Re: Collecting information on alternative displays - please contribute

@Rog585 I have the same screen as you. I am no expert so just sharing info from how I was advised in wiring my board for this same screen. From the video driver board: AV source (yellow wire): connect to TV on Pi (where you have it now) GND (black): connect to TV ground on Pi - where you have the o...

Re: Collecting information on alternative displays - please contribute

@rog585 See the post I linked. The round + and - holes on the end of the Powerboost where the USB plug would be soldered on. Looking at the board I think I bridged one of the wires with the circuitry above it, may need a finer iron tip, I did notice it was easier to solder the wires through the hol...

Just tried that with no luck. I will tear down and try again. I don't think it's the pi is I have tried it with 2!

Re: Collecting information on alternative displays - please contribute

@Rog585 -- I don't see anything obviously wrong. You stripped quite a bit off the wires, so be sure the exposed wire isn't accidentally making contact with some other component on the PCB. Also, make sure you didn't accidentally bridge between any of the solder pads on the PCB when connecting the w...

Re: Collecting information on alternative displays - please contribute

That's perfect, you have been a great help and will give it a go, just to confirm for option 3 the white wire should go through the hole to the right of tv which is marked up as U3? Yup. On the Pi0, TV output and the ground for TV output have the little white box around them. (like you, I think the...

Re: Collecting information on alternative displays - please contribute

Thank you for the help, I think I will go with you and do option 3. Final question what gauge wire is best to use for 1) the control connecions - dpad 2) general connections and 3) powered connections? Starting to get off-topic for this thread, but I used 30AWG for controls and stuff going into reg...

Re: Collecting information on alternative displays - please contribute

@Rog585 Keep the red wire attached to the board as it is. The jumper wire is soldered onto the same solder point as the existing wire, and onto the pin shown on the IC. This post shows a basic breakdown of the wiring that most people use. Red and white go to the Powerboost. Yellow goes to the "TV" ...

Re: Collecting information on alternative displays - please contribute

@Rog585 While, technically, the BW7 display works without modifications, my experience was that it had very noticeable flickering when used that way. I'd really recommend soldering a jumper wire like so: http://sudomod.com/wiki/images/7/74/IMAG0115.jpg So I just snip the current attachment and sold...

Re: Collecting information on alternative displays - please contribute
