No I think that's confusion on my part cos I checked when I opened it up
to take the pics, as I say I have done other projects too. Waveshare in
DSI format is what I used for bathroom streamer we were discussing
initally.
Thanks again Gary! Maybe you changed out the display on your hifi unit
since comment 8? I thought it was the HDMI version of the 4.3"
Waveshare but no big deal, I was just confused a little. I know things
evolve especially when you have a 3d printer and are in COVID lockdown!
The screen for the HiFi version is a 'Elecrow'
(https://www.elecrow.com/5-inch-hdmi-800-x-480-capacitive-touch-lcd-display-for-raspberry-pi-pc-sony-ps4.html)
5" HDMI with capacitive USB touchscreen. Nice and and good value but
with the addition of the connectors and thier RA adapters probably

Ahh is this one for the hifi unit not the same size screen, 4.3" as your
in-wall unit? I'd assumed so but maybe not..
Agreed dealing with the bulky connectors on the HDMI version could be an
issue with my in-wall
Cheers.
The screen is vertical, I could have angled it but its on a shelf and
the viewing angle of the display is perfectly fine.
Yes if I could get a DSI screen in the size I wanted for the application
then I don't think I would go the HDMI route again. I have done a few
projects with PI's
You do nice work Gary.. very impressive! Is the screen mounted
vertically or set back at a bit of an angle? Hard to tell..
So would you just use the DSI version in this hifi one as well if you
were to do it over?
I can't quite tell but it looks like only 2 wires for the audio output?
Does
Hi Greg, this is it. The case is one from Douk audio (Amazon, eBay etc.)
and I 3D printed a front panel to take the screen. The touch screen
(HDMI/USB) based actually looks better in the flesh with the morie
patten being caused by the camera.
Not a huge deal but with HDMI screens and USB
Thank you Gary, I'll keep you posted.. probably at least a few weeks
before I get to that part of it..
I got more of my parts, and will start with getting everything working
and testing the long HDMI/USB
cables with the HDMI version, it turned out to be almost 10m needed..

Thank you so much for the sharing the mounting plate design! You

Hi Greg, I hope you had a good one given the current worldwide

As if you didnt need another thing in you life to keep you busy but 3D

importing and slicing for my 3D printer. so yes I printed them myself. I

You mean power wires to the touch screen? I bought one of 'these'

Red and Black wires? Do you mean your wires on to the amp?
Yeah wouldnt put the PSU in the wall. That why I went with it in the
loft. Mine is insulated and there is a smoke detector up there

Forgot to mention with the HDMI version there is also a little SW setup
to get the HDMI resolutions configured and the touch screen but this is
well documented on the forums and as a recall some links on the
Waveshare site.
Thank you Gary! Especially good to have feedback on the HDMI version.
I do not think it would be realistic to locate the equipment in the wall
there. I might be able to find a different wall location. I still much
prefer having the amps in the basement as it is a fairly large kitchen

Hi Greg I have used the Waveshare HDMI version on my hi-fi build and
that uses a Allo DAC. The problem with these as you have already figured
are different connector placements and angles. 6meters/20ft should but
just OK with quality cables. Remember the USB cable is carrying the
touchscreen data
Looks beautiful garym999!
I'd really like to do something like that for my kitchen and deck.. it
looks like they have a similar size HDMI touch screen..

Could I connect that to the RPi via ~20' cable? I was planning to have
the RPi's and amps
Strictly speaking soldering is not required. The RPi bolts on to the
Waveshare screen and uses a ribbon cable to connect to the DSI
connector. The amp is a Hat so stacks on top of the lot it also includes
a PSU for the RPi so all thats needed is a single 18V PSU. So far plug
and play.

Hi both,
Thanks very much for your answers.

Hi,
I wouldn't be worried about having class D amplifiers (like the AMP2) in
an enclosure, providing that the amp has a bit of air around, is not in
direct contact with very sensitive/flammable materials and the enclosure
is not super tightly insulated...

Hi guys, I am planing to do some renovation at home (bathroom) and would
like to have your opinion on the following set up with in-ceiling

the current idea would be the following:

Wires to speakers
- in the bathroom
