✨ Learn how to use the SC1131 shielded cable to connect the official Raspberry Pi 7" touchscreen display generation 1 to the Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer using the SC1131 Raspberry Pi Display Cable. Raspberry Pi 5 features two mini 22-pin, 0.5mm pitch, combined MIPI CSI/DSI ports for attaching either a camera or a display. This video will guide you step-by-step through connecting the DSI cable to the 22-way FPC connector on the Raspberry Pi 5, ensuring a secure and functional setup. The cable is essential because earlier Raspberry Pi models used a 15-pin DSI port. With options in 200mm, 300mm, and 500mm lengths, it offers flexibility for a variety of configurations.
🚀 For testing purposes, Raspberry Pi OS has been preloaded onto a microSD card. This is a Linux distribution which provides all required drivers in the Linux kernel and device tree configurations for the official Raspberry Pi 7" touchscreen display generation 1 to work out of the box. The video demonstrates verifying the connection by powering up the system and showcasing the display functionality. This tutorial is perfect for anyone with a new Raspberry Pi 5 (2023) and the classic official Raspberry Pi 7" touchscreen display (2015), providing detailed instructions and helpful tips to get everything running seamlessly. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced maker, this video ensures your setup is smooth and successful!
