Review on High-Definition Touchscreen Raspberry ROADOM: Responsive & Compatible 10.1" Display with Built-In Speakers by Robert Walker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Use for HamClock on Pi 2b, comes with good adapter and cable set.

Nicely packaged with mounting screws, 3A power supply and various useful "gift" cables. It works for me with a Raspberry Pi 2b to power the HamClock app. The instructions don't mention Pi2b explicitly, but it was easy to understand. The cables on the back are a little chunky, but the connections are as follows: 1) HDMI-to-HDMI - unfortunately low enough that the standard cable had to be crimped. Here it would be great to connect HDMI at right angles. 2) Micro - USB and GPIO pins - to power the Pi and screen with the included 3A power supply. It works well and doesn't show the low voltage warnings I've seen with my iPhone charger. 3) USB - USB - to support touch screen capability. No driver had to be provided. Now I'm struggling with the HamClock code to fill as much screen as possible so there isn't a gap at the bottom. By just playing around, the touchscreen is responsive due to the general lighting of the room, bright enough and sharper than my photo. I can read it from across the room.
