Cute Mini USB second display!

For windows, you should configure a 320x240 QVGA tft to communicate to our PC via USB so we can use it as a second display!

    You could use Adafruit Qualia 9.7 DisplayPort Monitor - 2048x1536 or you could combine LG LP097QX1 - iPad 3/4 Retina Display and Qualia Bare Driver Board for LP097QX1 Display.

    Yeah but it's too high resolution. I wanted to try a mini tft.

    It would be nice to know size,resolution, voltage etc. that can help us narrow down your requirements.

    Yep that's the one I'm interested in. But how can I use it as an external monitor like the Chibimo?

    Hmm... Yeah, this may require using an FPGA and custom software and drivers. It'll take some more research and some time but this crazy idea may work
