Display recommendations

[u/TheLittleFastCat-]

Hello I know the Q is still quite new but do you have any recommendations for a display for the 60pin Jmedia pins on the bottom side of the Q?

arduino.cc has the Media Carrier Board that attaches to the 1.8V jmedia bus:

Arduino UNO Media Carrier

and on the product page for that same media carrier board from another distributor here ..

it specifically says that it supports and works with the Waveshare 8-DSI-TOUCH-A display.

I'm real curious what the experience is like if you get one 🤔

I did some research and other people say most DSI waveshare display should work with the media carrier

sweet. kinda pricy but it would open up the pipeline between the imaging-specific silicon support that the Uno Q built in and the output display. IIRC a couple of months ago when they had their Arduino Days or whatever they announced releasing driver support to directly access and use the imaging support for images/video streaming which had previously been implemented in their distro as a software-only implementation. I have not returned to the boards I have yet to test out exactly what it means but from what I saw it opened up the path between the imaging input and the display to be handled all in silicon

There’s an extensive exploration of the Linux graphics stack on the Uno Q I remember seeing on the Arduino forum. Here it is: https://forum.arduino.cc/t/linux-graphics-stack-on-the-arduino-uno-q/1430713
