Having it in the Hallway, showing the Solar/Inverter flow chart! A cool overlay that shows how much power we're getting from the sun, using in the house & using from Grid! Helps knowing when to use more or less power :D
@@baby333 thanks for watching and sharing! That’s definitely a way I’d envision how this monitor would be used. Now that’s a super cool way of seeing power generation / consumption to help improve your electrical bill! Are you using a Raspberry Pi to do this? If so what software? I don’t have solar panels at my home but I’m interested to know what’s out there that you can DIY.
@@DevOdyssey Here's how I have it setup: I have a Win10 COMPUTER up on a shelf (kinda hidden), where this Monitor plugs directly to! Then, I am connected to the Deye Inverter WEB, where I am loading it on Firefox with a simple auto-refresh feature every 30 seconds. What's amazing is my Monitor (Powkito) is also Touch, say the internet goes out or Browser crashes and I need to re-scroll down once a month, instead of having to remote in to do it, or plugging a keyboard middle of the house, I can just touch it and scroll down! Another lovely feature for Touch was the ability to perfectly Zoom in to what you want on screen! This is very helpful since the monitor is small , without needing to rely on a program such as "OnTopReplica" to duplicate a SPECIFIC Area to be full screen, I can just zoom in with both fingers just like you're doing it on phone! So in a way, that Monitor is also my mouse & Keyboard in there! :) I just happened to have a Computer up there by the way as it's connected to few things mining related, but If an Inverter Supports MOBILE APP Monitoring, they usually have a way to connect through web, which then any OS/Hardware is enough to make this possible :) looks lovely there now and everybody liked it! The inverter & Battery is like 200m away from us (Good for safety!), it's connected to the Internet/Wifi, and now we're able to PASSIVELY see decent monitoring without having to go through our phones and refresh every few seconds. That and like I mentioned it helps with Bills & during Cloudy days specially, helps PASSIVELY keeping an eye on Battery & looks neat!
Is there somewhere I can purchase a backing (protective case) for the monitors? I want this to be completely portable and be able to put in a backpack without it snagging on other stuff.
Thanks for watching Relakai22! Sadly, I’m not familiar with any specific case you can buy that fully covers the back of this monitor, including protection for the IO ports. You can find cases for the Raspberry Pi 4B that you can put onto this monitor to protect the Raspberry Pi, you just need to ensure that there are holes in the bottom four corners of the case so you can screw it into the monitor back. You may need some risers depending on the case. The only way I can see getting a case is 3D printing one, or contacting the manufacturer to see if they produce one if you don’t find it on Amazon / online. These units seem to be more wall mount / free standing oriented than for rugged portability, though it’s certainly not impossible to use it as a portable unit.
Thanks for watching! I can't say its exactly the same, as I have never used the elecrow 7 inch touch screen before, but if the hardware they use relies on drives that are installed by default in Raspberry Pi OS, or at least available in their package repository, then it should more / less be the same set up progress, and be plug and play.
Hi, sorry for the inconvenience but I have not found anyone who has managed to solve this problem. I installed Prime OS on Raspberry pi4 and it works great, the problem arises when I connect it to my 10" WIMAXIT touch screen. Once the screen was connected I modified the config.txt file according to the vendor's instructions but I can't get it to work. To understand if it was a problem with the screen, I tried to change the operating system, I started the Raspberry with a microsd where I had installed Retropie and I saw that it works great. Do you know what are the settings to make these screens work?
No worries Mattia! Thanks for watching. This is one of those tricky issues I would not be sure about, given it seems the problem is with PrimeOS (possibly with) WIMAXIT touch screen. I'd refer to their forums to see if others have encountered the same issue. I'd also check you HDMI cable and make sure you are using the right protocol cable (ex. HDMI 2.0, 2.1). Have you tried to use any display with PrimeOS on the Raspberry Pi? That should help confirm if any display works.
Thanks for watching Jahanstuddy! I can't offer much guidance on touch not working without additional detail. Are you running Raspberry Pi OS or a different OS? What version of Raspberry Pi are you using (3, 4?) do you have the USB adapter plugged in between the monitor and the Raspberry Pi? Have you done any other troubleshooting? Information like that is good to know as it helps me know what guidance I can offer without being redundant.
@@jahanstuddy1664 thanks for the extra detail. Just to verify, are you using a WIMAXIT Screen in this video? Sadly, I don’t have much experience with Kali Linux on a Raspberry Pi, so I won’t be able to help much. In general, when issues like these arise, it’s usually due to not having a necessary driver. I was able to find this GitHub repository that might be helpful, though it’s a few years old so not sure if it’s what you need. github.com/lcdwiki/LCD-show-kali In addition, for general troubleshooting steps, I’d recommend running the dmesg command in the terminal after boot, where you can investigate the hardware interfaces that are recognized, and check if the associated drivers loaded, and if not, any errors that might give you clues as to what might be wrong. Best of luck!
Sir kindly makes a video on NEMA 17 stepper motor that is controlled by IR obstacles sensor. Kindly use A4988 stepper driver with pi 4. Its a humble request sir
Thanks for watching Savell! I did not get that exact issue when using this monitor, but similar. Using their provided dongles, I could get get the screen to work, specifically when I was booting Raspbian / Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye). I had a mini HDMI D to regular HDMI A cable from a kit I bought my Raspberry Pi with. Using that cable, I was able to see the Raspberry Pi Desktop on my screen, with the touchscreen working without additional configuration. I didn't have to do anything with the config.txt, but I did read on Raspberry Pi's forums that some people had to do this. So I'd first start with using a supported HDMI cable. Hopefully that simple solution works!
Thanks for watching th338. I’m sorry it was difficult for you to follow. The script is necessary for me in order to remember all of my notes I made while testing this product.

Thanks for watching Edgardo! I'm not sure how I would do this with Samsung DeX. That seems specific to Samsung software (their flavor of Android), and its for use in particular when you want your Samsung phone to act like a PC, and using mouse and keyboard peripherals. Doing quick google search I did find a reddit thread that talks about using a Raspberry Pi as a DeX receiver. www.reddit.com/r/SamsungDex/comments/k5z0n6/raspbery_pi_as_dex_receiver/ Is this what you're referring to?
Would you get a Raspberry Pi mini monitor? What would you do with it?
Yes. I would use it to view the video output of my Raspberry Pi with my eyes.
