In this project I will show you how I used a 1280×800 LCD Kit to build a battery powered portable mini monitor which is useful for your DSLR camera, your Raspberry Pi or to extend the viewing field of your computer. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Watch the videos!
The 2 parts of this video should give you all the fundamental information you need to build this right. But I will give you some extra pictures and additional tips to make it even easier.
Step 2: Order your parts!
