update you that I did try this and it made a huge difference on the pi 02w! Thanks for the advice!
Unbelievable! Seriously impressive work man!
Jawdropping awesome
Looks great
Cochrane voice: "Sweet Jesus!"
Hello, Mr. Tricorder! Amazing work, it's absolutely fantastic, looks so good, and what a great concept to begin with. Good luck with the improvements - make it so!!
I think it looks perfectv
im in love! brilliant. I want one
omg, amazing!!! great jobs
Fantastic
That is AMAZING! I love it!
You have every right to be excited about it. You found a way to fit it all in there and it looks and sounds amazing! I'd love to know if it will be able to detect radiation down tbe road lol!
Coming along nicely 👌 😎 😀 pretty awesome brother
So cool 😎 Good job man, you should definitely be proud.
Well done
That's amazing! I need one of those.
Awesome job, dude!
Jeez I am so proud of you buddy :-D
I love it
used this sensors Sentrius™ BT510 Bluetooth, for the Medical tricorder
Really amazing !
I'm curious, are you in Toronto? Also, are you open to a commission? I've got a Star Trek RPG going, and I love what you've done.
Give me a shout at chris@squaredwave.com
Awesome! What would be the next project?
Wow !!!! Cool. Good job.
Love it I had a old vital technologies mark 1 was pretty awesome real working tricorder look it up
I am SOOOO jealous.
this is awesome!!
fabulous!
Fuck this is awesome, i subed! Cant wait for u to finish ur project!
I have a MIGHTY NEED!
I’d love to buy one from you!
have you looked into using a interrupt for the door open signal ? if the door and screen timing was the bigger issue, leading to this performance loss; then doing so would better fix the issue.
Aaaaah that soldering... i guess main thing, it works, but i'm a little surprised that it does. Also what looks like uncleaned solder sputter all over, which is... fine, probably too small to cause any damage.
Go easy I'm learning 😂
Looks great! Do you have an update yet?
Thank you! It's been a tough winter so far. I've been very busy. But I have acquired and installed a Pi Zero2 which has brought SIGNIFICANT performance improvements. Also there is new functionality and features I've been adding, as well as working on the older picorder as well. Expect an update in a couple months or less!
Thanks for asking!
I think you'll have 100X better graphics performance, battery life, and mental health if you switch to the raspberry pi pico instead of the zero.
With a Pico, all the sensors would be more or less plug-and-play. Would make building one of these much less of a headache I think.
let try a Radar sensor with the tricorder
So when is this going to be kick-started :)
Do you have a list of all the things you can scan?
I'd probably pay a ridiculous amount for this. Any plans to sell them?
you really should move from zero w because this thing NEEDS more cores. pico probably would make an enormous difference if you do menu and screen on another process (because of GIL threads wouldn't use two cores efficiently)
Pi02w
WANT ONE!!!!
Subbed!
Have you thought about using a compute module 4? It's faster(If you're still using a Pi 3), smaller and you wouldn't have to use a hat.
I've thought about it, but for this project it was a little too involved. Having direct access to the GPIO header was pretty useful and I'm not sure it would have been as accessible for someone at my novice level to integrate that particular SBC.
Maybe for a future build?
So I’m looking around for kits to build my own blinky lights replica tricorder and you’re building an actual sensor driven freaking real tricorder….. ok then…. Nice!
Put the button pushed into a interrupt loop
It measured color imetry, light, Is plant sex, radiation radiation levels, EMF field, and a whole bunch of other things pretty awesome piece of technology from the mid nineties Check it out vital technologies It was a Canadian company they only made they were supposed to make 10000 but the company ran out of money halfway through production but it was a pretty awesome piece of technology technology
Oh man, I know that Tric well. I wanted soooo badly to have one as a kid. Thats why when I made my TOS style picorder I gave it the TR-108 model number; a spiritual successor to VITAL's TR-107. And this is TR-109. Trying my best to carry on the dream.
Моё почтение
Paramount could have made a tricorder with all the modern technology we have nowadays..
But we cant trust hollowood anymore with our franchises. So we will make the correct ones and annoy them with the tricorder noise never ending..
id like to build that
i'm trowing money at the screen but nothing is happening, i want one!!
Shut up and take my money!!!! 😂seriously how much?
I want one
Can I get one? 😂
