Old laptop Screens on a Raspberry PI... Yes indeed. @TheBreadboardca

I have been asked many times if it is possible to use an old laptop screen (LCD Panel salvaged from an old laptop), watch the video and see how its done!

what is LVDS... youtu.be/Gph9hYLPMFk
Old laptop Screens on a Raspberry PI... Part 2 ://youtu.be/mHVrsOhccdM

for the longest time my answer has been NO, or not with a lot of work

It is now time to change that answer, in this video you will see how you can use many different LCD panels from OLD Laptops with the raspberry PI with the purchase and connection of a simple board from Banggood.

This is not a sponsored video, I bought this board and some others that are still on their way, and I wanted to share with you how to get everything working.

the board I bought can be found here:-

using this link will help me run the channel if you then purchase from Banggood. I will get a small commission but you pay no more.

use this link for other items from Banggood.

Old laptop Screens on a Raspberry PI... Yes indeed.

Arduino Relay Shield and new lid for the IOT2020

$IOT Friday - Possibly the Cheapest IoT Node on the Planet pt1 The ESP8266 chip on its various SBC modules is rapidly becoming the GOTO for many low cost and low complexity (Relatively) solutions for an IoT Node. With Models like the SONOFF and Slampher from ITead Studio, the ESP01, ESP 12 and many other derivatives, all for well under 5$ and some close to 2$ there hard to beat. The Itead Studio parts come complete with power supply, Relay and a cloud service and Smart App. But where is the fun in just buying one and using a remote cloud service. We will go through re-programming the (ANY) ESP8266 modules with the code a friend of mine created Peter Scargill. http://tech.scargill.net/. Pete has been working with these modules for a long time and has a new set of BIN files with everything including the kitchen sink in them. check out the word doc detailing the configuration here :- https://bitbucket.org/scargill/esp-mqtt-dev/src/fe47daab214fcae49d88802f505430f8d0e5775a/Hackitt-and-Bodgitt-ESP.doc?at=master This is a 32 Bit cpu with built in WIFI, ADC, GPIO, Interrupts, SPI, I2C etc. In most applications where a developer may be tempted to use an Arduino, Launchpad or even a Raspberry PI, this little unit can do the job for a fraction of the cost. You have a choice of IDEs, including the Arduino Wiring IDE, Visual Studio, Eclipse or if you have the BIN files (As we will do in this video), a simple FLASH programmer) So with all Pete has included in this code base there is no need for me to write my own to setup my home automation system (I will show you in later videos). To complete the setup you will need at least a master control using MQTT and Node Red (If you want to minimize your coding effort). This can easily run on any Raspberry pi as a headless SBC and even on lesser powered Linux machines or alternately a Beaglebone Black. or pretty much any Linux system sporting Node Red and MQTT. You can also use Eclipse , IBM, Mosquitto MQTT Internet based services if you want as an alternative. The purpose here is to set it up at home and then allow only what you want out onto the internet. Petes setup script for the Raspberry PI can be found here :-https://bitbucket.org/snippets/scargill/KqgAe/latest-script-june-2016-read-the-comments bin files here http://www.scargill.net/rboot.bin and http://www.scargill.net/romx.bin His text based post detailing all this in his words http://tech.scargill.net/blowing-the-home-control-2016-code/ http://tech.scargill.net/slampher-unfolded/ Source code for those so inclined https://bitbucket.org/scargill/esp-mqtt-dev SONOFF Modules https://www.itead.cc/smart-home.html sonoff info https://www.itead.cc/blog/sonoff-esp8266-reprogramming-part-1-control-mains-from-anywhere$
