There are four threaded mount holes on the LCD back. A case, a box, a panel or some sort of stand is going to be necessary for most applications or we’ll see broken bezels before long. It’ll be interesting to see what people come up with.
What is jivelite driver#
There may well be other creative solutions using longer ribbon cables and placing the Pi next to the driver board. (The highest point on A+ is the GPIO pins – you could potentially shave another 2mm there.) So, in theory, you could save 1.5cm of that depth with some butchery. You could also save another ~6mm by using an A+ instead of a Pi2. I can see that being the first way people hack the driver board to get it slimmer.įrom measurements I’ve made, if you’re willing to butcher away the USB power port, you could potentially position the Pi 7mm closer to the board. You could ‘lose’ a lot of z-axis depth if you didn’t need the USB power port. Showing z-axis depth Can We Trim It Down A Bit? With a Pi2B on the back, the total depth is 3.5cm, which is a bit ‘tubby’. applications needing a clean, simple, controlled user interfaceĪnd someone’s bound to find a creative way to slim it down and hack it into a tablet.Power consumption (I measured this) 2.23 WattsĪpart from pretty much any application where a 7 inch screen is a good size, I think it’s going to be perfect for….Overall dimensions 194mm x 110mm x 20mm (35mm with a Pi2B attached).
What is jivelite update#
Sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade Touch works in LXDE if you update/upgrade on the latest Raspbian.
It will enable the Pi to be used for controlling all manner of systems with no need for keyboard or other interface peripherals. This will be most useful in applications where people want to create their own graphical user interface (GUI). For a long time I’ve thought it would be awesome if there was a decent screen available for the Pi at the £50 price point. The official headline price is $60 + shipping and local taxes. It’s going to retail for around £50, depending on where you buy it. Official Raspberry Pi DSI screen Video Overview
