Re: sbitx with new Raspberry Pi 5? Different screen connector!


 

It's just a smaller connector with the same signals. Raspberry Pi makes cables with the small connector on one end and the previously standard larger connector on the other end. Places that sell Raspberry Pi 5 boards should have them available in your choice of three lengths,?and you will need?one to?use an RPi 5 in an sBITX. There are now two ports; both can be used for either a camera or a display, unlike the dedicated ports on previous Raspberry Pi models.

Raf,
Do you think that connector is some other bus? I hate the idea of using an external usb and hdmi cables to connect an internal display. Are we back to 1983 PC design?
