Touchscreen + internal (retractable) Stylus mod

Hi there fellow modders,

I guess we all know about touchscreen mods.. some of us succeeded at it some of us didn't.
I realy like my touchscreen and i love working with it, but i often forget to take my stylus (the stylus that was in the box of the solderless touchscreen kit) with me...

So i was thinking, does anyone have an idea how to put some kind of retractable hidden stylus in the case of a One ?

I'll search the web and google around for some ideas.. if i find something i'll post it here.

Greetings..

 

This was my first option...

But i'll have to put the 'cord' around the hinge, and the stylus would be hanging loose on the One..

I also guess it would be a hassle to put it in the sleeve delivered with the One.. and it wouldn't look nice hanging out my leather case i bought from PDAir ...

The search goes on..

 

This is my second option...

I'm thinking of stripping the stylus housing out of a replacement case for the Nintendo DS, and trying to fit it in my One...

Anyone any remarks on this ?

drill a hole in the case and line it with foam to hold the stylus. That's what I'm planning on doing after Christmas.

 

any updates on this?

 

btw i ws doing some looking around for this and this seems like a good stylus..

now just to find where it can go..i will do some looking around my AAO b4 i close it up as i just installed a ts and will post soon..

 

what about this one?

How about mounting the stylus in the left front of the case, a visual mirror opposite of the WiFi switch? The stylus would pull out the left side of the case.

Also would it be a good idea to mount a switch on the stylus holder, so that when the stylus is stored the touchscreen is turned off, and when you remove the stylus the touchscreen powers up?

Suggestions? Feedback?

 

i cant even begin to imagine how that would work, switch? how? oO

isnt the sd card slot on the left side?

i mean i guess you could compromise the fan vents and stick it in there..

 

A micro switch which opens the 5 volts for the TS controller. It would act the same as plugging or unplugging a USB plug for the TS.

Don't have my case open, but I think there is room here as shown in red

 

ahh not a bad idea now got to find a thin stylus and a casing..

 

Here is the stylus I ordered and a possible switch? I will make the housing.

 

so as the stylus enters it will push the switch and cut off the power..? how is it secured as to not drop out? im guessing it has to act like a click pen action cause when you pull it out it has to be a push-pop out manouvre so the ts is activated

 

This is the general idea

 

ahh, so in means off out means on..and how does it remain in? rubber cap?

 

You can get like 5 DS stylus for like $2.
You can make room for the stylus by removing the kingsinton lock under the power button.
