Peripheral Devices That I have but Don't know how to use. Help Please.

wallarug

I took apart a TomTom GPS the other day and stole the 4 Inch Display out of it along with a GPS module and SD card reader.

 

Specs of Dispaly:

     Touch Screen

     480x272 resolution

     NAME: LTE400WQ-E01-005

      50 pin connector (see below)

Can someone help me find a way that I can use this with my Raspberry Pi?  If someone could please find a datasheet first, that would be much appreciated.

 

Specs of GPS module are not know except for the NAME: Valencia ANT PCB REV:3P1 (see below)

Specs of SD card Reader - only pictures. (see below)

Connector:

I don't know if any of the above could be used / is useful with the Raspberry Pi but I thought I would see what people thought.

 

The one I really would Like to work with the Raspberry Pi is the touch display.  this would make my RPi somewhat portable and would be cool to have.

 

If the display can work with GPIO, then it would be nice to use with a rev 2 board with mounting holes.

 

Also, If the display works, then I thnk you can by these 4 Inch Touch Displays online from about $30 -$50 Dollars.

 

Thanks for any responces, they will be much apreicated.

    Well, required or not depends on what you want to do. If, for example, you want to blink the little dot in a way to show the seconds ticking away (kind of in an "I'm still alive and doing something" way) you'll use it. Maybe only on one of the LED-displays if you put 4 together for a time display. If you want it for displaying results of a self-written calculator program you'd enable the one that fits the position of the decimal point best.

    Basically it's the 8th segment and works exactly the same as the other 7 segments...
