I have the 7 inch variant of this, and while the touch screen works fine on a PC (windows 10) it doesnt seem to work on a raspberry Pi 4. Did you try it on a stock raspberry pi os install (i think bullseye)
Yes, I mention that in this video. I couldn't find a virtual keyboard that worked well. Ubuntu, worked great, but not PiOS. It's a software issue, from what I could tell.
@@WagnersTechTalk Thanks for replying, but this isnt a case of just the virtual keyboard. It literally doesnt register any touches at all when connected to a raspberry pi. I tried a lot of different things from the internet (like changing the dt_overlay settings, even disable_touchscreen, which some people said allowed some other touchscreens to work.) But none of these in any combination got it working. I know the hardware works cause it works on windows.
I'm not sure, I don't own any iPads or iPhones myself. There may be an adapter that might work, but nothing that I've personally tried or can recommend.
@@WagnersTechTalkThat’s too bad. I did search their website for the STL files. No luck. They should have a link to the shell on the page selling the monitor. Too much common sense. Oh well, probably another touch screen option elsewhere.

I agree, interesting that you say that. About 2 weeks ago when I began this review, that was the first thing I sent to Elecrow. That perhaps they could provide an optional shell with a battery pack, and access to the ports to turn it into a tablet. Not sure if that will happen in the future, but totally agree with you. But yeah, it would be a bit of a chunky tablet.
Interesting product. My personal minimum resolution is 1920x1080 though. I won't even buy used laptops with less than that anymore.
Understood, I appreciate your feedback.

is there a 1920x1080 version?
Not that I'm aware of.
Can this be done with the screen of an old iPad/tablet?

Good stuff/ 🎉
I flashed Ubuntu desktop on my sd card and the OS that boots looks nothing like yours. I'm using an orange pi5. What am I doing wrong?
Should look pretty close if it was Ubuntu, even on the Orange Pi 5. Look for a Help -> About menu, perhaps you flashed something else?
@@WagnersTechTalk Maybe it is the wrong version. Are you using the Joshua-Riek version?
I'm very very green😅
10:30 i may be bit blind here but is there a link to the 3D back bit?
You can request the 3D model from Elecrow and they'll e-mail it to you. Not sure if they've added the link to their website yet.
@@WagnersTechTalk oh, ok, thanks

Add battery and charge controller then we have diy Linux tablet.
... Sadly pi double USB A & lan port make it too thick.
