Hello raspberrypiers
I just dug these out from my old tech box.
I set up these Raspberry Pi Touch Displays a few years ago for my 8 year old grandson. So we could contact each other. Pretending it was a walkie-Talkie, except with face to face chat, when he was camping in the garden or bedroom.
I used a Raspberry pi model 3B, with sparky-linux and "SimpleX chat" for instant-messaging and video-calling.
Over the time we used it, I found the cables absolutely useless. They kept failing, bad connections and creases. I replaced them multiple times.
I did initially think it was just little hands squashing the cable or being randomly thrown on the ground, kids will be kids, but it also happened to me.
I know they are really cheap, but is there a better alternative to using the Raspberry Pi 7” LCD Touchscreen Display cable?
A more secure solid connection method?
Maybe connecting through the GPIO pins, usb, or even a "hat" that would connect the raspberry pi to the touch screen without the cable.
I have two of these gathering lots of dust and want to do something with them.
