Reverse Engineering the TouchBar Screen + MIPI DSI Primer

This is a collaboration project with Yukidamayaki-san ( / thelithcore , to reverse engineer the touchbar screen and drive it with a microcontroller. You can find docs, code, and board design at gitlab.com/yukidama/schlitzbl.... More reference can be found in the end of the video.

11:36 MOAR OF THIS STUFF:D i haven't had such good time with youtube for long ago... Chapeau bas dude

[@ArtiZirk]

Very impressive reverse engineering!

[@paulkilgannon3043]

Awesome job figuring this out! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@seraphin_creates]

Super underrated channel! Good explanations and interesting projects

[@erik_james]

duuude you are a beast! Man I also wanted to do that a couple months ago but I failed due to the lack of knowledge and experience. Good work bro!

[@ViceChief]

super cool, excellent work

[@dastatiks6182]

Nice job ! Thanks for the video, really interesting !

[@AlvinusRamsi]

Wow, amazing work! Did you already try reading back touch interactions from the screen?

[@nbzwt]

As far as I know, someone else in the community is working on that but hasn't got that fully working yet

[@lis6502]

10:09 and this is what i call hackery. No breakout board? No problem, i'll just grab some enameld wire and slap the shit out if it with adhesive tape :D Much appreciated :D

[@akiko009]

THANKS!!

[@ianhanschen]

Nice.

给力给力!!

[@luyu-wu]

真的太棒了

[@doudlewouzle]

wow

[@ajilful]

Hi, this is great news!! and great work . Thanks for sharing , is it possible to drive the screen from a controller like raspberry pi ?

[@smizmar8]

ok so... queso haha, perfection

I’ve wondered about using a 1st gen iPad Pro screen in a Thinkpad x61 with a custom motherboard. I believe it is an LTL129JL01-A03, which panelook says uses eDP but I can’t find a datasheet. In theory, could I just plug it into something with eDP and it would work? Probably has a weird connector or something though.

Impressive! What model is your Siglent oscilloscope?

After doing re on this touch bar, do you think if its worth doing reverse engineering on third party mpip screens ( Smartphones, tablets) in general to use them in hobby projects?

[@lis6502]

after watching this video i am sure you and i and everyone with opposite thumbs will be able to do so.

[@iogami_raito]

Hello, where can i find instruction (or watch video) how exactly connect touchbar to esp32?

[@king_james_official]

i'm pretty sure the esp32's aren't fast enough to do high speed mipi dsi

[@Kris-ws]

Imma download this video before you go ""missing"" lol

[@lis6502]

reading my mind ;] youtube-dl is a godsend

[@UrbanGT]

I was planning to use the screen for a small project with my raspberry pi. Big F, can't understand 95% of the video. :D
