I am sure this topic has already come up before but since I just got into the modding scene about a week ago I don't know all the cool stuff yet.I am getting ready to completely deck out my PSP with some cool mods so I was looking at jewels and I thought what would be cooler then a spinning jewel?

So has someone done it? Can you buy them? Is it possible? If so can you still have your umd drive installed?

Thanks ahead of time for the answer.

grrr someone deleted my post it was the video of the spinner :l

Ok cool, any pics or videos or info you guys got on this would be really cool.

I just found this http://youtube.com/watch?v=Qu0sMp_reZU Anyone know how to do this? I personally think this is very cool.

that is just the back part of the psp attacheted to a fan. it looks cool though

the guy that did those videos ask him how he did he might give u some pointers on how he did it...that what i did if i didnt know how they did it...

I would think it would look really cool if it spun slower, with a spiral jewel and leds.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #10 on:** April 29, 2008, 11:40:45 AM »

mmm i dont know if yo can make it slower you would need some type of motor and a speed controler...or something...seems complicated

TW1NKY · « **Reply #11 on:** April 29, 2008, 07:45:15 PM »

Couldn't you just add a more resistant resistor?

JcBoyCool · « **Reply #12 on:** April 29, 2008, 09:34:05 PM »

Aww come on this is the greatest psp modding site there is and NO ONE knows how to do this?

GhoSt · « **Reply #13 on:** April 30, 2008, 03:28:47 AM »

yes resistor would slow it down, but a potentiometer (or how eva u spell it) whould let you vary the speed the fan making it go fast slow of depending on wat size u use you could also make it switch off.

4dP · « **Reply #14 on:** April 30, 2008, 03:44:39 AM »

you can simply add the fan mod and remove the fan and put the logo on it and cut the door accordingly

thats what i tought

Why do you people think this is so cool? its...Okay i guess, but not worth time or effort in my opinion...

well kinda but its just soemthing to try but im not trying seems it would get in the way too much..

I read some where that the way to do this is to glue the psp jewel to a piece of plastic then glue the plastic to the umd drive motor so then when it spins the umd it spins the jewel. That sound right?

Didn't anyone notice this at first?, I did. I'm guessing that's how he did it, Its really simple

yeah that could possibly work but ur going to have to figure out how to make sure it wont jam when its moving cuz it could possibly get stuck on the back case so better think bout that..mistakes happen especially if u drop then u got real problems fixing it

tmandt · « **Reply #21 on:** May 24, 2008, 05:05:20 PM »

omg yall dont know how to do this? its so simple. all you do is hook it to a powersource on th epsp just like you will do on the tigger mod. but instead of leds he used a small computer fan. black and gray wires! ITS A FAN INSIDE THE PSP WITH THE LOGO ON IT! so simple. hope this helps yall

VoX · « **Reply #22 on:** May 24, 2008, 05:28:51 PM »

We already came up with this theory around 5 posts up, Its pretty simple but I don't really like it

gr8npwrfl · « **Reply #23 on:** May 24, 2008, 09:58:05 PM »

Ok the way to do this would be to use a 5 volt CPU fan for cooling the old pentium cpu they are only 2 to 3 dollars brand new.

Then if you take a 555 ic timer to generate a square wave you by adjusting the on time versus the off time you could control the speed precisely and set any speed you want.

Or you could take the output from AcidMods LED flasher control run it through a transistor with an RC network to adjust the speed and the spining logo would be reactive to your music !

How cool would that be. Or a very simple program for an 8 pin PIC cpu that would let you adjust the speed with some of the home key combinations.

What do you want, I can draw it up for you ?

VoX · « **Reply #24 on:** May 25, 2008, 04:59:07 AM »

I like the PIC idea, I might attempt it some time this week. I've got a bunch of 5 volt PC fans lying around too

H-Sauce · « **Reply #25 on:** May 25, 2008, 09:08:32 AM »

yh i agree using a PIC would be 10x better. if u pull it off i got 1 word...

TUT!!!!!!! lol

Bhawan · « **Reply #26 on:** June 16, 2008, 04:12:53 PM »

hmmm maybe u can somehow connect the psp logo on the umd door to the umd drive and use the motor in the drive to spin the spinner.... just a possible way to do it.....
