Raspberry Pi Forums

hi, is it possible to connect this display to an raspberry Pi? (I have only RPi1 B+,maybe zero soon^^)
I have this display from an broken canon printer

TD024THEB2 resolution: 480×240

there is also an hardwarepart on the backside, maybe the controller
is it possible?

it would be nice if it would work for an raspi zero

Unless you have a wiring diagram and a datasheet for that display, then forget it.

something like this?

No. That's a circuit diagram. You need a DATASHEET.

ok thanks

I should start with an working beginner display
'till I get the datasheet one day
maybe raspi3 is out then^^

Hi, I just slaughtered my canon printer with joy and I now have the same display.

And this might be an Datasheet:

It seems it has an SDA and SCL PIN so shouldnt it work with an raspberry pi?

(for future visitors who haven't counted the pins before contemplating this question)

I'm guessing no, as the pi has a 15 pin display connector (but I might be counting that wrong),
and the display in question has a 22 pin ribbon coming out of the control board, and the display itself has over 30 pins if you were to try skipping the control board.

So as far as an easy screen for ones pi, no I don't think so.

I've cannibalized a multifunction canon as well and now have this display, so was looking at doing the same thing.

It is possible and THIS https://www.mikrocontroller.net/attachm ... 4THEB2.pdf is exactly what you need!
When you open up this PDF, do you see the outer frame has numbers on top and bottom (1,2,3,4) and letters on the side frames (A,B,C,D)

Now, take a look at the crossing between A/B and 3/4, this is where your schematics is for the 40 pin MG5220 display interface.
To make it easy... here it is.

Here is the fun part - there isn't plug-and-play solution to run this display.
Following this guide at HackaDay - USING CHEAP DISPLAYS WITH THE RASPBERRY PI, you can build a connectivity board for your display. Which pretty much in short writes about this article - Let’s add a dirt cheap screen to the Raspberry Pi B+.

It does work! You just need to spend the time.
I don't have much time right now to write down all the mapping for the 40-pin module, but it's enough self explanatory.

Have fun!
