    @birdy why the micro Hdmi?

    I would recommend using dvi to hdmi since the Rapi will then recognise the cable directly and u won’t have to do any config to get the screen working propely.

    If you wanna use a hdmi to vga i used this:

    Worked really good after a bounch of configures in the Rapi.

      @tomyboy96 - I have no idea why did I write micro HDMI (maybe I was playing with the micro SD adapter). But thanks for your remark! Adapter ordered (hope it will work). Next update in few days :)

            Hi,

            there is also another challenge:
            alt text
            I would liek to get rid of these metal body. The side you can see shoud me glued to the plastic.

            What can I put between the curcuit and the plastic? Some small plastik tubes? Wood? Rubber? Should I then glue the boards or better (for the future) screw it to to the “legs”?

            How about grounding it? Needed?

            Cheers
            Birdy
