Tontec 7 Inches Raspberry Pi LCD Touch Screen Display TFT Monitor AT070TN90 with Touchscreen Kit HDMI VGA Input Driver Board

I'm including instructions on how to connect the components together. After opening and removing the contents, follow the steps below to properly connect the wires:Place the screen face up in front of you. The wire ribbon should face the bottom edge (nearest you).Place the largest green board in front of you below the screen. The power plug, HDMI port, VGA port, and composite video port should face the bottom edge (nearest you). The "TTL OUT" port should be at the top edge (furthest from you). It will be upside-down. Connect the screen's ribbon to the TTL OUT port, lining it up as is. (To connect, gently pull the 2 black tabs slightly out from the port, gently slide the ribbon's edge into it, and gently squeeze the black tabs back into place.)Connect one side of the white ribbon to the right-most white vertical port. Connect the other side to the white port of the 5 button board.Place the touchscreen in front of you with the wire ribbon towards the bottom edge. It should be right-of-center. Using the 4 color wire cable, connect the smaller end into the touchscreen's ribbon. The grooved side of the cable should be face-up to line up correctly with the touchscreen's ribbon.Connect the other side with the larger black connector into the large black port of the controller board. The side with exposed metal should be face up / or the smooth side should be facing the board.Connect the white connector of the USB cable into the white port of the controller board.Use 12V to power up the board. The polarity of the input barrel should be positive center pole, negative outer pole.You can change inputs by pressing the button closest to the LED light. (Obviously, connect to one or more of those ports!)Unlike the pictures, the IR sensor is already installed on the board with the buttons. This is for the remote.*** Edit additional info for software drivers in Linux 888Good blog on getting this working on Raspberry Pi Model B under Linux: http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2013/01/17/how-to-get-evtouch-touch-screen-kit-working-in-linux/Finally, enjoy!The kit is good. Minus 1/2 star for not providing instructions. Minus another 1/2 more star for using a mini CD disk that isn't compatible with slide in readers. (Okay, I didn't want to remove 2 stars since the product is good.)

Ok so look- the device is great- works as it should and was just what I needed for my Raspberry Pi 2 project. The instructions however, are less than acceptable. I will say though that "Abbey" from support was very responsive.To save you all some time, I'm going to paste in the steps I followed to get this working with a Raspberry Pi 2 running Raspbian Wheezy. Many of the blog posts and other forum postings out there on this unit reference compiling the kernel- you no longer need to do that....in fact, in Wheezy, I didn't even have to install the drivers which Abbey said I needed to.Here's how I approached it from a completely new setup:1. sudo apt-get update2. sudo apt-get upgrade3. Configure /boot/config.txt by adding the following. This will fully utilize the LCD display:hdmi_force_hotplug=1hdmi_group=2hdmi_mode=1hdmi_mode=87hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0max_usb_current=14.

Paste the text into a file named 01-input.conf at: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/I use nano for any of my text editing for the above entries and edits.The touch works great after having done all of this. I'm not sure why they couldn't mention in the details these steps but, nevertheless, after hours and hours of scouring the Internet and trying to et it work, I did and the above is how. YMMV but give it a shot!As for the components received, instructions and support issues aside, it's a great product. Sharp screen, and responsive touch panel. Just remember to remove the sticker from the LCD and the two from the touch panel before applying it. You'll need to provide your own tape to join it to the the LCD- I just used scotch tape overlapping the back. Good kit.

I bought this product so I could make a carputer (car computer). I had everything I needed for a simple touchscreen display. 7" is a typical screen size for any in-dash system. Setup was simple, although it had no instructions. There was a YouTube video I came across that helped, but overall it was a basic setup.If you are putting one together this might help you out. The LCD screen has a protective cover over it. So before you attach the touchscreen to it, make sure you remove it. The touchscreen has two protective covers one front and the other back, and it has its own adhesive strip on the touchscreen. You will see it when you remove the protective screen there will be a little tab to pull off the the plastic covering over the adhesive glue. The LCD screen plugs into the main board with the video adapters and the touchscreen plugs into the small board along with the USB cable. Last the ribbon cable connects the main board and the switch board together. Once that is done you are good to go.Quick note: If you want to have the remote control to work there is some basic soldering needed to connect the IR sensor to the switch board. Don't worry the place where you will solder is a good distance away from any other circuit so even if you are not great with a solder iron, you will most likely not burn anything on the board.Shipping was very fast from this shipper and they packaged everything nicely. Bubble wrap a box, more bubble wrap and then in a white bag.The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 is, because this LCD touchscreen has more accessories available in this kit that were not included in this one. Other than that this is a great product and I am a very happy customer.
