Hi
I’ve earlier built my own case for the kitchen where I was running Volumio with Roon bridge in parallell (and hifiberry amp2). The standard case really don’t give the screen the best viewing angles since it’s kind of upside down. I couldn’t find any commercial case rotated like this, so I spent a week with handsaw and sandpaper and another for finishing in the living room.
Having discoverd how nice Ropieee is (now no more volumio in the kitchen) on this thing I now bought another screen for the living room and my main setup (only as screen). Though I’m not very keen on another couple of weeks of building, I havn’t been able to find anything at all on the internet where the screen (and the pi) are rotated like this. That is: connections on the left side, instead of the right side.
Does anyone have any suggestions of a case with this orientation for the screen?
Its not the rotation of the picture on the screen that is problematic, I know of that setting. Rather that the viewing angels are 20 degrees better when the screen is flipped upside down. As is noted here close to the buttom: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/display/ I find it difficult to see whats on screen when standing next to it, although it`s good while sitting down.
I’m not sure. My first one is several years old, but the the new one is, well, new, bought a couple of weeks ago. They behave just the same with the veiwing angles. I took a couple of pictures with them side by side. The one on the right is mounted upside down (usb-ports to the left). The left one is the new, first usb-ports to the right, then to the left. I rebooted the left one with the lcd rotated, so that the artwork is showing the same way but the screen flipped upside down.
Be careful, that’s not going to work with RoPieee as its USB/HDMI. The “official 7-inch Raspberry Pi Touchscreen” uses a dedicated ribbon cable. Only the official screen is supported.
Hi @wizardofoz internals are Top secret !…. some parts are home made, yet this streamer is no worse than $3-5,000 streamers I have blind tested home auditioned A/B (not to lab conditions). It stopped me upgrading my DAC and stopped me buying an Aurilac G1. Looking to move house end of the year and to consider if I start a streamer business (long story). Thank you for the interest.
I build stuff too…just completed a Ropieee with Khadas Tone Board setup with Analogue Sound Processor for Linkwitzlab.com LXmini setup. Some internal pics below, the switch on the rear allows fo direct ASP input from any other source or uses the instal Ropieee and DAC combo.
