Should I go with a temporary option to tide me over until the officially supported screen finally arrives? My SB3 display is dying, so I need to come up with a decent solution in the near future, then rethink the setup when all the right pieces become available for finished-looking product. Opinions welcome! 2-SB3s, 1-Touch, and a Raspberry Pi B+ with TekDevice dacBerry 3+ running piCorePlayer. Mac Mini as a server (OS X Yosemite).

On the SD card, I will have to stick to the microSD of the pi that fits fully inside okay - I'll draw a picture later. Thinking for the pi itself, a case but longer (to hide USB on the left), SDcard on the right, Ethernet at the left , audio on the back (classic). Double sized height to accept a codec. On the top of the pi, another box for the screen and 4 buttons. At the bottom of the pi and the screen is an hinge that rotates the screen to have it set from flat on the pi box to vertical (or any other position in the middle). In the hinge, the wires to communicate between the board and maybe a battery to make it independant. LMS 7.7.2 - 5 radio, 3 Boom, 4 Duet, 1 Touch, 1 SB2.

Hi philippe. I think that would be a great idea. Maybe include some buttons and a rotary button for adjusting sound level? Greg and I have been discussing supporting a display for the piCorePlayer for some time now. But we have been reluctant because there are so many different screens so it would be difficult to support them all. Therefore, we have been following the discussion closely and waiting for the announcement of the official raspberry display: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63t=64041 https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44t=104630 http://raspi.tv/2014/raspberry-pi-official-7-inch-dsi-prototype-preview From what can be read the screen could be announced very soon - but then again the discussion started already in 2013!!! We have more or less decided to wait for this display. The advantage would be; It does not connect via HDMI, so the HDMI port is free for audio-out connection. It will probably be supported very well from the raspberry foundation, so the drivers are available and last but not least we would only have to support the official screen. For your project it probably also will be difficult to make a design that can fit several displays. So you will have to make a choice on which screen you are supporting.

Regards Steen I was thinking about choosing only one option like this one http://www.adafruit.com/products/2423 to start with and potentially in the CAD design, makinn the housing of the screen separated to that it is possible, in the future, to adapt just that piece to another display. But this one would give a capacitive display and 4 buttons. Is 320x240 enough and 2.8 or do you think the interest is for something bigger ? There is a 480x320, but I don't think anybody wants to go resistive. The rotary button is tempting, but I have to stay with something that is just an assembly of existing pieces for people that do not want to use sodlering, so we would need to find something that would fit on the raspi as is and provide pulses up/down to be converted to volume changes. I did not find anything (yet) In my initial thread, I said A+ but in fact it must be B+ or B2 as I assume some will want ethernet LMS 7.7.2 - 5 radio, 3 Boom, 4 Duet, 1 Touch, 1 SB2.
