Just purchased one of these. Can I hook it directly to the Raspberry Pi or do I need to use a Mosfet or Opto Isolator?

Depends on whether you want "probably works fine" or "guaranteed to work for sure." You want 10 to 20 ma to turn the emitter all the way on in the onboard opto isolator. A single r-pi GPIO pin can do that, but just barely. If you use all the GPIOs at once there's not enough current for that and the R-pi may get flaky. To be safe and sure use an outboard transistor, if you're just experimenting don't bother.

The circuit requires a driver capable of sinking 10MA. Most ucontrollers can do this. Since it is driven to ground no level shifting is required.

Based on the picture, this 2 relay shield already has opto isolators for both relays (that is what the two 4 pin modules are). Raspberry Pi uses 3.3V and this uses 5V, so you may want to use a level shifter (or an NPN transistor with two resistors) to keep from overloading the Pi output.

I have mine directly connected to the Pi - been running on a regular basis for over 6 months

Hi ! I use with with my raspberry pi, and works perfectly. Minimum need 2 hdd !

I ended up buying a different model (HP MCE Remote w/IR transceiver). It does not do what you want, and I doubt that any will. I agree with the comment from Lester Barraatt, that this would require BIOS level settings, and accompanying driver software functionality.

I haven't hooked up what you have, but I use these control an astronomical telescope and they work great. I replaced a number of other USB/Serial converters that used Prolific chips with these. These use FTDI chips and are much more reliable, at least in the astronomical community.

No. What you are seeing is a non touch screen display attached to a converter control that then attaches to the raspberry pi. It needs a seperate power source as well. I made the same mistake but the control board is about the same size as a pi model b

Yes, Raspberry Pi will run with this as it supports linux, however it may require more voltage than the minimum 5v so beware of that

Sorry.I don't know the answer. I bought this specifically for my Raspberry Pi project.

Yes there is an AC adapter with the unit. I believe the output is 500ma/ port.Do not know the requirement for Raspberry PI computer board. Other comments indicate it is usable.I use it as a port for my wireless mouse w/o any power other than Dell 660 usb port.

Conector is different. 30 pin vs lighting. It won't work unless you get a converter

Sorry, but when I got this display it did not come with any instructions or wiring diagrams. Yes you can use it for the pi and or the arduino, but good luck finding out how. Do yourself a favor and go to Adafruit.com and buy from them. Everything they sell comes with how to instructions and even downloadable software. They even have tutorials for many subjects you may be interested in. I cannot say enough great things about this New York based company. Amazon is a great place to buy many many things but when it comes to electronic components, Adafruit is one of the best. Good luck.

You need a lanc/remote plug to use it. All the outputs still function the same.

The picture shows an LCD driver board not a Raspberry Pi. The driver board will connect directly to the Pi through either an HDMI cable or a composite video cable. I currently use the HDMI input with my Pi.

i found this here for it i haven't tried it out yet but looks promising. http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t;=46949

Yes you can, you only have to make sure to have the compatible SMPTE signal from the source. Best Regards

As someone else mentioned, use a VGA cable. Very easy to find, and not very expensive. Amazon has them.

we have customers using this with Raspberry Pi, we also have the male USB adapters in stock.

MANUFACTURER: HDMI2VGAD does work with Raspberry Pi (refer to the photos). Some VGA monitors may support only a limited set of formats. It may need to adjust /boot/config.txt. It would be great if you could give us a chance to help. We can figure out most issues and provide you a solution. Just send a quick email to support@ableconn.com.Thanks for giving us the chance to help!Regards,Ableconn Customer Service
