Thu Apr 04, 2013 4:21 am

Im pretty new to this sooo...
I was wondering if i could some how hook up this (http://dx.com/p/diy-5-led-screen-480-x- ... ver-195399) to the RPi?
Its only like 30 bucks and i wanna try to make the RPi portable and what not.

It will only have composite resolution ,
but it should work. I can't see a power supply though.

I think the red connector on the lead is a 12V power connector, not an RCA socket. That is common for composite security cameras - Red barrel connector for power, Yellow for video and White for audio - I have one in a bird nesting box that I'm hoping to eventually hook up to a video capture device on my Pi to use with motion.

First time I read over your reply I missed the camera bit and thought you had an LCD screen in a bird box :lol:

Well, have to keep our feathered friends amused with recordings of that documentary with the little yellow bird and the puddy tat ;-)
