Hey all!
I have a question: I own a raspberry pi zero and and a few old android phones.
I was wondering if it would be possible to connect on of the screens to the pi?
If so, it would be just a great way to recover some electronics that is just collecting dust
Thanks! 🙏
Possible yes but really hard due to proprietary connector, missing data specs and likely having to code the display in the kernel manually. If you’re up for it. It’ll be a fun project tbh. But it’d be easier to use a standard display imo.
Mmm… 🤔 I haven’t think about this…. Ok thanks for the reply and the useful info 🖖🏼🖖🏼
With the datasheet of the screen, maybe, but it will not be easy
Thanks for the info. I just found out that my pi does not work even work haha I need to get an other one
Lots of results with a simple google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=use+android+tablet+as+external+screen+for+raspberry+pi
That’s not what I’m looking for, I’m talking about broke phones but working screens
(Taking the screen from the phone and connect to pi)
