Review on Smraza Raspberry Touchscreen Heatsinks Raspbian by Bobby Plymell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

There are no instructions for non-Smraza images.

I am working with a custom image and wanted to use it as a local touch screen for a project. Unfortunately the only guide they offer is how to use the Smraza Raspbian image. This is unacceptable. I have absolutely no way of knowing how to install and get it working on my device. Using only micro HDMI and USB direct power connections will rotate the display 90 degrees. When I try to change this via VNC then my VNC window rotates 90 degrees and the touch screen settings are still way off. To top it off, there are no setup instructions to get the touch settings working. I knew it was a gamble and unfortunately it wasn't going to work for my needs. I only give it two stars because the small plastic frame fits my Pi4 project very well. Or at least the bottom plate. Not all racks are suitable for my application.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • makes me nervous
