Win The Ultimate Raspberry Pi 4 Laptop as featured in Episode 407

element14 presents
Vault Build Giveaway

Win the Xbox One X | Win DJ's Pip-Boy 2000 | Win Multi-System Retro Game Controller | Win a Pi 4 Laptop | Build Inside the Box

 

Since the Raspberry Pi first showed up in 2012 it has appeared in countless Pi-based projects on the element14 Community and in builds on element14 presents.

 

This build features the 7" Touch Screen Display7" Touch Screen Display designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi.  This has been a go-to part for DJ in other builds, like his reedition of a Cyberdeck he built in Episode 488.

 

It is an elegant piece of kit to add the display needed to enjoy you favorite single board computer, the Raspberry Pi.  Of course, it's not the only option - especially in a world full of engineers and makers like you.

 

To win this unique Raspberry Pi Portable, share an example of how you (or someone else) has added display to a Raspberry Pi.

It could be a different application of the 7" display - or it could be something that retrofitted an old display to work with the pi or used projection or big screens or split display across more than one screen.  We're looking for your favorite examples of how people have addressed hooking up a display to a Raspberry Pi.

 

Share in the comments below (photos will help tell the story) for your chance to win.

    I used several times a Pi display in an "unusual" way but probably the two most interesting ones, IMHO, are the presentation I have done a couple of years ago for the Art-a-Tronic exhibition in Gent. For…

    I picked up a nice 19 inch LED display using a coupon in the paper. I got the last one just as another guy showed up to ask were to get the coupon. I just smiled and said it was too late. DAB

    For the Raspberry Pi, I adapted an old monitor via a VGA-HDMI adapter. Works really well.

    Working on connecting my Pi to a re-purposed 15” laptop LCD display and powering it with a LiFePo4 battery and charging it using a solar panel for portable amateur radio operations. Have an inexpensive Apache hard case and Rii keyboard to round it out. Been a blast so far!
