DSI Display

Hi,
I have a RPI3 with the DSI 7" touchscreen display which I would like to use to control nanoDLP and use the HDMI output with my projector.
I would like to know if someone else tryed this and how managed run startx in one display (DSI) and nanoDLP on the other (HDMI).
Thanks
Roger

Re: DSI Display

I am trying the same thing. I plan on connecting the display using VGA GPIO adapter. I am still waiting on the VGA adapter to arrive. So far, I have tested the display in HDMI mode and with projector calibration images. It shows the image but it is zoomed in. I am logging into the raspi through my PC. However, once the VGA gets connected, it should be a localhost via the graphic interface through the touchscreen and a remote keyboard. I just hope that the processor is fast enough to handle everything, the projector / arduino and the X11 interface.

Re: DSI Display

Running x server on rpi is very resource extensive. I suggest to use android compatible board and connect lcd to it.

Re: DSI Display

I am trying to avoid the use of a networked connection to the pi. I will see how it performs with the x server. BTW, is there a command line interface to nanodlp? This could be useful to fire up print jobs.

Re: DSI Display

Thiengod,
after some tries and errors, a few months ago, I managed to run X server on the touch display and use HDMI as output to my printer.
And it is working fine.
Thanks

Re: DSI Display

RogerP, it would be nice if you could tell us how you did it. So far, I have my VGA666 board installed into the RPI. I can see the output and also startx, but without nanodlp. The moment nanodlp is started, it takes control of the GPIO port and the display goes blank.

Re: DSI Display

I will take a look on my notes and write here what I have done, but Manojd I am not using a GPIO board. I bought the DSI display so it let the GPIO free for other uses.
