LCD Mount for Khadas Captain + Edge / Edge-V

Android is fine. But most of us are Linux Enthusiast.

So Linux Images will make us more excited :smiley:

Good Work though. But 1 question currently this whole project for LCD Mount is only for Edge :frowning:

While as I see VIM3 is the next Powerful SOC. Any plan to make something similar for VIM3?

Yeap it’s a good idea. I’ll have to find out from @goenjoy if the touchscreen will work properly on Ubuntu.

At the same time, how do you plan on using Ubuntu on such a tiny screen? Plug keyboard and mouse into the USB?

Are there Linux distros optimised for touchscreens?

Regarding some kind of LCD mount for VIM3, I’m wondering if a simpler approach would be more effective…something like using the same FR4 board to mount the screen.

The movable “3d” acrylic hinge, and “complete acrylic casing” was fun and all, but it’s actually rather challenging to glue together in the factory.

Perhaps avoiding glue is a good idea, as sometimes they glue the pieces in reverse, or the glue spills over the edges in a messy sorta way. :smile:

I was going through some video of Raspberian with Higher resolution as per the screen size. Atleast it was able to make use of the touch screen as cursor input and dot basic stuff.

But If we can do something of around 7 -10 Inch screen it would make a perfect Tab with Full Size Linux. That was the whole point I started Tinkering with SBC.

Also I was thinking of Android with full Gamepad software support. As I couldnt find anything like that which can support Games like Pubg with a gamepad. I Saw a video of Nindendo Switch Android hack and the price of Old Switch increased. So I see there is a need for Android device with Gamepad(Joypad) integrated.

Yes this is not very important. I prefer something practice and something which is needed in normal use cases.

Sounds good, I’m thinking subsequent cases will focus on:

  • Glue-less construction
  • Flat-packing
  • Simple laser-cut design (acrylic / FR4)
  • User self-assembly with high-quality fasteners

Final, final version. I think the feet and gold buttons are a nice touch.

Mirrored displays. I’ll have to ask @goenjoy how to enable dual independent displays.

Would you be interested in making a Case which can Fit in the screen, a battery and Vim with heatsink atleast? To turn it into a portable Device? Maybe 7 or 10 inch screen in future designs?

@goenjoy has fixed most of the bugs in the android build. It looks pretty now, with custom icons for:

  • Power-off
  • Volume Down
  • Back
  • App Launcher
  • App Switcher
  • Volume Up
