Has anyone seen or heard of possibly using an old smartphone touchscreen as a monitor for the pi?
Seems like everyone has old spare phones laying around. Maybe the adaptation is too difficult, but thought I'd just put it out there.
VNC Is the solution!

I suggest you to setup a VNC Server on the raspberry pi, download a VNC Client on the smartphone, and connect the client to the server. Now you will be able to use your touch phone as both screen, mouse and keyboard for the raspberry pi. You can also just use it as a screen, but it will be pretty low resolution, depending on how large the screen is.
If you don't know what VNC is, it is basically a "remote screen control thing", as I like to call it.

Just a tip, lol.
(Any questions/problems setting up vnc, pm me or email me: [email protected])

I was thinking more of inline of just hardware. Ive got a GS3 that bricked, so i was thinking of taking apart and hooking up the screen that way. plus ive got another half dozen phones that arent in use. Didnt know if anyone ever tried it before, seems like such an obvious idea.
Not from a smartphone but you can search for Siemens S65 or Nokia 6610/3310 for Raspberry Pi...
Those are working!
I had not found someone who has got make a smartphone display work...

So, hardware...

I don't really know what to do here, but I saw some people hook up a broken smartphone (With working screen) to the raspberry pi via GPIO cables.
Maybe this'll help you: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=34469
If you know what you are doing then I do not think it should be any problem to do so.
I was looking for something like this, because I have some old phones with good screens that would come in handy as status screens (I'm already using VNC)
¿Has someone tried to drive any phone screen with the bare GPIO or is a shield needed?
Thanks for the link. Its definitely going to work for one of my many pi projects. Love this this community !
so i just bought a raspberry pi 3 and was trying to find any other information on how to connect unofficial peripherals.
trying to build portable laptop/tablet Frankenstein for retropie mainly.
i have scrapped some parts from a JXD s7800b:
7" lcd touchscreen Hydis hv070wx2-1e0 not really concerned about the touch input just want the display
spec sheet: http://hands.com/~lkcl/eoma/kde_tablet/HV070WX2-1E0.pdf
speakers
camera not important but while im learning thought id try it.
while i am no stranger to linux i am new to pi and have no idea how to build my project or if its even possible. also may need direction on writing driver
also i have the idea that i would like to scrap the 20" display from an asus et2010agt all in one pc. any help is appreciated also ideas on if i could even power this with the pi
thanks in advance, you are helping a total noob so all help is appreciated even destructive criticism :laugh:
It looks like your display is an LVDS display so you would need an DSI to LVDS converter but I don't know if that would guarantee it would work without some further driver work. It might be possible.
Awesome thanks I'll check it out and let you know when I get the converter. Maybe it will be functional with minimal work and not much more cash
So I've searched and want to make sure I'm not missing something. I'm looking to put my Raspberry Pi 3 in my car as a supplement/media to the infotainment center. Im connecting it with the CRUX AVITY interfacing setup. My main question or problem is that I want to be able to screen mirror my phone, on occasion, to the RPi (Google maps for example is much better than my on board nav unit). Is there a way to do this with the WiFi chip on the Raspberry Pi 3? Do I need a dongle? What is the current solution most people are using in this scenario? I'm on a Galaxy S8+.
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys! , I saw on youtube and on vibell.org, a solution for a raspberry pi based smart doorbell.
Currently, i own the first raspberry pi (RASPBERRY P1 MODEL B), a usb 2.0 camera, a breadboard, some buttons and leds.
I wan't to do the project has shown on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRZ6QxxXRdI , the thing is that this project is made with the raspberry pi camera module (that i don't own), and i want to use a usb 2.0 camera instead, in this project he also uses a usb sound card that i don't understand why, i would want do replace that usb sound card with the soldered one on the raspberry pi
But i don't know how
I'm a beginner with the raspberry pi and programming.
Hope you can help me !
By the way the site is : vibell.org
Waiting for answer!

Hello guys!
I have a raspberry PI 3 (model b) with all necessary accessories and different sensors such as (DHT11, BMP 180, MQ-2 etc.)
So far I have managed to install Raspbian OS and log-in to PI using Putty via Wi-Fi (as I don't have external screen)
1. Is it possible to connect many sensors let's say about 3 to 5 to a single breadboard connected with raspberry PI 3?
2. Once the sensors are added successfully is it possible to collect and send data to the android app? Let's say if I create a very simple looking android app and then I can see the temperature directly from the sensor on phone?
I know there are different IoT platforms that allow sharing data in the cloud, but I want to build everything from scratch.
I am a beginner on this, so I am still studying and reading but would appreciate if someone could give me some guidance where to start.
Regards
you can use and adruino and a bluetooth module to connect it to a raspberry pi and build an app to receive and display the data from the sensors. building one myself for a project.
U can do something like this with raspberry pi + arduino
https://github.com/Ayush1325/SmartHomeModel
Raspberry pi and arduino are connected via a simple serial usb cable that comes with arduino.
It uses PubNub as the server and arduino and Android phone are connected to internet.
why not just RDP or use JuiceSSH for viewing remotely
