NCC10281982B Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Greetings, I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi model B+ with the intention of setting up a car computer. Because this unit only has HDMI video out put my options are semi limited. Meaning composite / vga monitors need not apply. I'm thinkinking I want something larger than 7 inches because the distance between the dashboard and headrest is about 40 inches. This distance is also a little long for a touch screen setup IMHO. I'm half considering a smallish desktop display. Also, for some unknow reason on my prototyping setup the Pi will only output HDMI safe mode. This limits the screen resolution to 640x480 and crops the screen considerably. My setup is Pi -> HDMI cable ->HDMI/DVI adapter -> KVM -> Monitor (Samsung SyncMaster S24B240). I don't want to buy something if it won't work at full screen. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulktreg Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 You have composite on the 3.5mm jack socket and I've had some success with the Camac HDMI to VGA adapter. ..so composite and VGA are still an option? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 http://youtu.be/bdQ8wBiEtGw?t=7sI tried connecting the pi B+ to my Tv via composite. No go. The HTMI connection worked briefly, but the TV could not seem to decide between normal and safe mode. I did get a picture with both modes at least Still...http://youtu.be/bdQ8wBiEtGw?t=7s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
