first of all let me say that I dont have any experience with a Raspberry, Arduino etc. at all, and also dont own any equipment yet. This is more a general question to the more experienced members here, so please bear with me if this comes across as a big unfocused

What I would like to do is built a keystand for my girlfriend in a NES case, that includes a function to display random quotes in the cardridge slot on key press. Basically, everytime she leaves the house in the morning she can press a button and a nice random quote from storage will be displayed on a LED. Thats it!

I have read through a lot of post here and other forums, and I found things similar to this (I found a post about random fortune cookie quotes), but those were all a bit more focused on the coding in itself, which is not really accessible to me (i have only very basic programming knowledge, and I am not sure if I have time to learn the basics fully). I am trying to catch up on everything myself, but thought that asking my be helpful. So I just wanted to ask for opinions on the following things:

3) Is there are generally very well regarded resource for such tutorials? I have started reading the "Beginning with Raspberry Thread" here, but just in case I thought it might be good to ask.

We suggest using Mimo HDMI displays for Raspberry Pi since they are plug and play.  However, there are times when USB displays are preferred AND it is possible to use multiple monitors with the Raspberry Pi by connecting both a USB display and an HDMI Display.

Using the RPi 3 with USB Displays is now much easier as the required Kernel components are part of the stock build. You should find that plugging in a Mimo Display into a RPI3 running the latest RASPBIAN build should turn solid green. This is a sign that the display is recognized, and the driver loaded. The green says that Raspbian doesn"t know what to display on it, so these changes below will address that.

Go to directory /ETC/X11 and, using your preferred editor, create a file entitled: xorg.conf. This file can be used to enable the MIMO touchscreen to work with the RPi3 in standalone mode, i.e. without the HDMI monitor. Note that with respect to all instructions that follow, it may be necessary to modify read, write, and execute permissions on folders and files that you intend to create or modify. You may also need to modify permissions on folders that contain files that you intend to modify. This can be done using the “sudo chmod a+rwx filename” commands from the command prompt.

Refer to the definitions of parameters C0, C1, C2, and C3 at the "Calibrating_Touchscreen" website cited earlier. For this combination of touchscreen and HDMI monitor, the total width of the two displays is (1280+1920) = 3200. Hence the calculation for parameter C0 that applies to the touchscreen alone is 1280/3200 = 0.4. Similarly, the greater height of the two displays is 1080. Hence the calculation for parameter C2 that applies to the touchscreen alone is 800/1080 = 0.741. With the touchscreen in the left hand position, the x-y coordinates for the touch offsets are (0,0), so parameters C1 and C3 remain 0.

The PWR will keep on and the ACT will keep blinking when the Raspberry Pi starts up successfully, in case both of the two LEDs keep on, it is possible that the image was burnt incorrectly OR the TF card was in bad contact.

For instance, a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B has a higher power requirement (2.5A) and, thus, necessitates a specific power brick. It will definitely still work, but a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B

The ideal board for the job is the £9.30 or AU$14.96) for the board. To set up and connect the Raspberry Pi, you will need a short HDMI cable and a microSD card of at least 8GB.

Finally, you will need supplies to mount the Raspberry Pi, the monitor"s power supply, all the cables and the female end of the extension cord on the back of the monitor. I used two-sided mounting tape. And I used duct tape to keep the excess cord attached as tightly to the back of the monitor as possible.

Typically, there isn"t enough room to install a Raspberry Pi inside the original backplate -- unless you"re using a Pi Zero W. Even then, the excess cords and the power supply for the monitor won"t fit. The monitor will sit closer to the wall without the back cover, so it"s best to discard it.

Connect the Raspberry Pi to the HDMI port on the monitor and -- without plugging in the extension cord -- connect the power cables to both the Raspberry Pi and the monitor. Use this to figure out the best layout of all the parts to keep everything as slim as possible.

As for the picture-hanging wire, there were no decent places to connect on the Dell monitor I used, so I drilled one hole on either side of the rear bezel that held the back cover on. This is where you might have to get creative, since no two monitors are the same.

Surprisingly, this project doesn"t require any special code for the Raspberry Pi. In fact, it will be running on Raspbian OS, a Linux distribution specifically for the Raspberry Pi.

DAKboard is the web interface used to display all the information on the monitor. It can be set up from the Raspberry Pi or from a computer, phone or tablet.

For background options, you can choose between a host of different sources, such as Instagram, Google Photos, Dropbox, OneDrive, Bing, Flickr, etc. After that, you can connect up to two ICAL calendars for free, select between Yahoo and AccuWeather for the forecast source, add a single RSS feed for rotating headlines, and connect Todoist, Wunderlist or Microsoft To-Do as a task manager to display and add a custom message to the DAKboard.

The idea is that, when powered on, the Raspberry Pi will automatically boot to your DAKboard. If you want to hang the monitor vertically instead of horizontally, you will also need to rotate the display.

First, power on the Raspberry Pi, open Terminal and type in sudo raspi-config. Once in the configuration tool:Go to Boot Options > Desktop Autologin Desktop GUI and press Enter.

Next, you will want to edit the config.txt file to rotate the screen 90 degrees. In Terminal, type sudo nano /boot/config.txt and press Enter. This opens the config file in the nano text editor. Add these lines to the end of the file (without the bullet points):# Display orientation. Landscape = 0, Portrait = 1

Finally, to force the screen to stay on and automatically boot with dakboard.com loaded in Chromium, type sudo nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart and press Enter. Inside nano, add these four lines (without the bullet points):@xset s off

Once the Raspberry Pi has fully rebooted, use a connected mouse and keyboard to log in to DAKboard. Click Login and enter your credentials. Your DAKboard should load with your previously configured settings. If you want to change anything, click the settings cog in the upper right corner of the display (move the cursor to make it appear).

Hang the monitor on the wall and you"ll have yourself a digital clock and calendar, the week"s forecast, important headlines and beautiful pictures on display all day.

DAKboard is a great way to set up a Raspberry Pi display in a hurry. It"s easy and user-friendly and it looks great. However, it has its limitations and encourages users to upgrade to Premium to unlock the best features.

some jokes (dark jokes preferably, because I"m a horrible human being) displayed from JokeApi. I basically copied the example script and started from there.

I recently received a new Raspberry Piand wanted to create an Intro to Raspberry Pi project. My Pi included a 16x2 LCD display and a Wi-Pi Card so I created the Wireless Raspberry Pi Powered Joke Machine. Just press the push-buttons and the machine will look up a one-liner and scroll through it. (Admission of guilt here...I originally thought it would be neat to create a desk-toy that could display inspiring and educational famous quotes...the Joke Machine cando this, but when I found I could just as easily generate one-liners, I decided that would be more fun :-) )

This Step by Step Instructable walks you through the process of setting up a new Raspberry Pi, adding the the PiFace Control and Display LCD, the WiPi wireless and the provided python script TheQuoteMachine.py which looks up jokes and quotes on a free service called iheartquotes.com. it"ll also describe how to access your Pi without need for a keyboard or Display using VNC remote access.

A Raspberry Pi comes with "Do it Yourself Filling", that is you decide what flavor of Linux you want on it. An easy way to do this is to use a NOOBS SD card to install Linux

NOOBS stands for New Out of the Box Software. You can buy a pre-installed NOOBS SD card (what I used for this project) or download your own from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads.

I connected an HDMI cable, power adapter and USB keyboard (no ethernet is needed for NOOBS) When NOOBS boots up, I was presented with the following options to install: Archlinux - a configurable linux distro not recommended for newbies

Next I set up VNC so that I could access my Pi from my normal laptop computer. Vnc is a process that allows me to use Graphical applications without connecting any screen up to the Pi itself.  Here"s how to set it up Install vncserver by running this command on the Pi:

connect from your laptop using the ipaddress and port of the vncserver (and the password you created above) To use vnc when you don"t have a Monitor on the Pi, you can either set up the Pi so vncserver starts automatically at boot time, or connect to the pi by using ssh or winscp to log on commandline style to the Pi and start the server.

Python is already installed on the Raspberry Pi, so to run my Quote Machine script you simply need to Download the script from instructables.com (to your Raspberry Pi)

Now you can run /home/pi/bin/TheQuoteMachine.py  It will connect to the free service http://www.iheartquotes.com and display hilarious one-liners. It does this by running a URL that returns the one-liners back in straight text, splitting the text up into 16 character wide segments and then monitoring the PiFace button events that let you scroll up and down through those segments.

Button 4 is the Quit ButtonInstall Your Quote Machine in a Project Box -steps vary depending on the box you use I used a Sharpie to mark where the LCD display should be mounted on the project box

Im having an issue it might be because I don"t have the pi face installed into it yet but the code Chomd +x /home/pi/TheQuoteMachine.py it doesn"t work I tried to run it in the terminal and python0

Nice one , I was also struck with same idea to create something called "words of wisdom" with Pi. But I would rather like to use C for programming Pi. I"m using WiringPi for GPIO control , can you plase tell me is it possible to replicate that with C. Thanks0

This is a really cool idea! I like the prospect of the joke machine. I had an idea for another function. I am thinking about taking your design and making a Fortune Cookie Machine. I found this little metal fortune cookie at a bookstore and I thought it would be cool to make a device like this and attach the metal cookie thing to it and make it generate fortunes. I have not worked with a Raspberry Pi yet, but I think this would be a really cool project to start working with it, when I can spare some cash to get supplies.

thx! I"d like to see what the fortunecookie looks like. The website I get jokes from also has fortunes. You could find a thermal printer and print them out! surplus stores sometimes have them as old credit card machines. use a model a pi to save some money and store the quotes on the sd card to reduce the need for the Wii pi csrd. Good luck!0

Both the display driver board and the Pi need power- you can bridge them using the red and black jump wires supplied from the 5v and GND on the display driver board to the 5V and GND on the Pi ( find them here: http://pi.gadgetoid.com/pinout ) then plug the power into the display board.

If your touchscreen or display doesn’t work, triple check the FPC connectors - I’ve tested a lot of “not working” LCDs to find them working perfectly. In all cases the cables should be pushed in firmly and the clips secured fully- the larger FPC for the display ribbon takes quite a bit of force. I’ve posted a guide to the FPC connectors here: http://forums.pimoroni.com/t/raspberry-pi-official-7-touchscreen-assembly/1132

If you’ve got any reservations about connecting wires to your Pi’s GPIO, I recommend our split dial microB USB power cable: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/split-microb-usb-power-cable

Make sure you update your Pi first, you’ll need the latest software and the Raspbian OS in order to drive the screen. A full reinstall of Raspbian Jessie works best, you can find it here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

Follow the linked Installation Guide, and make sure you go into Menu -> Preferences -> Raspberry Pi Configuration and expand your filesystem when you first boot up your Pi.

There’s no better place to learn everything you might need to know about the screen than the Raspberry Pi blog post which you can find here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/the-eagerly-awaited-raspberry-pi-display/

This is unfortunately a side-effect of many developers assuming a minimum screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels. You can usually reveal hidden buttons and fields by;

Yes and no. As explained in the official Pi blog on the subject, only applications which know how to output over HDMI can be used. An example is given for OMXPlayer: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/the-eagerly-awaited-raspberry-pi-display/

It is possible to use both display outputs at the same time, but it does require software to choose the right display. Omxplayer is one application that has been modified to enable secondary display output.

Please note, you may need to increase the amount of memory allocated to the GPU to 128MB if the videos are 1080P, adjust the gpu_mem value in config.txt for this. The Raspberry Pi headline figures are 1080P30 decode, so if you are using two 1080P clips it may not play correctly depending on the complexity of the videos.

Currently you can’t run a dual display X desktop, and we don’t know when or if this will be possible. If you know how to make it happen, you can chime in on this thread: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=120541

Note: An update has been pushed to Raspbian to flip the screen ( rotate it by 180 degrees ) for a better desktop viewing angle. This makes it upside-down in our stand and the official Pi stand, so you’ll need to change a setting to flip it back.

With the software updated it’s actually reasonably straight-forward to get the touchscreen working with a Model A or B Raspberry Pi. First you must make two additional connections between your Pi’s GPIO and the touchscreen: these are the SDA ( http://pinout.xyz/pinout/pin3_gpio2 ) and SCL ( http://pinout.xyz/pinout/pin5_gpio3 ) lines ( which you can connect using the supplied green and yellow wires ).

Note: This will give your i2c over to the Pi for running the LCD/Touchscreen and you wont be able to use any other i2c devices or add-on boards which require i2c.

If you absolutely need an extra 10 degrees of vertical viewing you can fit a Pibow Coupe to the back of the LCD screen and remove the legs. This lets it rest slightly further back while still remaining stable enough for everyday use. It also fits pretty neatly into a bag, too.

If you get a black screen, it likely means your DSI cable ( the one between the Pi and the driver board ) isn’t seated correctly or is… backwards ( I’m not even sure this is a real thing! ). We’ve had some success reversing the cable in this case- switching which end plugs into which part.

I’ve tried a number of USB cables from the USB port on the LCD driver board to the power input of my Pi and have invariably seen the little rainbow square indicating undervoltage in the top right hand corner of the LCD. (Note: This has seen been updated to a lightning bolt indicating the same)

I have put together a prototype split cable, and we’re looking into sourcing microUSB cable splitters to use in conjunction with the official Pi power supply as the most reliable solution.

Chris_c on the official Pi forums has discovered how to enable right-click with a simple configuration change. This allows you to press and hold on the touchscreen to trigger a right click.

As Clive demonstrates below, you can make a much more compact setup by flipping your Pi and mounting it with the ports facing towards the back of the LCD.

A standard GPIO ribbon cable will not fit between the two metal risers, so it’s impossible to route a Black HAT Hack3r or Cobbler out from the display in this position, but there might be cables out there that fit.

Gasp! Okay, I can see why you’d want to do this! I couldn’t put it better than the great step-by-step forum post here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=120793

You can find a technical drawing with dimensions of the display and mount hole locations here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/tree/master/hardware/display

Make sure you mount your screen by screwing, gently, into the mounting holes either side of the metal frame, or for the driver board. Don’t attempt to mount the screen by the glass front. The tape bonding the glass to the rest of the screen isn’t designed to carry the weight of the screen, your Pi and whatever else might be connected.

The Compute Module IO board (for CM and CM3) includes a connector for the screen, see: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/computemodule/cmio-display.md
