Works Perfectly; Fantastic Buy
I bought this to use with a Raspberry Pi. However, I tested it with a few other things, just to play around with it. It works fantastically. So far, I have not been able to find a case that I like for it yet, so you will see in the photos, I temporarily used the box it came in to make an enclosure for both it, and my rPi. It's actually pretty nice, and convenient to use this way (for now). I love using this thing constantly. It works perfectly for my needs. So, on most of the things I plugged it into, the resolution worked without a problem. However, as you can see in the pictures, Raspberian does not automatically work well with it. You have to do a few things first. First off, when I first plugged it into my rPi, it actually just flickered on and off randomly, so it didn't seem to be getting enough power. The touchscreen will not work, when it is not plugged into the rPi, so you want to fix this, and get it working properly, instead of using an external power source. You can find the config.txt documentation here: [...] If you don't want to look through all of the documentation, or just need help, here is what I did: -Connected the screen to an external power supply temporarily, and used a regular mouse/keyboard -Opened 'Terminal' and entered the following: sudo nano /boot/config.txt Using the arrow keys, I scrolled to the bottom, and typed in: # Config - Kuman 7" Touchscreen hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0 hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=1 hdmi_mode=87 max_usb_current=1 -To exit and save the file: Press 'Ctrl-X' then 'Y' then 'Enter' -To reboot type: sudo shutdown -r now -Plug the usb power cord into your rPi. The screen will flicker with colors as it comes on, then once it gets to the desktop, everything should be fitting perfectly, not flickering, and the touchscreen will work. I received this product at a discount, with the agreement that I would provide a proper review, purely off my experience with it. No agreement was given, on a positive or negative review and I was not compensated, past the initial discount, for reviewing it. I myself depend entirely on reviews, before purchasing new items, so please, [...]!
