Elecrow 5 inch 800x480 Review // Great for DIY Raspberry Pi Projects!

Review of the 5 inch 800 x 480 display by Elecrow (model AUS25507D-1); it's a great small screen for DIY projects, and features a capacitive touchscreen, as well as HDMI input, 2x micro USB inputs, and a headphone socket.
Everything you need to get started is in the box, including a neat flat HDMI cable, HDMI to Mini HDMI adapter, USB cable, standoffs and screws, as well as driver CD and instructions on getting the touchscreen working on a Raspberry Pi.
The Elecrow 5" screen is available on Amazon here; amzn.to/3LGo9IF
I'm going to use this in a DIY project where I'm building a PC sensor panel for monitoring hardware stats like temperatures and fan speeds. You can see that video here; • Make your own PC Senso...

Do you need a standoffs to mount it to pc case?

[@Endpoint101]

Yes and no :) There some in the box.. which you can briefly see at 0:18 but they are the type that have screw holes at both ends.. so not quite like the ones you get with a PC motherboard.

Does it work with orange pi pc?I want to use the batocera system

[@Endpoint101]

I don’t see why not.. but it’s possible you may have trouble with the touch-screen if you plan on using that

[@Vitor.548]

I won’t need the touch,will I need any driver to boot up the batocera os?

[@Endpoint101]

@@Vitor.548 I doubt it'll need any other drivers then, since it just accepts any HDMI signal. If you're using a desktop environment you'll just need to set the resolution that suits your needs the best.

@@Endpoint101 oh man,really thanks for awnsering!! I really was having trouble to find a screen which would work with it!

@@Vitor.548 If you find you have trouble with it, you can always send it back to Amazon 🙂 (amzn.to/3LGo9IF)

So can this be hooked up to the NEW raspberry pi 5?

[@Endpoint101]

Yes, it can.

[@vynn86]
