My project involves connecting my Raspberry Pi 3 to a 5" HDMI 800x480 display. I want to make my own little cable to do it, and I bought some HDMI plugs off eBay that are ready to solder onto wires.
I thought I could just wire them up pin to pin (making sure the wires twist over so they match up to the same pin on each head) but I just realised that there are different HDMI speed standards and I don't know what that means in terms of how a HDMI cable is made.
Is there anything I should know before trying this? Just wouldn't want to ruin anything.
This is the display; https://raspberry.piaustralia.com.au/little-bird-5-display
And the model on the circuit board is XTP2046 (though I notice this will give search results that show other types of display that use the same chipset)
(The display supports mounting the Pi directly onto it, and I've been doing this for testing, but this arrangement won't work for my actual project)
