Built this during lockdown. PI 4 and 4.3" touch screen with auto dimming, and various other button features. The case was printed on the Guider 2s and I use a Magsafe connector instead of a puchin connector which is unsightly. I have also disabled the internal LED’s so they don’t glow through the white case

I’ve been working on these for a few weeks now. The 7 inch screen is for my Pi server, and the 5inch screen is my bedside clock.
Both screens have brightness controls, and module hiding. The seven inch screen has both a manual screen button for reducing the brightness from 180 to 20, which can override the auto dulling and brightening.
Seven Inch (screen grabs - Full and Night mode)
Seven inch Bright mode
Seven inch in night dull mode( Not as bright as the image in real life. At night, its just bright enough to see the time but not bright enough to light the room. Dimming is the same on both screens)
And in dull mode
Five inch

@ankonaskiff17 I have a bedside dispaly using a 4.3 inch display that works perfectly

I am also working on a smaller one with a 3.5 screen that has just the clock and temperature on it to fit in an enclosure in my shed

@cowboysdude I will be. I’m currently doing a Tutorial on Instructables for it with all background code for dimming and LED control, and important dimensions to fit in the case. I will link to the three files used in it.
When it’s done, I will post a link on this thread

@thgmirror Just the fan. I put a hole in the top for a set of headphones so I don’t disturb my partner, although it rarely gets used for anything other than a clock and phone charger.
@thgmirror HAHAHA Your not the first to see that. Shoulda put three slots in the top LOL
