So I was looking for a way to use the Arduino as a bridge between the Raspberry PI and an IPhone LCD screen, I read something about using UART in the I/O headers and looked on the arudino site and doin this
Used for communication between the Arduino board and a computer or other devices. All Arduino boards have at least one serial port (also known as a UART or USART): Serial. It communicates on digital pins 0 (RX) and 1 (TX) as well as with the computer via USB. Thus, if you use these functions, you cannot also use pins 0 and 1 for digital input or output.
So do I plug input/output from the iPhone screen into these pins, or how would I do this, I need the RAspberry PI to use the IPhone LCD screen as a monitor like a normal computer screen, I heard u can connect the IPhone LCD screen into the Arduino but not the Raspberry PI so how do I make this work? Please help because the iPhone screen is the only screen that is a perfect fit for my project, it fits where I need it to go exactly, with just a tiny bit of wiggle room which is good, so I need to use this screen, your help us much apriciated!!!!!
The iPhone LCDs require significantly more speed and memory than the Arduino can provide. In order to drive them you'd essentially need a complete display controller between the Arduino and the LCD.
Due to the Arduino's limited performance and memory, you should plan on using Arduino specific LCD displays.
How do I make a complete display controller? And is it possible to have the Raspberry PI's memory and speeds running it and just have the Arduino connecting the two together? If this is completley impossible the what would be a good screen replacement for this, it literally had to be the same size though, the IPhone LCD is the EXACT perfect fit for my project and I serionsally need this screen or a screen if this size to work. All I really need is the Arduino to connect the raspberry PI and the iPhoe LCD, if there is another way to connect these 2 devices so the Raspberry PI can use the IPhone LCD as a screen then I would be happy to hear that, thanks!
A: is this available in the U.S.A.?
B: what are the dimensions? I need it to fit in an altoids tin, that's y the iPhone screen was my first choice, it fits PERFECTALLY, so I need to know the dimensions, not just the 3.2 in part, because the short part can't even be 2.5 in, it has to be 2 and 6/16ths of an inch or less, not too small though, so this does sound ok if it fits
