New Raspberry Pi 7" Touch Screen LCD - Assembly

Описание: Loads of folks seem to be having an issue with getting the official Raspberry PI 7" LCD up and running so I got one and have put together this detailed video (Well 2 videos really) showing how its done

EDIT
***********************************************************************************************************************
I accidently had the ground cable from the LCD on pin 8 and not 6 on the PI Header. Please make sure you use PIN 6 for the ground.

First video deals with the assembly only with closeup pictures to help you understand where the cables go and how they fit into the connectors
The second is a short test of the display using Raspbian 1.5.0 and we add a Virtual Keyboard.


Some people have tried to put them in wrong, previous instructions I have seen do not always make it clear so mistakes are made. I am hoping that my video will help to clarify everything

You can get these displays from numerious places including at the following links

RS-Online http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/graphic...|acc

Newark/Farnell :- http://canada.newark.com/raspberry-pi...

Raspberry PI SWAG store :- http://swag.raspberrypi.org/products/...

PI HUT :- http://thepihut.com/collections/raspb...

and many others


NOTE: there was a mistake in my wiring to the PI, I accidently connected the ground (Black) wire to pin 8 of the PI instead of PIN 6. It should go to PIN 6.
This did no harm in this case as I had not enabled the serial functionality but it should be noted that if I had, It would have resulted in a short on a PI output pin. this may have caused damage. I should have said the third pin down not 3 pins down from the first. Sorry for an y confusion
