Really a GREAT video & explanation of what you are doing...just getting into the Raspberry Pi movement at 73 years old. Looks like fun. My first computer was a Radio Shack Model 1 with 4K of memory 43 years ago. Keep posting your wonderful videos. GOD BLESS!!!
I was planning on buying one of these (the screen and the case, once my petty cash funds recharge) as a makeshift Raspbian tablet, so this was exactly what I was looking for in an easy to understand manner and it actually answered a LOT of my n00bish questions. (Smashes 'Like')
Yep, the Pi is saying it needs more amps. A 2-3A power source is required nowadays. Probably easiest to buy the official Pi powersupply. It will run with less, but it may be unstable.
Great example for this. I built 2 setups with the 3B model. One is just 3.5" (display, display box) and in 64 bit OS and #2 is in legacy OS with a media case with good power and I plan to glue a 5" on top and I cut a hole for a GPIO cable. Hooked up to HDMI for now. It's important to get 5 volts/2.5-3A on the power delivery so I fiddle around with that like an electrician, however, I can get a moment at the media case by swapping the plug over for now and maybe ordered the right thing to solve it. I like programming, so this stuff is mostly for GPIO tests in Pico 8 and Python and interface with a breadboard and similar. The little keyboard was my choice too, I think I got an original. My 3.5" display is set to a higher resolution (skipping some pixels) and I tuned the speed of it in \boot\config.txt.
Thank you for the video, I just order a kit for my use, there no instruction come with the kit, I followed your and get it put together, up and running, these kit come with much better screen than the after market one.
That lightning bolt at the top right corner does not mean it's thinking. It means the pi is not getting enough voltage. For anyone else disagreeing that it's not voltage and its amps, the pi only needs 1.5A at least but most likely use 700mAh. It's recommended having 2.5A 5.1v. Her Power Adapter cannot keep a load above 5v and it's probably at 4.80v or a bit less which will trigger the lighting icon.
The SDA and SCL connections on the GPIO header aren't required for the RPi3. On the RPi3, the Official 7" Touchscreen uses i2c-0, which is passed through the ribbon "Display Connector", so the I2C bus isn't used for touch functionality via the header. Why did you connect the green and yellow wires in the video even though you're using an RPi3?
Why is the black cable connected to the 4th row of the second column? If I understand correctly and gorund connects to ground, it whould be the 3rd row of the second column. Which is the correct one?
I really liked your video and have been interested in putting together a project like this for a while now. I already have a couple of Pi's in our home for our televisions and one with RetroPi. I'd love something like this for either outside in the backyard or in the kitchen where we don't have the space for a normal television. However, it doesn't look like your set up has sound? Would I still need portable speakers?
the original symbol confused people and was not iconic, everyone knows what a bolt of electricity looks like, indicating an issue, you can power the pi at the gpio pins with a higher amp ps
Great video, didn’t see why it was necessary to compare screens, there you go. One question I must have missed some where, the cables you you plugged in for power etc. How did you know where which pins go? Thanks
Hi Player Friendly , I'm currently building a setup with my RasPi 3 with the exactly same case you used in the video, Just want to let you know that your video was really helpful to end my setup , cos I couldnt find that specific screen , so thanks for you video and help
Wear latex gloves so no worries about static discharge. Also, why not plugin the wires on the bottom board first, then mount the second board? Just suggestions. Nice video and nice nails :)
@playerfriendly nice video...did everything u said in the video but my screen is still blank..i dont see any on /off button..i have powered it more than an hour...how else can I on it...
Great video thanks for the help! Only concern is, shouldn't it be pins 2 and 6 (5V and GRD) instead of 2 and 8? Also what are the green and yellow wires for?
Hmm...im going to overclock this....any way to prevent that? Im very frustrated on finding other ways to download many games on retropie on a portable setup like this... and im using rpi 3 btw
I am working on the switch like console right now! Posting significant case progress to thingiverse. I am calling it GamePi Advance Touch. 4 18650s, full ps2 controls...
That is a hardware/design mistake for the screen. When I put mine together I thought at first I somehow flipped a part. I changed to a different case so I can plug in hdmi and power with out it falling over. There might be a way to flip the image with software, I just have not really looked into it.
After I edited and saved the config file I rebooted and now when it actually boots into raspian, the screen orientation is correct BUT it won't respond any kind of user input eg, touches , keyboard and mouse etc. Anyway to change this in NOOBS so I don't have to edit each OS config? And am I missing something since I have a rasp pi 3 b+
Interesting video - thanks for putting it up. However all the zooming in and out was off putting. Also I don't get why all the unused electronics was shown. One word of caution - many cans of 'air duster' do not contain air but LPG. LPG and electronics get on like a house on fire. Overall your video has helped me select a direction. Thanks
Confused! Why would an 'air duster' use LPG ... y'know, considering that LPG is way more expensive than air ... not to mention the liability... then there's the storage/shipping obligations and limitations. It doesn't really make any sense at all. Can you cite a brand of pressurised LPG which advertises itself as an 'air duster' ? It would be useful information to have ... ... I'm feeling particularly litigious ; )
Physics. LPG is liquefied petroleum gas and as a liquid is about 600 times denser than a compressed gas at the same pressure. [Air doesn't liquefy as readily as LPG] It is exactly the same reason most aerosol products (hair spray, deodorant, shaving foams etc.) use LPG and not compressed air! You are right about about the manufacturing testing etc. But an aerosol manufacturer is already set up for all that and there is essentially 'zero product' [aka shaving foam] and only propellant. The world makes over a trillion aerosol cans / year; so a small % of 'air duster' is truly cheap. Any air duster containing LPG type propellant will have an extremely flammable marking. I agree it is very counter intuitive. An example www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Duster-Compressed-Flammable-400ml/dp/B000MQ7DZC/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1506149116&sr=1-3&keywords=air+duster+can
It powers on when you plug it in, there are no on/off switches on the Pi. So make sure you shut down the os or you could corrupt the memory card. I use a usb cable that has a little on/off switch.
The Pi itself will not come with heat sinks, but a lot of cases do come with them. As for needed them, it depends on what you will use your Pi for. If you are going to playing games for a long length of time then it would be best to get them. Copper heat sinks are some of the best you can get but aluminum is fine. You can also get a fan, but that seems a little silly to have it on with the screen.
If you have the same screen as me and did the same setup it should power up with no issue. You might have a bum screen, You should check that your cables are seated all the way in and locked in place.

Actually the best Rpi + lcd video tutorial, so much detail including the dimension of the display.
I pressed like, 10/10 effort

I've had some problems with my New screen, but thanks to your video, everything is fine now.Thanks a lot!
Thaaaaank you for posting this! I have wanted to do something like this for ages. :)
Very pleasant to listen to and most importantly very informative. Thank you for this video.
The lightning bolt in upper right screen indicates the amperage of your power supply is below nominal.
Yep, the Pi is saying it needs more amps. A 2-3A power source is required nowadays. Probably easiest to buy the official Pi powersupply. It will run with less, but it may be unstable.
I believe the lightning bolt represents the under voltage.
Idk if the available power has something to do with it.
the size comparison with the switch helped. thank you
also the ipad air one
Thanks for the screen-wiring set-up. Much appreciated as other wiring "recommendations" didn't work. Now I'm powered up and ready to go.
Cheers
Great example for this.

One is just 3.5" (display, display box) and in 64 bit OS and #2 is in legacy OS with a media case with good power and I plan to glue a 5" on top and I cut a hole for a GPIO cable.

it was more like an ASMR, even better than ASMR
Thank you for the video, I just order a kit for my use, there no instruction come with the kit, I followed your and get it put together, up and running, these kit come with much better screen than the after market one.
Check my update video I made a little mistake with the ground wire to the screen on its placement.
First youtuber to not scream in a video
So Happy I found your UA-cam Channel. Really clear and informative! Thank you
Ground pin is 6 in Paspberry Pi 3b, that means the black line connect to wrong pin.....
So why is it working in the video?
Lightning bolt in top right corner indicates low amperage. Could also indicate bad ground.
That lightning bolt at the top right corner does not mean it's thinking. It means the pi is not getting enough voltage. For anyone else disagreeing that it's not voltage and its amps, the pi only needs 1.5A at least but most likely use 700mAh. It's recommended having 2.5A 5.1v.

Great video! Very helpful and informative! Thank you!
Great job...i'm just starting with PI...your vid was very helpful...exactly what i was looking for.
I wanted to make a portable raspberry pi 3 handheld but the screen addon wasn't being sold in my area till today
Why is the black cable connected to the 4th row of the second column? If I understand correctly and gorund connects to ground, it whould be the 3rd row of the second column. Which is the correct one?
thanks, i was having trouble getting this to work but i saw this video and it worked with what i had very helpful
I really liked your video and have been interested in putting together a project like this for a while now. I already have a couple of Pi's in our home for our televisions and one with RetroPi. I'd love something like this for either outside in the backyard or in the kitchen where we don't have the space for a normal television. However, it doesn't look like your set up has sound? Would I still need portable speakers?
Question.. do you have the script to plug HDMI to t.v. and play Retropie emulation station?
I really appreciate your video, you got my super like 😀
Does it produce sound
Nice project, very helpful. Thank you.
Very Excellent Information and Great Video.
The lightning bolt means you're not getting enough power... 5 volts 2.5A power supply is needed
Old Man hendo I found a five volt, 3.6 amp power cord wall wart at a thrift store, BAM
How long ago did they change the low-voltage indicator to a lightning bolt?
the original symbol confused people and was not iconic, everyone knows what a bolt of electricity looks like, indicating an issue, you can power the pi at the gpio pins with a higher amp ps
@Old Man Hendo You simply buy a power supply that is capable of 2.5A (amps).
Damn right my man!!!
Great video, didn’t see why it was necessary to compare screens, there you go. One question I must have missed some where, the cables you you plugged in for power etc. How did you know where which pins go? Thanks
raspberry pi 3 b+ gpio pin layout - search google images.
that lightning bolt logo showing it means its under power
Does the screen need set up too? Well mine didn't come with one
Enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing!!
Dose it all come with the wires
More clarity on where you plug the gpio wires
Awesome video and guide, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you :)
That's really neat. Thanks for posting the video. Barry
Hi Player Friendly , I'm currently building a setup with my RasPi 3 with the exactly same case you used in the video, Just want to let you know that your video was really helpful to end my setup , cos I couldnt find that specific screen , so thanks for you video and help
Hello, how do you lower the brightness of the touch screen?
Wear latex gloves so no worries about static discharge.
Also, why not plugin the wires on the bottom board first, then mount the second board?
Just suggestions. Nice video and nice nails :)
what if instead of raspian i load kali linux it will be running with no problem? or i need something else?
@playerfriendly nice video...did everything u said in the video but my screen is still blank..i dont see any on /off button..i have powered it more than an hour...how else can I on it...
John Buxton lol did you program it onto a sd card first like she said at the beginning.
Thank you so much for this video
Great video thanks for the help! Only concern is, shouldn't it be pins 2 and 6 (5V and GRD) instead of 2 and 8? Also what are the green and yellow wires for?
Those are for the touch controller, it takes additional setup to make use of it.
Isnt the a way to extend the distance between the display and the pi without mounting it to the back of the display.??
Hmm...im going to overclock this....any way to prevent that? Im very frustrated on finding other ways to download many games on retropie on a portable setup like this... and im using rpi 3 btw
I am working on the switch like console right now! Posting significant case progress to thingiverse. I am calling it GamePi Advance Touch. 4 18650s, full ps2 controls...
I got the same Setup. One issue is that the Content is rotated 180 degree, if you use Standard X Setup. :(
That is a hardware/design mistake for the screen. When I put mine together I thought at first I somehow flipped a part. I changed to a different case so I can plug in hdmi and power with out it falling over. There might be a way to flip the image with software, I just have not really looked into it.
I had the same issue, this solved it for me:
Add lcd_rotate=2 to /boot/config.txt
Enjoyed your video and many thanks! ;-)
A parody switch is excatly what i was thinking about doing!
How do I get this to show up on both the 7" screen and another screen through hdmi? I only get sound out of the tv I hook it up with hdmi.
After I edited and saved the config file I rebooted and now when it actually boots into raspian, the screen orientation is correct BUT it won't respond any kind of user input eg, touches , keyboard and mouse etc. Anyway to change this in NOOBS so I don't have to edit each OS config? And am I missing something since I have a rasp pi 3 b+
Can i run just the screen ?
please trybon samsung dex
the lightning bolt means it needs more power not that its thinking. it means you need a high power supply
The screen need another operating system?
@B-SHOCK PROTECTION Yeah, don't be like me and reply in 2019
your getting the under voltage detection like me and the monitor is causing it
do not remember seeing an rtc on either board....but if you say so...then ok
awesome vid thanks for posting
That’s so Awesome. Great Video.
So cool
Surgical tech or o.r. nurse?
hi thanks for the video can u please tell me what power supply voltage I will need to run my pi 2 model b with the 3.5inch screen ?
you can use any supply as long as it 5V 2A or more. The pis work up to 12 volts
Does it come with all the wires ( the screen)
Yep
you didn't link the screen that you used or am I blind?
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0153R2A9I
97JoMiller your probably blind... who knows
She linked it after I asked
सर आप ने कितने में खरीदा और कहां से खरीदा
i bought a 7" pi3 for myself and a gaming raspberry for my son
Very well done
Followed the instructions and my screen is black when powered up 😕
i didnt follow any instructions as none are provided...but same issue....nothing but black screen
Give this person 1000subs
Thanks for sharing😀👍

All you need is a Bluetooth transmitter then you can use a Bluetooth speaker
Where is the power switch?
It powers on when you plug it in, there are no on/off switches on the Pi. So make sure you shut down the os or you could corrupt the memory card. I use a usb cable that has a little on/off switch.
Thanks for this! How do you get the sound to work? I set mine up like this and used headphones, but nothing happens. Any help?
i beg u make more videos. people like you should be more on youtube. i beg you. we will make you a top youtuber.
IAM LPGY etc bmngc
IAM LPGY this bvcxx v
I just bought the rpi3B and the 7"display m my RPI didn't come with heat sinks. Do I need them? Should they have been included?

Player Friendly Thank You.
awesome thank you
Nice vid, thanks :)
We gonne hmmmmm yeah this hmmmm there hmmm mmmmm this mmmm
Where did you get the screws?
They come with the case.
7:35 Ummm Chocolate chip cookie 🍪
I,m your 100 subscriber
Thank you!
my screen won't display anything any help please?
If you have the same screen as me and did the same setup it should power up with no issue. You might have a bum screen, You should check that your cables are seated all the way in and locked in place.
Great video!!!
Thank you!
Is it fine to put a normal keyboard?
You should be fine with a standard USB keyboard.
No problem mate
Player Friendly hello my screen is upside down is they're a fix for it?
check the description Ramon Roman
Great video.
I wouldn't mind getting running in 2023/2024 I'd use it as a tablet instead of A cheap Walmart RCA tablet
can we play pubg
Спасибо большое вам за информативное видео.
Very awesome, and helpful video, Beautiful lovely hands, love from Pakistan
I am trying to make a eye detection program like stuffs with raspberry pi can U help me out doing that
Why you bought so many gaming console 😅😅
I love my ps vita slim
Nice
all you need is speakers,
Does the screen support flipping horizontal and vertical
adrian simmons hey have you found out the answer my screen is upside down is there a way to fix it?
adrian simmons . Yes. I saw instructions in this vid. ua-cam.com/video/fkVBAcvbrjU/v-deo.html
thks a zin
what a trainwreck
