Hi, i want to build a gps navigation system for my bike with the raspberry pi zero. I found this this project and am now selecting the hardware: For the GPS module the Adafruit Ultimate GPS Module seems a good choice, mainly since it does not necessarily need an external antenna. For the Display i found the EA TFT024-23ATNN by Display visions, which is transflexive (so energy efficient, good readable outdoors, but when the sun goes down i still got the backlight) and also is a touchscreen, so i dont need an additional input device. But i have no idea how (and if) i could connect its flexible cable to the raspberry pi. Thanks for any advice.

 

Is that a MOTORCYLE "bike", or a BICYCLE "bike"? There is a big difference in the vibration and the mounting scheme details. Also in the power supply availability. Packaging the creation will be the challenge.

I am talking about a bicycle (sorry, i tend to forget that there is the other meaning). And from a power perspective: I have a big powerbank, that i also used for my laptop, and a usb hub on my dynamo. The main thing now is that i found this screen, that seems great, but have no idea how to connect it.

 

Perhaps Mister Chips would be able to tell you the correct terms to launch a search that will find the connection information for you.

 

Hey, I’m also trying to build a bike computer using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 and an EA TFT024-23ATNN display. How is your project going so far?
