Bought the same items, and following your guide was a breeze! You are awesome sir! :)
Thanks. Very helpful AND necessary considering the CanaKit documentation was minimal and completely ignored any detailed assembly instructions. Instead, they simply refer you to online references. I'm glad I found your video because despite a considerable experience with PCs, this specific hardware assembly stumped me.
Can you do a review of best RPi screens & cases for automotive applications? Thx!! Love the channel!
Hey man, love your vids, can’t get enough of em. Always looking forward to your next upload! I have a question for you. Do you ever sit down to enjoy your games, or are you more interested in just finding out what can run what? This isn’t a criticism whatsoever. I’ve found myself more amused in finding new ways to play my old games rather than playing them myself. Example: recently running Loz: oracle of Ages, on a gba emulator, from my Mac, with a switch joycon, on a WiFi projector, blasted about 9’ across my wall. I found more pleasure in my setup than actually replaying my game. Is this something you often contend with?
Omg tysm for this I needed this cause I have the raspberry pi 4 and I couldn't find like a back case for my 7 inch touch screen and I saw that its 20$ so I got it thanks for the vid it was really helpful too, my dream is to become a computer science person or own a technology business and this tutorial is helping my dream actually come true :D
Outstanding video!! I am über new to Raspberry Pi and am wondering if there is enough room for a fan and if so where would it be draw its power since the GPIO pins I would normally use are being used by the screen?
Thanks for this video. Clearly explained and helpful.
Excellent review and guide. Thank you for being so thorough. Subscribed.
Very good presentation and thorough testing of all specs. Is there any software for this display that has automotive gauges that is recommended?
This will make a great screen/hub for the raspberry pi based security camera system I plan on setting up
Great recording quality. Great speed of the presentation.
Great review. _And_ you played My favorite game for the Dreamcast.

Screens are a pain in the ass to find at a good price
You can find some 5" HDMI touch screens on AliExpress for around 23 (and cases for 7) which are probably worth a gamble, but there are só many variations it's impossible to find the reviews and gaming demo's that show any potential screen tearing.
Edit: I think it's just for the Pi 2 and 3. the Pi is also mounted the other way around, so there's no room for hats and less room for cooling solutions. A heatsink should fit just fine, but airflow is probably quite restricted. On the other hand, no Ribbon cables or jumper wires as the screen is connected like a Pi Hat with a female header.
Yeah. End up spending like 200 bucks for a full on monitor just to use the pi.
Thanks for making this video! I had my eye on it for a while. What would be the best 7 inch touchscreen for the Rpi4 on your opinion?
The official one
Thanks for the great review. I am all new to this. What would you say is your top 7 inch green to pair with a raspberry pi?
Wow this is the only tutorial that showed the proper orientation of the dci ribbon cable
Excellent tutorial, many thanks.
Thank you for a simple how to. It would be nice if instructions were included!
you're a lifesaver. canakit instructions show the ribbon cable upside down (blue side up). Took me hours until i saw your video doing it opposite of all the instructions i saw online!
This is the most elegant solution i've seen so far. trouble is that screen is very expensive
Video about DAC and Volumio with this setup would be great.
Great review as always.
Thanks, used this for my klipperscreen install
The screen looks like the same one found in the kindle fire 7 from 2014
Thanks a ton! 🎉
Now we just need some shells that hold a battery and allow for a controller to be a part of the case. We'll be good to go.
Also seems good for a Grafana setup.
Sorry I'm a newbie to this but I wanted to ask you what you've used as sound output in this build. did you connect something with the headphone jack or are there built in speakers?
Great video! I gonna save to buy one soon
Where could i connect the fan pins after i put the lcd pins?
Great video. I have a display for RPi4 but wanted to add a speaker to it. Is there a way to do this?
If you have a 3d printer and wire up some basic controller inputs, this could be the basis for a nice little gaming tablet. Plenty of room to put a couple of 5000mah LiPo batteries and an NVME drive inside, if you don't mind the tab being on the THIC side.
Hello. What kind of microphone are you using during this video? It makes great 3d effect for background actions (like keyboard clicking or game sounds).
I got the same screen for a small surveillance camera setup. I found the screen quite bright too, so I changed the brightness from 255 down to 80, that made everything look a lot better to me. The case I use is the SmartiPi Touch 2, this both comes with a fan for the pi, and also ability to change angle or even mount on a wall.
Can you please tell me what camera you are using ? And how you set it up ?
How do you install the fan with this touch screen? I’ve been searching for a while now n couldnt find any answers.
How did you run retropie on there?
When I did your retropie in raspbien tutorial from a couple months ago it didn't work
Hey I'm trying to make a trail cam viewer for some wild life trails cams I got and was wondering if you could do a video on making something like that? I've made a retropi console using your videos and loved that series but never hooked a screen up to a pi to use as a HD card viewer
the best screen tearing test is the intro to Woodward TV
What a F...ing Gooood microphone have you using to record this video....???!!!! I can hear sounds far away become from inside my room, steps, back left, game music from front right.... but they are not from my room, but from your room!!!!! I had remoove my headphones two times to ceck
Any idea how long I could extend those connections between the screen and the Pi? I wanna see about installing this in my truck but keep the screen near the dash and the pi inside the console between the two front seats
So are you going to put shoulder buttons right in the case? That would be slick if this is going where I think this is going.
This screen looks much better than the last one you showed us.
Thanks for sharing !
I own two of these displays. I agree that the colors are flat and the bezel is large. But they work great for all sorts of projects and there are 3D files for them on thingiverse.
Are the 3d files for a cabinet type of thing?
do you have any experience in getting the resolution set different when using this screen ? mine seemed to be locked at 800x480 even if i change boot config file :(
I really want this screen and a case that holds it with active cooling. I then will connect it up to a keyboard and mouse with a battery pack and I now have a portable Minecraft and emulation gaming station
thanks been looking for one that dos not use a deiver
Does this screen comes with speakers? Or you connected external BT for the video?
i saw a extender cable for the sdcard (adafruit?), might help ...
i use a silent cooler from garatronic.fr, might not fit the case and dsi connection cable
I like the speech 💬 of the ending part 👌 ✌
This screen has been out for years. It works well but the main drawback is the low 800x480 resolution. It's a pain if you're doing actual work and not just using it for an emulator. I wish they would release an updated version with 1920x1080 or something. Also as others have said the SmartiPi case is better if not the best.
While trolling around looking for old posts to revive I found your little nugget above. I don't know when but they did release a higher resolution waveshare with a 911 driver. It claims 1024x800 for only ~70ish USD but I'm running it on a 3b (not even a +) at FHD... And
Ye
Does the Ice Tower (original) fit in this (without back panel of course)? If no, does the new low-profile one work? Thanks in advance.
How would 1 power a fan through the gpio pins with the connectors you have? Should i just use a usb splitter? I think my stand came with one. But if i can power both the screen and fan via gpio thatd be pretty cool
G'day! Quick question! Can one use this display with a smartphone over usb c instead of a raspberry pi
Are there any colour, brightness, contrast controls?
can you do an updated video using the raspberry pi 4 as a steam link preferably raspbian
What screen would you recommend for an ASUS Tinkerboard S?
Please do emulation test for Umidigi Power 3.
Thank you for the walkthrough. Could you tell if we can use both this display, and another display with HDMI?
that's the question !
Did the previous version washout too/ video tear?
Hey, do you know if this case supports a fan? I picked one up when I ordered the pi and it doesn't seem to fit anywhere...
Prime i know this off the subject what files do i need for rasberry 4 to read atomswave roms ?
Glad I ran across this video to find out how to rotate the screen, Now then, I have an old i-pad that cannot update past i9OS. How can I use the screen with a raspberry Pi 4 8GB ? Oh yea, I boot my 7 incher (like in your video) from an SSD via USB,
I have the same screen and case in the 3b+ version that i made a picture viewer out of for my wife and have no complaints except that like this version you cant access the micro sd card.
Subscribed. I am new to this. Does work with Noob? I think thats what it's called
My screen was DOA. I'll be back in a few days!
I just picked up this screen for octoprint for my RP3b+. What exactly is the SDA and the SCL do? Those two extra wires aren't mentioned in any tutorial that I am watching but this one.
What about ditching the screen and getting a Micro Projector that should mount into the one case and project onto the wall and use a remote control board to control the unit.
Are you ever going to do an update for android auto with crankshaft?
I'm not waiting to save $5 for this to go on sale. I'm picking one up for $60 at my local Micro Center.
Just picked one up today for $55.
can we use a camera and 7-inch screen at the same time with android os?
is android os has orientation error and is it also easy to fix in android os too?
Thanks for considering my question.
I recommend using the SmartiPi Touch case. I currently use the SmartiPi Touch as a carputer.
+1 I use it as a marine chart plotter.
What screen are you using, thinking about making a "carputer" but i think those bezels looks horrible
@@StaticLowLife The SmartiPi Touch case was designed to use the official 7" touch screen, so I guess you'd have to take the large bezels for granted. Personally I wouldn't choose the SmartiPi case for a carputer unless you would want to mount it on top of a very large fascia.
@@RoaldKoger thats why i basically wanted an advice on what screen to use 🙂
Can I simply hook it up with power and hdmi input from a camera? Will it show the camera real time footage right away? Also what if I was to bypass the 5V to a switch for convenience, will it nicely show the camera footage right away if I turn the switch on / turn on the monitor
so you can confirm with the RPi4 and bluetotth device and wifi all simultaneously connected there are no dropping connections, network lag or bluetooth sudden unpairing? (this was a well known unsolved issue with RPi3 models); have u ran this configuration for an hour or longer to confirm no problems? thanks
What is the different on RPi4 if I connect the green-yellow, or not?
I was never able to play 4k youtube video this smoothly, could you please let me know the sd card and power adapter details.
I could see this being used for a mini arcade cabinet.
I'm running this same setup but only using power and ground from screen to pi 4. Everything seems to work. Am I missing something by not using the other 2 wires?
nice screen prob the best one for the pi 4 but the res is a bit low wish someone would make a dsi one with 720p i know full hd would have scaling issues on i screen this small. is there a way to still use the hdmi with the screen installed?
would the ipega-PG-9083S work with retropie or batocera with this 7in pi 4 set up? what kind of battery pak would work with this set up?
If you put this screen into a smarti-pi case, you don’t need to rotate and the SD is more accessible 🙂
Or if you want even easier access to the SD card get a PiBow case. It's also quite cheap and looks nice. Power cable does go in the top if you use the PiBow case, I prefer it coming in from the bottom.
Where's the music in the intro from?
Hey eta prime I need some help..I recently got a canakit raspberry pi 3 model b+ and I done your tutorial on how to use a keyboard or wired controller before setting up bluetooth wireless devices well I've done all the correct..controller is connected ...for some reason when the game loads up it wont play any of the games I've pressed a,b,start everything it's like it disconnects could you please help me it would be very much appreciated thanks
I had to use this display because it was legitimately the only one I could find that used dsi without taking up the entire gpio.
My BB playbook with mini hdmi port once again to the rescue. First time pi4 user.
Is it necesary any fan with this configuration?
Overclock is possible without fan? Or it get hot?
I appreciated the video, but I went with a 3 for this. Putting a 4 in it seemed less than ideal with no cooling solution on the case. I'm using it as a hardware monitor though so it really didn't need much power.
Man. How did you used it as hardware monitor??? What's the setting? Can you illustrate it please?
Ah i just asked if you could add a fan and apparently not. Guess its time to break out the dremel
@@randallracer If there's a will, there's a way
@@thebat735 yeah i worked on it some last night. Got the holes drilled but theyre not perfectly aligned. All you need is 2 right? Now i gtta make the fan hole bigger and remove tht leaf shaped grill
Any update for 2022? I connected raspberry pi 4 to that LCD, screen was upside down (obviously), tried the lcd_rotate thing - but unfortunately that didn't worked. I read on forums that there are many people that report same problems, that in never raspbian it doesn't work anymore (they tried older images and tada! works). So any solution for that?
Is there any better alternative available which take power from pi only??
where can i find the emulator for the games - is it one for alll the of the systems ?
please let me know how i can add that to my pi. thanks
Is it possible to mount the cast to a wall? I plan on implementing a Pi-based Smart Home Dashboard and want to hang it on the wall next to my front door.
Quick question. Did anyone was able to get rid of the white washout by altering the gamma settings on the raspberry pi? This should help somewhat...
What is providing the sound output?
hey i tried to rotate the screen using lcd_rotate but it's not rotating can someone help me out
What is the best screen and case combo you have tried?
OK very intersant your video. The speaker is externally connect?
Screen has no speaker so yes
Is it possible to get a GPIO connection only screen that is fast and responsive? All the ones I keep finding are very bad and really slow refresh rate.
so i know the pi can send out hdmi but is there any way to make this screen receive hdmi from another source? the pi has an hdmi port but not sure if there is a way to simply communicate the signal from the pi to the screen
Hey do you know about a monitor about that size that supports 8gb pi4? Sorry if that’s a stupid question I’m just learning about this.
howdy, at 6:28 you stated that "it is not the best 7" screen I have seen" . . .can you please tell me what is the best screen you have seen . . .did you do a review of that unit ? thanks much
John
I would like to know this as well
You do have a point!! Lol..
We’re still waiting
still waiting
still waiting
Is it possible to use the screen with a vertically screen?
Can you add a fan to it? Mine runs a bit hot n slows down
How do you get playstation working in retropie? and my retropie is slow on my pi4, slower than p2 why?
