But now i have a question: Is it possible to connect a for example 2 inch screen with the raspberry pi? Maybe a TFT-Display out of a mobile phone for example.

Any chance this could work with Raspberry Pi? I don"t have any experience with screens like this, but I want to use it as a simple music control system.

This video demonstrates one of those tft screens being replaced with the Sega Nomad"s original screen. (which is what that tft is mostly used for from what I"ve seen)

Any chance this could work with Raspberry Pi? I don"t have any experience with screens like this, but I want to use it as a simple music control system.

It has the right connection methods: usb and RCA. My only concern is the drivers for the touchscreen, it only comes with windows drivers.Min order 50pcs..

Too bad there"s no indications about price, minimum order, samples, etc... I would expect it being... "cheap", that is, under 60£, but I really don"t know. If only someone would take some time and write them...

I"ve got a great little 7" touch-screen left over from a failed CarPC project... just waiting for a RaspberryPi to bolt onto the back of it! Can I place my order yet?

he is simply asking if he can pre order the R-Pi and the short answer is no. They say it SHOULD be available next month. But they have been pretty quiet about specifics for some reason and I don"t think it is even in production yet because they are still making changes.. soo :/ don"t know what the deal with that is.

Rather than plug your Raspberry Pi into a TV, or connect via SSH (or remote desktop connections via VNC or RDP), you might have opted to purchase a Raspberry Pi touchscreen display.

Straightforward to set up, the touchscreen display has so many possibilities. But if you"ve left yours gathering dust in a drawer, there"s no way you"re going to experience the full benefits of such a useful piece of kit.

The alternative is to get it out of the drawer, hook your touchscreen display to your Raspberry Pi, and reformat the microSD card. It"s time to work on a new project -- one of these ideas should pique your interest.

Let"s start with perhaps the most obvious option. The official Raspberry Pi touchscreen display is seven inches diagonal, making it an ideal size for a photo frame. For the best results, you"ll need a wireless connection (Ethernet cables look unsightly on a mantelpiece) as well as a Raspberry Pi-compatible battery pack.

Several options are available to create a Raspberry Pi photo frame, mostly using Python code. You might opt to script your own, pulling images from a pre-populated directory. Alternatively, take a look at our guide to making your own photo frame with beautiful images and inspiring quotes. It pulls content from two Reddit channels -- images from /r/EarthPorn and quotes from /r/ShowerThoughts -- and mixes them together.

Rather than wait for the 24th century, why not bring the slick user interface found in Star Trek: The Next Generation to your Raspberry Pi today? While you won"t be able to drive a dilithium crystal powered warp drive with it, you can certainly control your smart home.

In the example above, Belkin WeMo switches and a Nest thermostat are manipulated via the Raspberry Pi, touchscreen display, and the InControlHA system with Wemo and Nest plugins. ST:TNG magic comes from an implementation of the Library Computer Access and Retrieval System (LCARS) seen in 1980s/1990s Star Trek. Coder Toby Kurien has developed an LCARS user interface for the Pi that has uses beyond home automation.

Building a carputer has long been the holy grail of technology DIYers, and the Raspberry Pi makes it far more achievable than ever before. But for the carputer to really take shape, it needs a display -- and what better than a touchscreen interface?

Setting up a Raspberry Pi carputer also requires a user interface, suitable power supply, as well as working connections to any additional hardware you employ. (This might include a mobile dongle and GPS for satnav, for instance.)

Now here is a unique use for the Pi and its touchscreen display. A compact, bench-based tool for controlling hardware on your bench (or kitchen or desk), this is a build with several purposes. It"s designed to help you get your home automation projects off the ground, but also includes support for a webcam to help you record your progress.

The idea here is simple. With just a Raspberry Pi, a webcam, and a touchscreen display -- plus a thermal printer -- you can build a versatile photo booth!

Projects along these lines can also benefit from better use of the touchscreen. Perhaps you could improve on this, and introduce some interesting photo effects that can be tweaked via the touchscreen prior to printing?

How about a smart mirror for your Raspberry Pi touchscreen display project? This is basically a mirror that not only shows your reflection, but also useful information. For instance, latest news and weather updates.

Naturally, a larger display would deliver the best results, but if you"re looking to get started with a smart mirror project, or develop your own from scratch, a Raspberry Pi combined with a touchscreen display is an excellent place to start.

Many existing projects are underway, and we took the time to compile six of them into a single list for your perusal. Use this as inspiration, a starting point, or just use someone else"s code to build your own information-serving smart mirror.

Want to pump some banging "toons" out of your Raspberry Pi? We"ve looked at some internet radio projects in the past, but adding in a touchscreen display changes things considerably. For a start, it"s a lot easier to find the station you want to listen to!

This example uses a much smaller Adafruit touchscreen display for the Raspberry Pi. You can get suitable results from any compatible touchscreen, however.

Alternatively, you might prefer the option to integrate your Raspberry Pi with your home audio setup. The build outlined below uses RuneAudio, a Bluetooth speaker, and your preferred audio HAT or shield.

Requiring the ProtoCentral HealthyPi HAT (a HAT is an expansion board for the Raspberry Pi) and the Windows-only Atmel software, this project results in a portable device to measure yours (or a patient"s) health.

With probes and electrodes attached, you"ll be able to observe and record thanks to visualization software on the Pi. Whether this is a system that can be adopted by the medical profession remains to be seen. We suspect it could turn out to be very useful in developing nations, or in the heart of infectious outbreaks.

We were impressed by this project over at Hackster.io, but note that there are many alternatives. Often these rely on compact LCD displays rather than the touchscreen solution.

Many home automation systems have been developed for, or ported to, the Raspberry Pi -- enough for their own list. Not all of these feature a touchscreen display, however.

One that does is the Makezine project below, that hooks up a Raspberry Pi running OpenHAB, an open source home automation system that can interface with hundreds of smart home products. Our own guide shows how you can use it to control some smart lighting. OpenHAB comes with several user interfaces. However, if they"re not your cup of tea, an LCARS UI theme is available.

Another great build, and the one we"re finishing on, is a Raspberry Pi-powered tablet computer. The idea is simple: place the Pi, the touchscreen display, and a rechargeable battery pack into a suitable case (more than likely 3D printed). You might opt to change the operating system; Raspbian Jessie with PIXEL (nor the previous desktop) isn"t really suitable as a touch-friendly interface. Happily, there are versions of Android available for the Raspberry Pi.

Just wanted to know if a small LCD/LED screen will be made available?  Are there screens out there that can be plugged directly into the DSI connector on the board?  Would they need auxiliary power?  How about touch screens?

Just wanted to know if a small LCD/LED screen will be made available?  Are there screens out there that can be plugged directly into the DSI connector on the board?  Would they need auxiliary power?  How about touch screens?

Don"t quote me on this one, but I believe parallel connections are not available on the Pi. Too few pins, for starters. USB->Parallel adapters might work, but it really depends on the adapter, I"ve heard only bad things about USB->Serial ones, so it"s probably a long shot.

Now, I"ve read in the Wiki there seem to be a few options, namely the N900 replacement screen, which connects via DSI, and also has a touchscreen (via I2C, I believe). But, again, don"t quote me on this one, check the Wiki, please.

HD4478 interface; and can work in 4-bit mode.  It would require a minimum of 6 GPIO (4bits + E + S).  You will only get a 16 character by 2 line display.

I"m assuming that kind of setup would completely use up the GPIO connector, leaving only SPI/I2C to serve as input, right? (I"m thinking 12-key or less keypad) Way out of my league, but it would be a cool use as an alarm clock, music player, door keypad and the likes.

Furthermore, some of these screen are sold with a conversor to I2C or SPI interface, so you probably can connect them directly to RPI suitable port. I used them in Arduino projects.

There are a lot of chips to convert USB to serial; in several projects there is a PIC microcontroller that do this. I"m thinking it could be possible make a "custom" USB interface that can control specific controller display. My doubt is just the speed: is it faster the SPI mode or the USB (converted) way?

That being said, while I don"t know whether SPI is faster than serial-over-USB or not, do keep in mind that USB is a shared bus, and in the RaspberryPi you can end up sharing the bus with the serial adapter, a keyboard and mouse (or whatever input devices you end up with) and the Ethernet port (which runs over USB), plus whatever other stuff you want to connect to it.

While bandwidth should not be a problem (unless you connect an HDD to the USB bus too), latency and increased CPU usage can become a problem, since you"ll need many more context switches on the bus to drive the screen (not to mention the adapter can be "dumb", which means the CPU may also actually need to handle the serialization tasks, like most USB DSL modems...).

There is an Open Source Project called LCD2USB from Till Harbaum. Only a ATMEGA8 and some external parts like Z-Diodes, crystal oszillator and stuff like that:

I"m thinking it could be possible make a "custom" USB interface that can control specific controller display. My doubt is just the speed: is it faster the SPI mode or the USB (converted) way?

It depends on the display (if it is fast enough to refresh the screen). The cheap ones are not very fast, so you could even use it with I2C. SPI on some micros have at least 1MBit/s half duplex (but I never tried it). USB is fine even for the 128x64 pixel GLCD I have with GLCD2USB. It"s because the display is not so fast in refreshing the screen!

PICAXE already produce a dedicated PIC and board to mount on the rear of OLED / LCD panels .. and this is set up to receive data as a 1-wire (plus +5V/0v) serial data - at logic levels.

Ok, what I mean is to make a "standard" interface for Rasp: once connected the interface (via USB, or GPIO, or other way) I just need to select the display controller, then plug display.

I know I can"t use a 7" LCD panel (or smaller).... I don"t remember the correct word.... instead RGB or HDMI monitor beacuse I couldn"t have enaugh bandwidth or speed, but isn"t this my aint.

connect such a display (with adapter). The display and adapter are finished. I hope to be able to start working on the GPIO adapter tomorrow morning. Then add a little software and we"re good to go.

How about the following suggestion. Once I get the display working the first to prove to me that you have a "pi gets to test-drive this for free. The proving you have a "pi can start now. I"ll post here that the test-drive-sample has been claimed once someone has sent proof of "pi .

(*) Note that I"m a techie, so I"m optimistic things will work out first attempt, just like the foundation has promised shipping pi"s before end of 2011.

Adding a small LCD touchscreen to Raspberry Pi seems like a terrific idea (see the "Choosing a Touchscreen" box) – until you realize that the default desktop environment is not optimized for tiny displays. The tendency of programmers to design for an old-style computer desktop means launching applications and performing actions on a tiny touchscreen is often fiddly at best. In most cases, though, you might just be using the touchscreen for a few specific tasks, and building your own graphical interface might seem like too much trouble.

Several LCD touchscreens for Raspberry Pi are available on the market. The PiTFT 2.8-inch 320x240 panel from Adafruit [3] is available through several web stores. You can also buy a stylish PiTFT Pibow case [4] for it. You"ll find a wealth of documentation on installing and using PiTFT on Adafruit"s website [5]. RPI-Display from Watterott [6] is another good option – especially if you are based in Europe. Watterott also sells an enclosure for the Raspberry Pi and RPI-Display combo [7], and all the required software (including an SD card image) is available in the RPi-Display GitHub repository [8]. It"s also possible to find a decent touchscreen for Raspberry Pi on eBay, but make sure it comes with the required software.

Enter PiMenu [1] – a simple solution written in Python and TkInter that lets you build tile-based graphical interfaces with consummate ease. PiMenu was originally designed by Andreas Gohr of DokuWiki fame for his paper backup project [2]. Thanks to its simplicity and versatility, however, PiMenu can be easily adapted for any other project requiring a simple graphical interface.

command to make PiMenu work on Raspberry Pi. Then, grab the latest release of PiMenu as a ZIP archive from the project"s GitHub repository, or clone the repository using

PiMenu consists of three key parts: the pimenu.py Python script that draws the GUI, the pimenu.yaml configuration file that defines menu items, and the pimenu.sh Bash shell script that performs actions based on arguments received from pimenu.py.

For each menu item specified in the pimenu.yaml configuration file, PiMenu draws a tile, and the main script automatically resizes tiles to fit them in the window. The tiled interface is inspired by the Windows 8 design, which actually works pretty well on Raspberry Pi. In the pimenu.yaml file, you can specify a hierarchy of menu items, so you can create a rather elaborate menu structure.

I don"t travel as much as I would like to, but when I do, I take a lot of photos. And I always wanted to build a Raspberry Pi-based backup device to keep my precious snapshots safe while I"m traveling. PiMenu was the missing piece required to bring this idea to fruition. Ideally, the Raspberry Pi-based backup box should perform several tasks, such as transferring photos directly from a camera or a card reader and backing up the transferred photos to a USB storage device.

The first order of business is to edit the pimenu.yaml file to include the required menu items (Listing 1). Each menu item in the configuration file has four properties: mandatory name and label as well as optional color and icon. The icon refers to the name of the appropriate icon in the GIF format stored in the ico directory (e.g., icon: "menu" points to the ico/menu.gif graphics file).

The pimenu.py Python script not only draws the interface using the configuration from the pimenu.yaml file, but it also reads the names of the menu tiles when pressed and executes the pimenu.sh Bash shell script. This is where all the action happens. You can configure the script to perform actions based on the name of the pressed tile. One way is to configure the script to read the name of the pressed tile and then use a case conditional statement to perform the desired actions.

To obtain the name of the pressed tile, you can use the echo "$*" command. However, this command returns the names of all menu items if the pressed tile resides somewhere down the menu hierarchy. For example, if you press the Backup tile, the returned result will be Menu Backup. Because pimenu.sh needs only the name of the pressed tile, you can use the awk tool to extract it from the result returned by the echo "$*" command and assign the obtained value to the key variable:

to obtain the mountpoint of the USB device. It does so by using the find tool, which looks for non-empty folders in the media directory. The sed tool in turn applies proper escaping if the obtained path contains white spaces (e.g., /media/NIKON D90/DCIM/100NCD90/ becomes /media/NIKON\ D90/DCIM/100NCD90/). This command assumes that there is only one USB storage device or card reader connected to Raspberry Pi at the time.

To back up the transferred photos to an external storage device connected to the USB port of Raspberry Pi, the script features two commands: The first one obtains the mountpoint of the USB device, and the second command uses the rsync tool to copy the photos.

Tapping on the tile with no sub-tiles returns an empty result, so the final part of the case statement closes PiMenu by killing all running pimenu processes if the $key value is empty – that is, the "") condition.

With PiMenu configured and ready to go, you have only two things left to do: Install the required packages and provide a way to launch PiMenu without using the keyboard. To install the packages, run the following commands:

With minimal tweaking, you can improve the described project and put it to other uses. For example, you can easily extend PiMenu"s configuration to include cloud backup (e.g., using rsync via SSH), preview photos downloaded from the camera or a card reader, and much more. You can easily modify the project to use Raspberry Pi as a backup device not only for photos but also for files and documents in general.

You can also adapt PiMenu to entirely different uses altogether. For example, you can turn your Raspberry Pi into an Internet radio device that lets you choose stations via the touch-screen menu, or you can build a simple launcher that opens specific applications. In other words, if you have a Raspberry Pi with an LCD touchscreen, PiMenu can prove to be an indispensable ingredient for making the combo useful.

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.

Just go to dakboard.com and create an account. Then begin configuring the layout to your liking. There are five different screen configurations to choose from:Top/Bottom

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.

This resistive LCD screen has been designed specifically to connect to your Raspberry Pi, regardless of the model you use. It connects directly to the GPIO pins of the microcontroller, and it has embedded drivers allowing you to work easily with Raspbian and Ubuntu systems. The screen has a 320 x 480 pixel resolution and will capture images in 17 different modes with a simple tap.

Normally I use an external monitor for my Raspberry Pi projects. But this is rather bulky, and for a home automation project I want to have something smaller.

There are several display solutions on the market for Raspberry Pi today, but what finally convinced me was the Raspberry 7″ Touch Pi Foundation Display (https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/the-eagerly-awaited-raspberry-pi-display/) which I have ordered.

The Raspberry board gets mounted on top of the LCD board. There are multiple power options for the display, for now I’m using the 5V and GND from the Raspberry board:

With above setup, the Raspberry Pi uses the touch LCD as the default display. But sometimes it is good to have a larger screen. To switch back to the HDMI port by default, I need to edit the following line in /boot/config.txt:

Currently it seems that it is only possible to use a second monitor e.g. to play videos, see “Dual Display Usage” in https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/the-eagerly-awaited-raspberry-pi-display/. I have not found a way to have run two displays in true ‘extended’ mode. The latest information I have found on this topic is here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=120541

The 7″ Raspberry Pi foundation touch LCD is a cool extension for the Raspi, turning it into a kind of tablet computer. With the display frame and stand I can have it on my desk and do not need an extra keyboard, mouse and display. Using the Raspy with the touch display works well for larger UI item (buttons, menus), but is hard to use for smaller UI items like to minimize windows. For this, a wireless USB mouse or touch area is better. The virtual keyboard is better than nothing, but again for typing text a real keyboard is better.

I’m not so happy with the ‘bare’ Pi board on the backside of the LCD frame. I wanted to use the acrylic case (see picture at the beginning of this post), but the mounting screws were not long enough, so I first need to buy new mounting screws.
