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

    I have been experimenting with using a touch screen to control the Pi and an e-ink screen to display pages to read.  The refresh rate on the larger e-ink screens is still pretty slow, but each iteration is getting to be more like the e-book that I imagine one day having. image

    I find it interesting and entertaining to see what others creative mind create. It inspires my creative thinking to either improve theirs or create something entirely new. I haven't done a portable Pi yet.

    I took old school rout and got an HDMI splitter and used my pc moniter in tandem with my raspi 3, that way I could switch between the two at the flip of a switch and never lose a development moment!

    Had some fun with the Pi and 7" touch screen.  When I got it, I made a "temporary" case from the box and attached a fan image
    Later, I put it on a stand with speakers. Tried out the HD cam with a Pentax to C adaptor and 50mm f1.7 lens.
