K-Jintiq, a 15" IPS modded into Intuos 3 A4

[cartoonmonkey]

Great build! I'm going to try and build a tablet for a buddy of mine, with a similar setup! I already have an old wacom tablet, and mmmaaayybee the right lcd..
Thanks!

Everything, greetings!

I want to make k-jintiq.

Some questions:

These accessories, it is all that is necessary? -
1.RM 5451 controler (NJTOUCH)
2.IPS panel from IBM notebook LG-Philips LP150 E05-a2k1
3.Wacom intuos 3 a4 (9x12) (plz930)
4. 2 Tecmo RF boxes holding the invertor and controler

Or something is required still? It is the correct controler, or you used another in the final version? CCFL already enters into a set with IPS the panel?

Thanks!

Hi indeed that was all that is needed
The CCFL was only because we broke the original one in the screen. You do not need to buy an extra one.

Excuse for the bad knowledge of language.
How to get rid of cursor trembling?
For the first time used monitor Rover Optima, a matrix, the inverter and the controler. Tremblings weren't. As a result has broken a matrix.
In the second time used Samsung SyncMaster 540b. All is excellent, but the cursor (to 5 mm) strongly shivers.
I do not know what to do (((

play with the monitor frequencies.

Спасибо 
Я тоже об этом подумал.
Завтра буду пробовать, отпишусь в соответствующей теме.

Сделал экран для всех деталей. Лапы тоже заэкранировал перфорированной фольгой. Все экраны заземлил. Понизил частоту монитора.
Дрожания нет, изредка дернется на 1 пиксел.
При разрешении 800х600 дрожание отсутствует полностью.
--------------------
Has made the screen for all details. Lamps too has shielded the punched foil. All screens has grounded. Has reduced frequency of the monitor.
Tremblings aren't present, occasionally will move on 1 pixel.
At resolution 800х600 trembling misses completely.

No problem!

[ciberpol]

You use what glass for matrix protection?
If to use too thin (or not to use it generally) on the screen waves float and it is possible to damage a matrix.
If to use thick, very big distance from a pen to the image.

Hi guys!

I just discovered DIY Cintiq few days ago and I'm very excited by this fresh new DIY project! Congratulations to all of you guys for your nice DIY Cintiq !

I found Hieron & Kareltje's project being quite interesting because the combination of the Intuos 3 A4 with the LG-Philips LP150E05 seems to make a great couple, with no jitter and good colors.

Hieron, Kareltje, I have a few questions regarding the top cover of your Jintiq.

- Is it made of a unique piece of transparent plastic cover? If not, does it cover only the LCD screen?

- What type of plastic is it?

- Which thickness is it?

- Don't you have too much issues with scratching the transparent plastic cover with the pen ?

- When pressing the pen on the cover, does it makes the cover to touch the screen?

- Would be a glass piece be better instead of plastic for top cover ? (except the fact that it would be heavier)


Thanks a lot for your answers !

I'm interesting in making this as well. What size RF boxes should I order?

Hi sorry bit busy with other stuff, sorry for the late reply.

The transparent cover is the original intuos cover, just stripped all the paint of of it.
The cover doesn't scratch all to much, we tried a special cover but didn't work that well. The feel wasn't right.
Yes if you press really hard it touches the screen, we just don't press all that hard
No clue if glass would work better. It would make the whole build more complex though, you would need to fit the glass in the right position and everything.

Euh sorry don't know the exact order number anymore. Just order the size which fits your vga controller I guess.

[eqsOne]

Damn. Now that I'm through your thread I guess I have to upgrade my CinTriq to a new Version with an IPS panel. Great work, dudes. And a really great log of the things you've done. Good god, my wife will kill me.. I definely have to stop reading around here

[bernard]

"Wife" or "IPS panel" -- that is the question.   

[eqsOne]

Ugh, yep it's gonna be the IPS.. in fact rather a whole new build. I will just have to assemble everything at night.  

edit: Since the middle cut-out of the inner plastic section is made bigger than the screen actually is, how did you manage to keep the screen from slipping around inside? Is it just the slight 'pressure' from the top surface that keeps it in place?

btw. the panel just arrived  


EDIT: Alright, I fixed it with a Duplo brick, seems to work out well.
