vid please and it would be EVEN cooler if you wired/mounted the whole thing internally
yay after a small bit of planning and some soldering i have whipped up a solar panel for the psp . Im not sure if this has been done before but this was my own plan (he,he im so proud ) it still has a lo to be done in later designs but yea. soooo...firstly i grabbed hold of 5 cheapo solar garden lights, wired em up, screwed em onto a plank off wood. Then added a switch and and male plug. Tested it in the sun with a multimeter and whooo 14 volts (this will vary on the day, and the solar lights). Pic of panel belowNext i added some AA 2200mah rechargables to a case thing i had around, and hooked it up to a female socket that fitted the solar panel one.

If you have any ideas for upgrades please say.Next working steps(so far)-Make it charge while psp is playing -Add some D size rechargables for extra time
am I reading correctly that you are charging your psp with 14volts
o i know its cool im just responding to him wondering if he was first. now if this is completely solar powered like it doesnt need a battery and can still play that would be sweet. I'm just saying if its just a charger then its not first but i know I woulndt be able to do this without some research at least gj. sry for sounding like a downer earlier.
Dude, good to see another New Zealander around. Kickass mod too, but to everyone who's whinging about how they thought it up first, using a solar panel to charge the PSP is like replacing an LED. It's such an obvious idea, there's no need for credit.Slimby
okay i will and i also think i will go reread the rules 2 refresh my memory
