screen - How can I determine if a given touchscreen is compatible? - Stack Overflow
I am required to list down several alternatives to replace the current using 7" RPi touchscreen due to size constrain.
My team had been given a 4.3" screen with custom-made cover, as it'd been using by our seniors during the earlier stage of product development.
Lecturer demand us to keep the product with the 4.3" size screen during final year project exhibition, even though we are allow to run tests with the 7" RPi screen during development phase.
Our seniors said the selection of the screen they used was purely based on luck and they didn't done any research in compatibility issues, which later the lecturers questions us.
While doing some internet search about the compatibility issue, I found out that this is very confusing, because not all touchscreens are compatible. I'd encounter terms like TFT, RGB, 8080, LVDS, MIPI, etc, which I have no clue at all. But we are required to include all the findings in the FYP report.
I'd read through several websites and this question already and it's not helpinghttp://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/28/how-can-i-determine-if-a-given-touchscreen-is-compatible http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Touch_Screenhttp://www.lxdinc.com/technical_resources/lcd_module_protocol_interfaces
How do I find out, whether a touchscreen is compatible to the Raspberry Pi? And more importantly, why and how?
Is it some kind of communication issue or connection issue or protocol?
