<--My Project--Complete Chaos--I Need HELP--> *UPDATE* FAN

[j.s2ghetto]

Let me get this started 

**what i want to do**
1- ADD SOUND REACTIVE LEDS TO MY PSP ABOUT 42 ( I KNOW THIS IS CRZY)
2- ADD INTERNAL BATTERYS TO MAKE UP FOR BATTERY LOSS FROM LEDS
3- ADD EXTERNAL SPEAKER
4- PUT A SHEILD OVER THE SPEAKER
5- IN THE SHEILD PUT A JEWEL WITH LEDS
6- PAINT MY CLEAR BACKPLATE WITH GREEN CLEAR PAINT

OK HERE ARE SOME PICS



HERE IS THE BACKPLATE AND THE CLEAR PAINT



HERE IS THE SHEILD THINGY I SPRAYED IT MYSELF



HERE ARE THE BATTERY'S I WANT TO MAKE INTERNAL



HERE IS MY CHROME ORANGE FACEPLATE AND SHIELD AGIAN



HERE IS THE SPEAKER AND RESISTORS FOR SOUND MOD 30K OHM AND 191K OHM

***WAT I WANT TO KNOW***
1- HOW CAN I HOOK UP 42 SOUND REACTIVE LEDS TO MY PSP
2- HOW CAN I ADD THE BATTERYS TO MY PSP AND WILL THEY CHARGE
3- HOW CAN I CONNECT THE SPEAKER TO A LM386 CHIP
4- HOW CAN I FIT A JEWEL INSIDE OF THE SHIELD THINGY

*update* ok i was thinking and all those leds and batterys r going to get hot so why not add to the chaos and put in a fan

THANK U FOR UR HELP   

[glenng82]

wow thats alot of leds and batteries good luck

[GhoSt]

dude that is crazy post a vid plz

THANK U FOR UR HELP   

1.  Parallel
2.  Parallel (actually not that easy, it depends on the voltage of the batteries you plan on adding, and the voltage you wish to output from them...) , and they should charge, if you hook em up to the right place.
3.  don't know, you will have to experiment
4.  again, don't know, will have to experiment with scrap pieces...

[j.s2ghetto]

thanks for ur input

and as soon as i finish this up i will put a vid

[cwn723]

if your gonna do that battery thing you should make them external, cause unless im seeing that photo way outof proportions, it aint gonna fit. maybe you can just solder them to like the battery or other power points and use a simple plug in so you can take them out, or in.

[j.s2ghetto]

ya it is a close up pic and they r very skinny

also they r 3.6v so how woul i wire this

[anthonyta]

if i were you and i wanted to wire up that many leds. i would buy a pulseVU at sickmods. since the chip can handle that much with a power extender.

http://shop.sickmods.net/product/PulseVU_2/

not only that you'll have 42 sound reactive and FADING leds

and since all of those leds will connect to your pulsevu. its as simple as 1 switch. and you can easily wire up one of those batteries to it (if its a 5v).

good luck dude and geeze where would you put 42 leds.

[Luke]

errmmm how are you planning to close ur psp

[cwn723]

ya it is a close up pic and they r very skinny

Well... you should just wire them up to the pins by where the battery goes into the mobo. I dont know if it would work, what is the voltage input of psp batteries?

thanx for that tip but i rather do it with out that
also about were i am going to put the leds here is my plan
--> a green and orange led in the o,x,^,[]
a green and orange one in each trigger
a green and orange one in the up,down,left,and right
4 green and orange leds in the jewel
4 green and orange leds in the umd door
2 green and orange leds by the battery cover
2 green and orange leds by the wifi board
and possibly more if they r needed
also i want to wire up all the orange leds to one switch and all the green leds to another same for the speaker   

[Ch4rL13]

mistake me if im wrong but with all those batteries wouldnt it overpower your mobo? even with the leds
i once added to much power to my psp and blew a fuse >.> fortunitly i bridged the fuse which saved me from spending 70 bucks on a new mobo

[j.s2ghetto]

i have been told that if i wire the batterys in parrellel that i should be fine but i am not sure

it would be kind of like this

the ( | ) being the wire connecting the stuff
as long as i don't do this
+ > - > + > - > + > -

but if i am wrong plz let me know and save me the trouble of figuring it out my self

[Nemesis]

im not sure the 42 leds would even react to the sound properly, foo done a job for optix i think and had around 10-11 sound reacive leds wires to two ic chips, and optix mentioned how they didnt even react to the sound properly because it was so many lol

[everlasting_will]

I guess you are planning to feed the lm386 with the +pin of the batteries don't you?

[ryan0]

for the 42 leds thing use a sickmods pulse vu 2 ,theyre really cool ,this looks awesome although the hole in ur umd door looks a bit iffy,other than that this looks gr8 post pics when ur done

1: will not fit

2: remove umd and put it in there and use a switch to switch between them

3: read the tuts

4: sand it down?

OK, 3.6v batteries...  If wired in parallel, they will output a total of 3.6v, with a total amps of whatever the mAh of each of the batteries added together...  If you were going to wire them in series, the total output would be (I count 7 extra batteries) 25.2v, which would require a regulator to be added into the circuit...

And just to shut every one up about complaining about "it won't work...  You can't power that many LEDs...", the fact of the matter is, when wired in parallel, the LEDs will all receive the same voltage, but that isn't the problem, the problem is the ampiers, that is what is really needed in order to run the LEDs, what j.s2ghetto has decided to do is to add the extra batteries in order to deliver more mAh to the unit.  With a standard 1800mAh PSP battery, you could run 90 20mA LEDs for one hour, that's not including running the PSP, just the LEDs, with the PSP on as well, the time would be much shorter...

1: will not fit

Really?  And you know this because you've tried?

There is always a way of doing things, no matter what the  limitations, they can be overcome, that is the whole point of AcidMods!

why should it not fit? he can use an extremly thin magnet wire and 0603 leds dont take much space...

first thanx for ur help and back up

also 5 of the batterys r 700mah and the other 2 r 750mah

for the 42 leds thing use a sickmods pulse vu 2 ,theyre really cool ,this looks awesome although the hole in ur umd door looks a bit iffy,other than that this looks gr8 post pics when ur done

i want to aviod this at all costs because of the matter of space


also anyone know were i can buy some leds for cheap i need 42 and i need to use paypal

[TaSlAyEr]

lol what is this a psp or a christmass tree lol good luck with your mod hope u dont fry your console

[nez]

make sure you make a vid when you turn it on to see a green and orange glow before it explodes.
and that orange glow will be the fire.

i might have to up you i have 100 leds white green blue red and yellow and i might just have to put 50 or 60 in there to out do you. using a slim.
thier is a lot of room on the memory stick side ti stuff things.

[Z3ROmod]

hey y not just map and attack the leds to the case and the just power the lights with the other batt and the just attack the speaker to ur  board and find a small sound sendors used in a lot of small toys and it should still work
and then you just add the fan behind the speaker (as to not mess with the sound) and since sound traavels using air u might get e little boost in trebble.

[Ch4rL13]

sound sendors
jk
your saying to put the leds on the outside of the case? to me that doesnt seem very atractive lol

[AntiBNI]

Where are you gonna put a fan with a speaker taking practically all the PSP back?

The idea of the fan is to put it in the UMD door since from there the air can flow to all parts of the PSP except the battery,cooling the mobo.

I really don't know how you gonna fit all those battery's inside the PSP with all the wire ring of the Speaker and 42 LED's.

If i where u i would put the fan instead of the speaker since the speaker will only drain ur battery faster and that speaker can be made external,your PSP without a fan will climb to like 60-70° with all the battery's and LED's.

lool 60-70 srry but that is some serious bull:censored:, the leds do not produce almost ANY heat at all! and the batteries neither, and speaker doesnt drain the battery life too much, well definitely less than a FAN!!!!

[tripsalot]

sounds cool is it gonna toast bread too?

i am going to put the speaker in the sheild thingy so it won't take up to much space and then put the fan behind the speaker and shield to cool off the batterys that r going to be in the umd drive area

[Electro]

HERE ARE THE BATTERY'S I WANT TO MAKE INTERNAL

Holly! 

Good luck.

Now what do U need help with exactly?
