Help finding a 40 pin display connector to hdmi conversion board for my rpi zero 2 w
January 15, 2024, 05:00
Hello, I am trying to use this display (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804988932499.html with my raspberry pi zero 2 w, but need a conversion board that will convert the 40 pin to hdmi. Are there any boards that will help me do this? I am looking for something like this (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2218 ) but something that will work with my display and my raspberry pi. Thanks in advance.
Have you thought of making your own?
It sounds fun tbh.
Check the display's Input/Output Terminals
Ah, Well I am not a very skilled hardware engineer so that's probably not possible at the moment haha.
And also make sure if you're going to get an adapter to check if it's compatible with the display, I've read that some adapters don't work as intended for every display.
Yeah
The thing is, I am not very well versed in display standards so I am kinda lost on which ones I should be using.
It seems like different adapters have different functions assigned to the pins, so I am not sure which one I should use
As long as display's terminals are available, finding a proper adapter oughtn't be hard.
Hmm, so the display seems to have ILI9341 drivers... could that help in finding the right one?
the adapter also has to match the software right?
Oh okay
So if i buy adapters that match the i/o terminals it should work right?
Yep
And even better give [this](https://sites.google.com/site/lcd4hobby/lvds-cables/e-40-pin-cable ) a read, it's great.
Oh cool
"Usually GND pins are "fingerprint" of type of cable we must use with. Always check twice or more to be sure."
Hmm
