ELECROW CrowVision is an 11.6-inch IPS capacitive touchscreen display with a 1366×768 resolution that is designed to work not only with the Raspberry Pi but most single-board computers with mounting holes within a 100 x 80 mm rectangle. ELECROW company has launched crowdfunding for this highly adaptable touchscreen designed specifically for makers, Now live on CrowdSupply with the affordable price of 99$. CrowVision
Let see what the packages include:
- The display module itself
- A 12V/2A power adapter
- USB Type-C and micro USB cables
- An HDMI to mini HDMI cable
- A micro HDMI to mini HDMI cable
- two “ribbons” for cable management, a screwdriver
- An OSD control board with five keys
- A user manual.
The display does not come with an enclosure, so it’s better suited for DIY projects where users design their own enclosure or mounting solution. The control board is based on a Realtek RTD2556 display controller, and mounting for the single board computer is comprised of three threads and screws that I slide around the X and Y axis.
Mounting a single board is rather straightforward and after securing the board with the three screws, we can connect a micro USB to USB cable for the touchscreen, a mini HDMI to micro HDMI cable for video output, and a USB to USB-C cable for power.
After testing, I could say that the Elecrow CrowVision display module was relatively straightforward with the touchscreen display working well in Windows 11, Ubuntu 22.04, and Raspberry Pi OS. Mounting support for multiple single-board computers is also an interesting feature.
