Hi Mark The display can be changed from about 10 deg down, through upright to about 45 deg back. When tilting down, I have to be careful not to knock the glass front of the display on the aluminium bracket. The angle is held because the two pivot screws at either end of the bracket are fitted with spring washers and torqued up to give a friction grip at any position. There is so much jammed into the box, it is impossible to take clear pictures inside!. The problem is that the various commercial chassis mount cables (ethernet and usb to chassis and usb male to female for the memory stick) are too long and have to be looped around inside. I also had to make of new usb male ends, with no strain relief, (shorter), so as to enable them to be plugged into tthe Pi when it is screwed to it's mount points in the box. If I was starting again to build this, I would make up my own cables and make them to length, but hey! what the eye cannot see....! I used this:- https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-7-touchscreen-display-with-frame as a starter. The inspiration for the Hammond came from here:- https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=124705 I bought a 5v 3amp wallwart from Ebay, and feed it into the ATXraspi power control. I then took two switched outputs from the ATXraspi, fed the PI from it's normal micro USB and the display control board through it's micro USB. I had to change the GPIO used by the ATXraspi as the normal GPIO7 and GPIO8 were in use. This power system works well. There is no indication of any power probs when booting ( the little under power icon shown on the display), and by pressing the power switch for >2 sec the Pi shiuts down the software gracefully then powers off completely at the ATXraspi. cheers Patrick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ superpat999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9340 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101856 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
