I've been looking at something similar lately, love this project. Looks simple enough, might be a fun thing for me to tackle lol

[@ModernHobbyist]

Absolutely go for it! Glad you enjoyed it!

cool! can you make a 20+ inch version w/ a full hdmi input and a dc port so it can be powered by a v-mount via dc-to-dtap cable?

Awesome project, Charlie! I’ve been looking for a cheap 7-10” touch display to use for a StreamDeck alternative (using Touch Portal). This build looks like just what I need!

[@ModernHobbyist]

Thanks Travis! And thanks for the project idea!

An idea for a revision, since you have the two batteries, could you design the case to hold the plug aligned and captive and swap the batteries like a cartridge?

[@ModernHobbyist]

Oooooh that’s a good idea!

Wait, you built the junk ass wood frame for the video… because you built it after the pla frame first, although you edited the video differently… why?
